Johnny Depp is being sued by two of his former bodyguards who claim he overworked and underpaid them over an 'intolerable' two year period when they say they had to act as his babysitter.
Eugene Arreola and Miguel Sanchez filed a lawsuit against the actor in California on Tuesday, accordingto the Daily Mail.
They allege that between April 2016 and January 2018, they were not paid overtime and were deprived food and rest breaks while looking after Depp and his family.
The lawsuit contains explosive allegations including the claim that they once had to wipe drugs from Depp's face in a nightclub to stop others around him seeing the substance.
The men say that not only did they have to watch as Depp "spiralled" into a "financial hurricane", they also had to act as babysitters for his children.

One claims that one of his major responsibilities was ensuring that one of the children (he did not say which) was looked after properly because they lived in an outhouse on Depp's Los Angeles compound.
They are asking for unspecified damages and compensation to make up for the money they say they are owed.
Depp's representatives did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com on Tuesday afternoon.
