If you thought Mischa’s year was rough, take a peek at Johnny’s.
Can you believe it’s already been a year since Amber Heardfiled for divorce?
While Mandy Lane’s rebounded with that billionaire Tesla dude, life hasn’t been treating her ex-abuser too well. Since the exes closed the curtains on their yearlong marriage, Johnny Depp’s continued to spiral.
After canning his longtime management - TMG (The Management Group) - the trainwreck filed a $28 million suit against the company and its attorneys, claiming they racked up millions in fees that Depp never agreed to - in addition to failing to file or pay his taxes on time, costing him a boatload of federal penalties.
Well, after being slammed with the suit, TMG fired back and filed a cross-complaint claiming they did everything they could to help the wayward actor, providing a lengthy list of outrageous spending habits… to the tune of $2 million a month. Here’s a taste of La Vida Depp:
- $75 million on 14 houses.
- $18 million luxury yacht.
- $4 million on a failed start-up music label.
- $300,000 a month on 40 full-time employees.
- $150,000 a month on 24/7 security detail.
- $200,000 a month on a private plane, since he “refused to fly by any other means.”
- $30,000 a month on wine.
- Oh, and the best:
Seriously, if you feel bad about your bank account, just take a whiff of that shit.
TMG followed up the juicy exposé with a statement straight-up calling their former client a “habitual liar” who “denies responsibility for his own outrageous conduct” and only “has himself to blame for his financial issues.”
Trust me, we’ve known.
In May, The Hollywood Reporter added onto the slew of Johnny stories with their own investigation, claiming that the actor regularly purchased Amber millions of dollars worth of gifts when they were dating, and even bought his ex-wife Vanessa Paradis a $4.5 million home after they split.
And it seems like his finances aren’t the only thing in disarray, the article went on to claim that on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Johnny was so late that production camped a staffer outside his home whose job was solely to call them when Johnny was awake so the cast and crew knew when to expect the actor.
Oh, and get this - that same week, TMG amended their earlier complaint, adding that Johnny was so fucking lazy, that he had a sound engineer feed him lines on set via an earpiece so he wouldn’t have to memorize shit.
Yep, that cost money too!
But in the latest twist of this big bucks saga, a batch of emails between Camp Depp and TMG were released via court documents - including a correspondence between Johnny and TMG principal Joel Mandel:
And Joel’s response:
Huh, it’s almost like they tried to save his broke ass.
But get this, in those same documents, there are bits about last summer’s divorce-from-hell, including this little tidbit straight from his management’s mouth:
Don’t worry, there’s more:
Wow, so you’re telling me that the woman who had evidence of being abused was actually abused? Mind-blowing!
As the courtroom war rages on, the wife beater still doesn’t have a clue as to what to do with his life. Us Weekly reported that he’s in the midst of constructing underground tunnels to connect five of his pricy pads - and most recently, he pulled a Bill Murray in Lost In Translation and started doing beer commercials… in Japan.
Johnny, at this point, rip a page from the Mel Gibson playbook: hitch it out to Passages Malibu, try and pull yourself together - or at least spare us the sight of your busted mug for 90 day.
