Johnny Depp claims he lost $650 movie earnings

Johnny Depp has sued a newspaper agency and a journalist for an article in which he was described as a “wife-beater”. He has denied the accusations of being violent towards Amber Heard, who was married to him from 2015 to 2017. At London’s Royal Courts of Justice, Depp was asked about events that took place on Amber Heard’s 30th birthday party on April 21, 2016. Depp arrived two hours late at the venue which was located at Eastern Columbia Building in Los Angeles, where the former couple resided.

Johnny Depp revealed that he arrived late because of an emergency; he had to attend a meeting with his accountant, Edward White. At the meet, he was informed that his finances are in a “disastrous state”. The actor reportedly said that he had discovered that he had lost $650 million which he made from movies due to alleged financial mismanagement by his former business managers who took “quite a lot” of his money. Depp found out that tax has not been paid from his side for around 17 years since Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3. He owned the IRS $100 million in back taxes. Even after the loss, the newspaper’s attorney claimed that the actors' earning was around $60 million that financial year.

Deuters told the court that he witnessed no violence on the flight. He mentioned that Johnny Depp was “not drunk, but was very low, very quiet” on the flight. He recalled that Depp was “drawing and painting” on the way. Deuters mentioned that the actor had been addicted to opiates, which has a downing effect.
