Johnny Depp’s legal battle with his former financial advisors, The Management Group, is far from over and just took a bad turn for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star.

The Management Group filed an “action for judicial foreclosure” against Depp on Monday to force a sale of five of the actor’s homes in Los Angeles to repay a $5 million loan from TMG, Deadline Hollywood reports.

Depp’s legal battle against his former management team began about a year ago when the “Murder On The Orient Express” actor filed a $25 million fraud suit against TMG for mismanaging his finances. Over the back and forth between the two parties it’s become clear that Depp was largely responsible for his own financial ruin and repeatedly refused to give up his lavish lifestyle and assets to compensate for it.

The move to file for foreclosure by TMG on Monday is an attempt to get reimbursed by the actor for a $5 million loan they gave him in 2012. (RELATED: How In The Hell Did Johnny Depp Blow Through $650 Million)

“TMG agreed to come to the aid of its long-time client,” the complaint says referencing a loan from City National Bank to Depp, for which TMG got a “pass-through” on behalf of the actor. “The idea behind this arrangement, which was designed to save Depp from a public and devastating financial collapse, was that Depp would pay TMG what TMG was required to pay CNB under the loan.”

The complaint notes that Depp, his sister and his personal manager were grateful to TMG for helping him at the time and paid back part of the loan, but he still owes “well over $4.4. million” to the financial group.

“Although Depp is refusing to pay his debts, he does not and cannot dispute that he received the full benefits of the TMG/Depp note by avoiding a public calamity in 2012,” the court filing says. “However, in Depp’s self-centered world, ‘no good deed goes unpunished.'”

Depp has not yet responded to the most recent claim from TMG, but surely he’s hoping the “Murder on the Orient Express” helps him out of the financial crisis he’s facing. The upcoming movie is poised to be a hit at the box office with Penelope Cruz, Willem Defoe, Josh Gad and Michelle Pfeiffer co-starring alongside Depp.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
