Los Angeles: Hollywood star Johnny Depp's two former bodyguards are taking him to court for unpaid wages and for forcing them to work in dangerous conditions. Eugene Arreola, a retired police detective, and Miguel Sanchez first started protecting Depp, 54, in 2013 when they were employed by a security corporation, according to a complaint they filed here recently, reports people.com.
They have claimed the dangerous conditions included exposure to "illegal substances" and loaded weapons and that they were made to work as de facto babysitters for Depp's minor child and were also "forced to protect (Depp) from himself".
In 2016, the duo say they were hired as part of Depp's personal in-house security team. Around that time, they "began to notice a stark change in Depp and the atmosphere on his Hollywood Hills compound", according to the complaint.
"Depp began making sudden and drastic changes to his staff and management team, causing a significant financial crunch for everyone surrounding Depp, except for Depp himself,"
the complaint read.
