Johnny Depp is being sued by a location manager who worked on the Hollywood star's upcoming movie City of Lies for allegedly punching him during the film's production. Gregg "Rocky" Brooks alleges Depp "forcefully punched" him twice in the lower left side of his rib cage after the actor was told the production had to be halted for the day, as per the copy of the lawsuit, obtained by CNN.

The alleged incident occurred in last April 2017 when the movie was being filmed inside and around the Barclay Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. As per the lawsuit, Depp continued to scream and berate Brooks until the actor's bodyguards removed him from the scene. Brooks alleges that Depp's "breath reeked of alcohol" and he says he believes the actor had been drinking and doing drugs on set.
