Johnny Depp goes on to say claim that he acted in self-defense and the “defense of others.” Read on…
CelebNMovies247.com has the latest on Johnny Depp who believes that he was defending himself against location manager of City Of Lives Gregg ‘Rocky’ Brooks.
According to court docs:
Gregg ‘Rocky’ Brooks filed court documents last month, in which he accused the actor of “maliciously and forcefully” punching him twice in his ribs before saying he’d pay the location manager $100,000 to “punch [him] in the face” in April 2017, and though the 55-year-old star hasn’t denied lashing out, he has argued any violence brought upon the man was because Johnny “feared for his safety.”
The Blast claimed the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor wasn’t only scared for himself, but allegedly observed his director, Brad Furman, also feared for his safety.
He believes the alleged assault was in self-defense and the ”defense of others”, and has asked for the case to be dismissed and his accuser not to receive any compensation.
In Gregg’s legal documents, the crew member slammed the ‘Lone Ranger’ star over his conduct, alleging he “was intentional and malicious and done for the purpose of causing plaintiff to suffer humiliation.”
Brooks also claims that Depp was drunk stating:
Johnny’s “intoxication and temper created a hostile, abusive and unsafe work environment.”
He says that his behavior eventually resulted in him being assaulted by Johnny during the filming of the crime thriller when he tried to enforce a permit restriction during a late night of filming.
