Johnny Depp's agent testified that his ex-wife's 2018 op-ed piece in The Washington Post describing herself as a victim of domestic abuse was 'catastrophic' to his career.
FALLS CHURCH, Va. -- Johnny Depp's agent testified Monday that his ex-wife's 2018 op-ed piece in The Washington Post describing herself as a victim of domestic abuse was"catastrophic" to his career and coincided with the loss of a $23 million deal for a"Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel.
In testimony Monday, agent Jack Whigham said Depp was still able to work after the initial allegations made against him in 2016. He was paid $8 million for"City Of Lies," $10 million for"Murder on the Orient Express" and $13.5 million for"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald," all of which shot in 2017, albeit under contracts reached prior to the allegations made against him.
By early 2019 - weeks after Heard's op-ed - Whigham said it was clear that Depp's role in any"Pirates" film was scuttled and that producers were instead looking to move ahead with Margot Robbie in a lead role.
