8 h 15 m, 18 abr 2019 ano - HOLLYWOOD REPORTER Johnny Depp's Lawyer Battle Drags in Elon Musk & Kevin Tsujihara as it is alleged that he tried to get Amber Heard fired from Aquaman film

Descrição:

The war between Johnny Depp and his ex-lawyer is sending shrapnel toward a who’s-who of Hollywood power players.

Several top attorneys and executives were served deposition notices on Wednesday in connection with a lawsuit filed by Depp against Jake Bloom, who represented the superstar actor for decades before the relationship soured in 2017. The group of potential witnesses in the case includes everyone from former Warner Bros. chairman Kevin Tsujihara to billionaire Elon Musk to power litigator Marty Singer to Depp’s ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.

Sources familiar with the deposition requests say Tsujihara will be asked to testify under oath about whether or not he played a role in “blacklisting” Heard at Warner Bros. Depp, a star in the studio’s Fantastic Beasts franchise (he plays Grindelwald), is alleged to have personally lobbied Tsujihara to remove the actress from Aquaman and block her from getting other projects. (Heard ultimately did co-star in Aquaman, which was released in December.)

Tsujihara and the others are being asked to provide testimony by Bloom’s legal team, which is fighting a suit filed by Depp claiming, among other things, that Bloom gave the actor bad advice with regards to his split with Heard. Deposition notices also went out to lawyers including Singer and litigator Patty Glaser, as well as divorce specialist Laura Wasser and criminal attorney Blair Berk — all of whom have worked with the actor in the past — as well as Depp and Depp’s former bodyguards. Also being served are Heard, her divorce lawyer Samantha Spector, Heard’s former boyfriend Musk, her sister Whitney and the couple’s former neighbors.

The reason why so many of Depp’s long-term lawyers and advisors are being asked to give testimony in the suit is that Bloom, who is being represented by Bryan Freedman, isn’t the only attorney who advised Depp to settle with Heard rather than face a protracted legal battle. But Bloom is the only one being sued by the actor, who is currently repped by Adam Waldman.
