Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterJohnny Depp’s longtime agent testified Thursday that his star power declined over the course of years due to his erratic behavior, and that at one point he asked his agency to give him $20 million because he needed money.Tracey Jacobs, a top agent at United Talent Agency, represented Depp for 30 years until he fired her — and his his longtime lawyer and management firm — in 2016.
Jacobs appeared by video deposition on the 19th day of Depp’s defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, whom he accuses of destroying his career with false allegations of domestic violence.Jacobs testified that over the last 10 years of her representation of him, Depp would habitually show up late to set.
