Johnny Depp’s ex-business managers have made public emails that supposedly prove their case against the actor, who claims the firm cost him nearly $8 million in unnecessary tax penalties and feels, loaned without permission $10 million of his money, secured $12.5 million hard money loan with his residuals and failed to repay itself for a $5 million bridge loan.

Joel Mandel of The Management Group countersued, saying Johnny was well aware of the situation. Now, Johnny’s legal team has filed a motion to quash subpoenas regarding his finances, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

“[E]ach member of the team had numerous individual communications with Depp and each other, which, taken together, will overwhelmingly establish that Depp was always fully informed regarding his financial problems, and of course, always knew that he was borrowing money to afford his extravagant lifestyle,” attorney Suann MacIsaac wrote in a court filing.

“In an attached email, Dembrowski even describes herself as Depp’s ‘one stop informational center,’ while instructing a TMG employee that all documents sent to Depp for signature must go through her,” the attorney continued.

In addition to that email, TMG’s filing includes several others it says prove the actor was in the loop through his sister, THR reports.
