Johnny Depps $2-million-a-month spending habit which included a Berlusconi-esque $30,000 a month for wine needs to be sidelined in his ex-mangers ongoing legal battle against him, a judge said Monday. <\/p>\n
In response to Depps own $25 million suit against The Management Group which accuses the firm of defrauding him out of tens of millions of dollars owners Joel and Robert Mandel had fired back with an explosive $4.2 million countersuit claiming the star blew his wealth on fancy wine, 14 homes, private islands, and most notably, blasting Hunter S. Thompsons ashes out of a cannon. <\/p>\n
But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Teresa Beaudet said Monday that the allegations about Depps cartoonish expense reports are not relevant to the management companys cross complaint. <\/p>\n
These allegations, however, could still arise in the future as part of The Management Groups defense of Depps lawsuit. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the judge did allow the groups counterclaim of promissory fraud to continue. <\/p>\n
TMG alleged that Cross-Defendants never intended to abide by their promises and TMG reasonably relied on the alleged false promises by doing the 386 hours of work during those last two weeks of March, Beaudet wrote in her ruliing. <\/p>\n
