Johnny Depp Accused of Drunkenly Attacking Crew Member on Film Set
It wasn’t all that long ago that Johnny Depp was one of the most beloved and sought-after talents in Hollywood.
But those days have been washed away in a tidal wave and enough rum to keep the Black Pearl afloat.
At this point in his career, Depp is at best a walking punchline and at worst a menacing threat to loved ones and co-workers.
And lately, the public image so carefully constructed by his many handlers has been crumbling faster than ever, in large part because the managers, handlers, and security guards who have served as the living barrier between Depp and the press have been abandoning their posts in fear for their professional reputations and in some cases, their lives.
Just last week, several bodyguards filed suit against Depp claiming that he created a “toxic and unsafe” work environment in which hard drug use and reckless misuse of firearms were daily occurrences.
(Someone should tell Johnny he can stop studying up for that Hunter S. Thompson role anytime now.)
And because Depp’s specialty these days is finding new rock bottoms, this week brought news of yet another violent incident:
While filming the movie LAbyrinth in Los Angeles, Depp decided to take over directing a scene set on an actual city street, even going so far as to cast two of his friends in significant roles.
It went about as well as you would expect:
“Johnny’s friends were in the scene, and it just turned into way more than it should have been,” a production insider on set tells Page Six.
Sources say the day went long, and the shooting permit expired, but Depp refused to stop filming.
When a location manager informed director Brad Furman that the scene needed to wrap immediately, Furman responded, “Tell that to Johnny Depp!”
One crew member decided to do exactly that, approaching Depp and telling plainly, “This is the last shot.”
At that point, Depp – who, according to the witness, had been “smoking and drinking all day on set” – became irate and started shouting at the crew member.
“He was 6 inches away, yelling, ‘Who are you? You have no right!’”
When the crew member calmly attempted to defuse the situation, Depp reportedly swung on him, landing a “weak blow” to the ribs that had little effect.
But Depp didn’t stop there, of course.
He allegedly continued to berate the crew member and challenge him to fisticuffs, at one point bellowing, “I’ll give you $ 100,000 to punch me right now!”
Depp’s camp has yet to comment on the situation, but his
“Johnny Depp is a consummate professional, great collaborator and a supporter of other artists,” he said in a statement.
“He always treats the crew and people around him with the utmost respect. Movies can be stressful, and nonevents often become exaggerated. We all love stories — there isn’t one here.”
This is just the latest in a long line of professional entanglements for Depp who’s currently being sued by his former management team after alleging that the group brought him to the brink of bankruptcy.
The firm says Depp’s financial issues have more to do with his $ 30,000 a month wine habit.
We’re no legal experts but that sounds like a solid argument.

Johnny Depp Sued By Bodyguards: He Made Us Wipe the Coke Off His Face!
In case you haven’t been keeping up with the sad downward spiral of Johnny Depp in recent months, allow us to quickly fill you in:
Basically, over the course of the past year, the once-beloved actor has gone from brooding weirdo with mystique, a la Edward Scissorhands, to perennially-inebriated shyster who you wouldn’t trust to look after your houseplants, a la some unsettling combo of Captain Jack Sparrow and Depp’s Hunter S. Thompson caricature from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
We won’t even get into Depp’s truly ugly divorce from Amber Heard, with its myriad allegations of physical and psychological abuse.
Instead, we’ll focus on the other legal entanglements that should keep Johnny occupied for his remaining years.
It all started when Depp sued his management team for allegedly allowing him to spend himself to the brink of bankruptcy.
(At a certain level of wealth, you’re literally not accountable for anything you do.)
The management group countersued, claiming that Depp is a habitual liar who spends $ 30,000 a month on wine (seriously).
As we’ve seen time and again in 2018, once a rich and powerful person gets called out in a legal setting, people begin to realize that they’re not actually invincible/
And – taking a cue from his management team – Depp’s security guards are getting in on the act and suing the actor for the astonishing sum of $ 25 million.
