Johnny makes a deal to settle ‘City of Lies’ assault lawsuit

The suit will reopen if Depp does not follow through with the terms of the settlement

Johnny Depp will not be going to court again. Following his massive win against ex-wife Amber Heard in their 50 million dollars defamation lawsuit, the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star was reeled into another lawsuit with location manager Greg ‘Rocky’ Brooks on his 2018 film ‘City of Lies’, who accused Depp of assault. But recent information suggested that a motion to settle the lawsuit has been set up.

On July 11, a notice of settlement was filed with the court. The deal requires Depp to fulfil unspecified terms of settlement under a set period. In this case, it places Depp on a clock till the end of August. The filing paper reads, “The settlement agreement conditions dismissal of this matter on the satisfactory completion of specified terms that are not to be performed within 45 days of the date of the settlement. A request for dismissal will be filed no later than 1/5/2023,” per ‘The Hollywood Reporter’. The suit will reopen if Depp does not follow through with the terms of the settlement while the trial for the case was set to start later in July.

Johnny has another lawsuit to take care of. On July 8, Amber Heard filed new legal documents through her legal team. The ‘Aquaman’ starlet’s side alleged that a wrong person served on the jury duty in the Johnny Depp defamation case. Following the Heard team’s filing, Depp’s team responded by asking the court to strike their ‘frivolous’ accusations.
