Meanwhile, Depp was earlier urged to terminate the actors after they accused him of “fearing for his safety” while claiming that the assault was in self-defense and defence of others.

According to Brooks’ court docs, Depp’s actions “were intentional and malicious, and done for the purpose of causing plaintiff to suffer humiliation.”

And he claimed Depp’s “intoxication and temper created a hostile, abusive and unsafe work environment,”

which eventually resulted in him being assaulted by Depp during the filming of the crime thriller when he tried to enforce a permit restriction during a late night of filming.