Does their case have any merit?
That remains to be seen – but in the meantime, the disgruntled guards are doing a number on Depp’s already battered reputation with some shocking tales of misbehavior.
The bodyguards claim they were initially paid by a private security firm, but when Depp fell on hard times, they agreed to a deal where he would pay them directly – and they were immediately punished for their loyalty.
“Depp began making sudden and drastic changes to his staff and management team, causing a significant financial crunch for everyone surrounding Depp, except for Depp himself,” read court documents obtained by Page Six.
“Plaintiffs were loyal to Depp and his family and understanding of the financial hurricane Depp was in.”
The papers go on to allege:
“Plaintiffs found themselves in situations that required more than what a bodyguard would be expected to do.”
And what were they asked to do?
Basically act as Depp’s personal chauffeurs/babysitters/drug mules/personal assistants.
Lawyers claim the guards “were asked repeatedly to drive vehicles that contained illegal substances” and “open containers” and “were asked to monitor unstable individuals in [Depp’s] life and entourage.”
Their duties were eventually expanded to include serving as the “primary caretakers” of Depp’s children, and occasionally removing the cocaine from his immaculately-manicured mustache.
“Often times Plaintiffs were forced to protect [Depp] from himself and his vices while in public, becoming caretakers for him,” the suit claims.
“A[n] incident at a local nightclub involved Plaintiffs alerting Depp of illegal substances visible on his face and person while preventing onlookers from noticing Depp’s condition.”
The guards go on to claim that Depp created a “toxic and unsafe work environment” that eventually forced them to quit.
As evidence, they cite an incident in which the actor’s head of security shot himself in the leg “while playing with his weapon in a small control room on Johnny Depp’s property.”
Hey, if “playing” with guns while coked out of your guard makes us toxic and unsafe, we don’t want to be whatever the opposite of toxic and unsafe is!
Anyway, you can stop researching that Fear and Loathing role any time now, Johnny.

Johnny Valiant, WWE Hall of Famer, Dies in Truck Accident
Johnny Valiant, a former WWE Superstar who was elected to this company’s Hall of Fame in 1996, died on Wednesday morning after getting hit by a truck.
He was 71 years old.
According to various reports, the fatal incident occurred in Ross Township, Pennsylvania.
The wrestler, whose real name was Thomas Sullivan, was killed as he tried to run across a busy road and was hit by an oncoming vehicle.
“We do have witnesses,” Ross Township Detective Brian Kohlhepp told WPXI, adding:
“There was other traffic on McKnight [Road] at the time, so we were able to speak with people who actually witnessed the accident.”
Kohlhepp added that police were still investigating what transpired, but said there was “no indication that this was anything other than a terrible accident at this point.”
He was transported to a hospital after getting hit (around 5 a.m.) and passed away shortly afterward from injuries he sustained.
Valiant started his wrestling career in 1969.
Five years later, he won the World Tag Team Championships with James Fanning, the duo combining to be known as The Valiant Brothers.
In 1979, the grappler became wrestling partners with “Gentleman” Jerry Valiant, a Canadian whose real name was John Hill, going on once again to win the World Tag Team Championship.
The tandem was managed at the time by Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano.
In the early 1980s, Valiant himself became a manager, initially working alongside legend Hulk Hogan.
He went on to manage the “Dream Team” of Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake in 1985 leading them to the World Tag Team Championship and also managed Dino Bravo and Demolition.
As pictured above, Valiant eventually served as color commentator for WWE before returning to the AWA in 1989 as a manager.
In 1996, “Luscious” Johnny and “Handsome” Jimmy were immortalized when then both were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
After his retirement, Valiant even guest-starred on a handful of TV shows, such as Law & Order and The Sopranos; he also hosted a one-man show called An Evening with Johnny Valiant in New York City.
WWE has said it “extends its condolences to Valiant’s family, friends and fans.”
May Johnny Valiant rest in peace.
