Tracey Jacobs, Johnny Depp’s former agent, accused the Pirates of the Caribbean actor of romanticising drugs and arriving late to film sets during the continuing defamation trial on Thursday.
Jacobs, who previously worked with Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, and others, claimed in court that Depp’s unprofessional behaviour caused the film business to be “reluctant to hire him.”
According to Jacobs, the celebrity would “come up late to projects.”
“Initially crews loved him because he was always so great with the crew but crews don’t love sitting around for hours and hours for the star to show up,” Jacobs told the court.
“People talked – and it made people reluctant to use him.”
Jacobs also accused Depp had “fundamental issues with anger” that “worsened over time”, and the actor lacked “patience when he didn’t get his needs met”.
The talent agent also admitted witnessing Depp using an earpiece to help deliver lines on sets which became a “regular thing.”
