There's a difference between accusations and a four year media investigation. Especially UK media that has to adhere to pretty strict libel laws. They've had to make sure they have the receipts and proof for the papers legal team to sign off on the story. This isn't like Zoe Quinn chucking out some accusations on Twitter and ending up with a bloke topping himself. Also if you remember, Depp lost his lible case in the UK.
