Johnny Depp’s legal battles are continuing, and the latest financial disclosure from his management lawsuit has an unexpected Kardashian connection.
After a judge ruled that the actor‘s general spending has “no relevance” in the lawsuit filed by his former managers, The Management Group, the complainants have had to restructure their claims.

There are now focusing on Depp’s credit card charges, which they say are fair game because they’ve been stuck with the bill for them. According to THR, one of those charges was for a couch used on the E! reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The filings say Depp paid $7,000 for the piece of furniture, and it was a birthday gift for his daughter Lily-Rose Depp, 18.

There was also a $17,000 for Prada handbags and luggage and $500,000 in rental fees for storage space used to house Depp’s collection of Hollywood memorabilia. In addition, there was close to a $1 million in expenses from Depp’s private island estate.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star allegedly stopped paying off the credit card when he left TMG, leaving them with the bill.
“After terminating TMG in mid-March 2016, Depp continued to make the minimum payments on the CNB Visa card for a time but then refused to pay anything further, forcing TMG to pay off the approximately $55,000 that was still owing on the CNB Visa card,” attorney Michael Kump wrote in the filing. “All charges on the CNB Visa card are undisputedly charges that were incurred on Depp’s behalf similar to, and/or including, the exemplar purchases discussed above. Depp knows all of these expenses were incurred by and/or on his behalf, but simply refuses to pay his debts.”
The entire dispute started when Depp sued TMG for fraud, but they say they’re still owed a cut of his earnings.
Depp says TMG paid itself $28 million without an agreement, loaned $10 million to other parties without authorization and failed to file his taxes on time, which resulted in $5.6 million in penalties.
TMG alleges they are owed five percent of Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean earnings for the work done to transition to Depp’s new managers.
