The trial that was set to begin July 25 on claims Johnny Depp struck a location manger in the rib cage and said, “I will give you $100,000 to punch me in the face right now' on the set of a film in 2017.
According to Brooks’ 2018 complaint, Depp exploded in anger on April 13, 2017 when Brooks told him he only had time for one more take on a scene that he was directing because the two permit extensions Brooks obtained to extend shooting late into the night were about to expire.
“Who the fuck are you? You have no right to tell me what to do,” Depp allegedly yelled at Brooks. “I don’t give a fuck who you are, and you can’t tell me what to do!” Depp “forcefully” struck Brooks twice in his left lower rib cage while his breath reeked of alcohol, the lawsuit alleged. When Brooks refused to fight back, Depp allegedly screamed, “I will give you $100,000 to punch me in the face right now,” the complaint said., which co-starred Forest Whitaker, is a 2018 thriller based on the unsolved murders of rap stars Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. Depp portrayed former LAPD detective Russell Poole.
One of Depp’s lawyers listed on the dismissal notice is Camille Marilia Vasquez, who gained notoriety for cross-examining Heard in the Virginia trial.
