Johnny Depp Sued For Assault
A film crew member is claiming that the troubled Hollywood star punched him twice on set during the making of the Biggie and Tupac movie, 'City Of Lies’.
Location manager Gregg ‘Rocky’ Brooks claims that Johnny Depp attacked him, hitting him twice in the ribs, after he informed the crew that they could only film one more take of a scene. The accident allegedly happened on 13 April, 2017.
He also claims that Depp then taunted him, saying, “I will give you $100,000 to punch me in the face right now!”
Depp's bodyguards, it's being reported, had to drag him away from the scene.
Brooks claims Depp's "breath reeked of alcohol" and he says he believes the actor had also been doing drugs on set.
Depp has yet to comment.
