Description:
DECLARATION OF EMMA DANOFE
I, EMMA DANOFF. declare as fellows:
1. 1 am an individual over the age of 18, and am a resident of the City of... State of California. I have first-hand personal knowledge of the matters set forth heroin and if called upon as a witness, would and could competently testify thereto.
2. I worked on the film City of Lies then titled LAbyrinth. My job title was "Script Supervisor." My function as script supervisor includes photographing and monitoring every detail of on-set filming, closely following every detail for verbal and visual consistency and continuity.
3. At 7:00 p.m. on April 12, 2017, 1 photographed John C. Depp, II ("Mr. Depp") meeting with homeless individuals who were on the street where the City of Lies filming was taking place. The photograph shows Mr. Depp speaking with a small group of homeless individuals. He gave them money and gifts.
4. We moved outside and were to begin filming our exterior scene at 10:55 p.m. At precisely 11:08 p.m. on the evening of April 12 (per the time clock on the photograph), Mr. Depp was sitting a few inches away from me on a bench looking together at the monitor. His breath did not smell of alcohol and he was net inebriated or under any influence that I could observe or had observed during a long day of work. Mr. Depp had already been working all day on the film. This was a special day on the set, as Christopher Wallace AKA Biggie Small's mother, Violetta Wallace, and Russell Poole's widow and family were visiting the set to watch filming.
5. At that moment, the film's location scout Rocky Brooks encountered an African-American homeless woman about 25 feet from where I was sitting with Mr. Depp. Mr. Brooks loudly and aggressively berated the woman with racial and derogatory slurs for being in his presence and in his way and he was pissed she was unable to follow his commands. I heard most of Mr. Brooks' unkind words to her.
6. Mr. Depp also heard it. He immediately stood up from our shared seat on the edge of a planter bench and went over to Brooks to stand up for the woman. Mr. Depp said to Mr. Brooks,
"you can't talk to her like that. You think you she is something less than you? Who do you think you are? How dare you?" Johnny exchanged words with Mr. Brooks in this manner for approximately 20 seconds, as confirmed by my photographs, and then he came and sat back down at 11:09 pm, as confirmed by the time stamped photograph. There were no punches or shoves.
There was no offer of $100,000 to punch Mr. Depp. They were close to each other but Mr. Depp never touched Mr. Brooks. I remained ten feet away from the incident during its short duration.
7. 1 have 40 time stamped photographs of the entire incident.
8. Later, after filming wrapped at 12:31 a.m. April 13, 2017 inside the Barclay Hotel (per a time stamped photograph), I was in the hallway doing post-shoot paperwork. Mr. Depp went up to and Mr. Brooks appeared about 5 feet from me and hugged. Mr. Depp said "no hard feelings" after Mr. Brooks said what he said was "in the heat of the moment." Then they both departed.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America and the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.
