Johnny Depp Fights to Keep Medical Records Private in $30 Million Legal Battle With Ex-Lawyers

Johnny Depp is demanding a judge step in and not allow his private medical records to be turned over in the $30 million legal battle with his former lawyers, saying the records contain “highly sensitive” information about him.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Depp filed a motion to quash a subpoena that his former lawyers fired off seeking documents from his former business managers at The Management Group (TMG).

Depp’s ex-lawyers subpoenaed records from TMG that were obtained during their years of working with the actor and during their year-long legal battle with him.

The actor says the subpoena is seeking production of over 1.5 million documents from TMG, which contain “highly sensitive, confidential information (including medical and private financial information of Mr. Depp and third parties).”

Depp explains if all the documents are turned over, it would “severely damage” his privacy interests and that of “multiple other individuals who are not parties to this action.”

He says during the lawsuit with TMG, they questioned him about his medical history, financial history, alleged substance abuse, and alleged mental disorders during a period of almost two decades.

Depp says they obtained a large amount of personal information that was “not properly at issue” and enormous quantities of personal communications and other documents reflecting intimate details of his life and other people’s lives.

Depp is demanding the judge quash the subpoena completely and not allow TMG to turn over any records to his ex-lawyers.
