FROM THE PEOPLE:Johnny Depp Hits Back over Claims He Squandered His Money, Alleges 'Smear' Campaign
Johnny Depp is firing back at his former business managers, claiming their last line of defense is to discredit with him a smear campaign
The actor’s lawyer Adam Waldman told PEOPLE on Monday that Depp’s former management company has “since shown that they have no viable defense other than to follow through on their stated plan to attempt to smear Mr. Depp.”
In a complaint filed Monday, and obtained by PEOPLE, Depp’s legal team also alleged to “have uncovered additional evidence of illegal conduct by TMG around bank loans.” According to the court documents, Depp’s lawyers claim that his former business manager at TMG “snuck self-serving provisions into a bank loan agreement in a scheme to grab millions of dollars in payments for himself and other advisors on Mr. Depp’s film residuals.”
Finally, Depp’s lawyer told PEOPLE, “Today we have shown definitively that TMG systematically failed to pay Mr. Depp’s taxes on time for 16 straight years, leading to at least $8.3 million in penalties for Mr. Depp according to the IRS and the law firm that TMG itself hired.”
