Title: Johnny Depp’s Ex-Biz Managers Can Still Go After Actor For Fraud, Judge Rules

Johnny Depp today took two steps forward and a significant step and a half back in his $25 million legal battle with his former business managers over the Pirates Of The Caribbean star’s finances.

After listening to arguments from lawyers on both sides in a demurrer from Depp’s team at a hearing downtown this morning, Judge Teresa Beaudet stood by most of her tentative ruling on the matter, first filed by Depp on January 13 with allegations of “gross mismanagement and sometimes outright fraud” over the actor’s long-term relationship with the company also known as The Management Group. With the matter moving forward after today’s hearing, the case is still set to go before a jury on January 24 next year — unless a settlement deal is struck before then.

“Contrary to Depp’ s recent public statements that his exorbitant purchases were him ‘investing’ his own money,” an amended compliant of May 1 added says, “Depp’s extravagant spending has often been marked by a lack of impulse control and often increased immediately after Mandel would confront Depp regarding his finances.”

EXCLUSIVE: They said they were going to do it when the Pirates of the Caribbean actor sued them for fraud in a $25 million lawsuit this month, and today Johnny Depp’s former longtime business managers the Mandel Company hit back at the three-time Oscar nominee with a cross-complaint of fraud and more of their own – full of details like the $3 million bucks the Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas star spent to shoot Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes out of a cannon over a decade ago and the $2-million he spends every month on expenses.

Adding to the un-balanced sheet, there’s the more than “$75 million to acquire, improve and furnish 14 residences” around the world, $3 million to fire Thompson’s dusty remains out of a cannon when the infamous writer died in 2005, full-time personal security and “45 luxury cars.” Then there’s more with the likes of a vanity record label; $10 million a year to support an entourage of friends, family and personal employees; fine wines flown in from around the world at a cost of $30,000 a month; “millions to acquire and maintain a massive and extremely expensive art collection including over 200 collectible pieces and works by world famous artists such as Warhol, Klimt, Basquiat, and Modigliani”; and reports of loans from Disney.

“Secret Service, we have video evidence of Johnny Depp threatening to assassinate President Trump. Please do something!” an account linked to Tennessee Republicans wrote on Twitter. Others suggested a boycott of Mr. Depp’s films, although supporters countered that the remarks were clearly in jest.

This is Hollyweird-on-Hollyweird, so I think the public will be best served if it goes Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce (everyone's resources are consumed by legal costs).

It sounds like he is headed for bankruptcy like so many others of his ilk.
