Johnny Depp settles assault case | gossip

entertainment">The Hollywood Reporter reports that court documents have been filed showing that a settlement has been reached. The case will be dropped if Depp adheres to certain conditions. What those conditions entail has not been made public. The case will be reopened if Depp does not meet the conditions in time.

entertainment">Depp is said to have misbehaved on the set during recordings in April 2017, after he “had been drinking all day”. When Brooks said something about it, Depp allegedly punched him twice in the ribs. In the indictment, Brooks said Depp had beaten him “with the aim of making the plaintiff suffer the humiliation.” He also claimed that Depp’s outbursts of anger created a “hostile, intimidating and unsafe work environment.” Brooks was eventually fired when he refused to sign a statement promising not to sue over the alleged violent incident.

entertainment">However, Depp claims that his actions were pure self-defense and that Brooks provoked others. He was supported by Emma Danoff, who wrote the script for City of Lies† She claimed to have evidence that the incident Brooks mentioned never happened. According to her, Depp has confronted Brooks with his behavior, but only after expressing himself racist towards a homeless woman.
