In November 2020, the [[High Court of Justice]] ruled that 12 of the 14 incidents of physical violence alleged by NGN occurred and that in three of them, Depp had put Heard "in fear of her life".<ref name="guardiaNovembersecond" /><ref name="BBCnovembersecond" /> The court rejected Depp's claim of a hoax as well as his characterization of Heard as a "gold-digger".<ref>{{cite web|date=November 25, 2020|title=Johnny Depp libel case appeal bid turned down|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-55079825|access-date=March 24, 2021|work=BBC|archive-date=December 3, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201203051347/https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-55079825|url-status=live}}</ref> On the other hand, the court found that the characterization of Depp as a "wife beater" by ''The Sun'' was "substantially true".<ref name="guardiaNovembersecond" /><ref name="BBCnovembersecond" /> Following the verdict, Depp resigned from the ''[[Fantastic Beasts (film series)|Fantastic Beasts]]'' franchise after being asked to do so by its production company, [[Warner Bros.]]<ref name="Beasts">{{Cite news|last=Lee|first=Benjamin|date=November 6, 2020|title=Johnny Depp says he has been asked to resign from Fantastic Beasts franchise|language=en-GB|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/nov/06/johnny-depp-fantastic-beasts-resign-franchise-statement|access-date=December 9, 2020|issn=0261-3077|archive-date=December 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201209200012/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/nov/06/johnny-depp-fantastic-beasts-resign-franchise-statement|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
Depp appealed the verdict, with his lawyers accusing Heard of not following through on a pledge to donate her divorce settlement to charity, contrary to her testimony.

{{quote|We do not accept that there is any ground for believing that the judge may have been influenced by any such general perception as [Depp's lawyer] relies on. In the first place, he does not refer to [Heard's] charitable donation at all in the context of his central findings. On the contrary, he only mentions it in a very particular context... and after he had already reached his conclusions in relation to the 14 incidents... It is clear from a reading of the judgment as a whole that the judge based his conclusions on each of the incidents on his extremely detailed review of the evidence specific to each incident. ... In an approach of that kind there was little need or room for the judge to give weight to any general assessment of Ms. Heard’s credibility... we conclude that the appeal has no real prospect of success.}}

Depp was arrested in [[Vancouver]] in 1989 for assaulting a security guard after the police were called to end a loud party at his hotel room.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.upi.com/Archives/1989/03/09/Teen-heart-throb-Johnny-Depp-who-plays-an-undercover-policeman/8389605422800/ |title=Teen heart-throb Johnny Depp, who plays an undercover policeman... |date=March 9, 1989 |access-date=December 19, 2016 |work=[[UPI]] |archive-date=August 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807131359/http://www.upi.com/Archives/1989/03/09/Teen-heart-throb-Johnny-Depp-who-plays-an-undercover-policeman/8389605422800 |url-status=live }}</ref> When later asked about the incident in 1991, Depp stated: "The guy had a boner for me... He had a wild hair up his ass, and he got real mouthy with me, saying, 'I know who you are, but you can't come up unless you're a guest here.'

Depp was also arrested in New York City in 1994 after causing significant damage to his room at [[The Mark Hotel]], where he was staying with [[Kate Moss]], his girlfriend.

In August 2022, Depp and Jeff Beck were accused of stealing an incarcerated African American man's poem by incorporating its verses into the lyrics to their song "Sad Motherfuckin' Parade" in their 2022 collaborative album, ''[[18 (Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp album)|18]]''. [[Bruce Jackson (scholar)|Bruce Jackson]], the [[folklore|folklorist]] who made the accusation, requested that Depp and Beck give due credit to Slim Wilson, the actual originator of the lyrics, for the song. He also requested that if any profits are made from the album, the two should donate them to an organization that aids African Americans.<ref>{{cite newsmagazine |last=Blistein |first=Jon |date=August 5, 2022 |title=Johnny Depp, Jeff Beck Accused of Stealing Lyrics From Incarcerated Man’sMan's Poem |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/johnny-depp-jeff-beck-sad-motherfuckin-parade-hobo-ben-1392180/ |url-status=live |workmagazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |location=[[New York City]], U.S. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230722063557/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/johnny-depp-jeff-beck-sad-motherfuckin-parade-hobo-ben-1392180/ |archive-date=July 22, 2023 |access-date=February 28, 2024}}</ref> In response, Depp and Beck sued Jackson, claiming that "Sad Motherfuckin' Parade" is an "original work of authorship and creativity" and that Jackson's accusation amounts to a cash grab. Jackson responded by noting that he had never made any "formal financial demands" and, while maintaining that Depp and Beck never wrote the lyrics to that song, said that them suing the person who caught them stealing the lyrics is akin to "a burglar suing a homeowner because he cut his hand on the kitchen window he broke getting in."<ref>{{cite newsmagazine |last=Blistein |first=Jon |date=October 22, 2022 |title=Johnny Depp, Jeff Beck Sue the Folklorist Who Accused Them of Stealing an Incarcerated Man’sMan's Poem |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/johnny-depp-jeff-beck-sue-folklorist-accused-stealing-poem-1234616347/ |url-status=live |workmagazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |location=[[New York City]], U.S. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230117070943/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/johnny-depp-jeff-beck-sue-folklorist-accused-stealing-poem-1234616347/ |archive-date=January 17, 2023 |access-date=February 28, 2024}}</ref> This lawsuit is still ongoing.
