Johnny Depp denies claims of verbal abuse on costar Lola Glaudini
A representative for American actor Johnny Depp has denied actress Lola Glaudini’s allegations that Depp berated her on the set of the 2001 film Blow.
The rep told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, that “Johnny always prioritises good working relationships with cast and crew, and this recounting differs greatly from the recollection of other members on set at the time.”
This comes after a video of Lola Glaudini’s interview on The Powerful Truth Angels podcast from January 30, 2024 surfaced. In the interview, she described an incident during the shoot in which she claims Depp verbally abused her after the director yelled “cut.”
She claimed that when Depp said a specific line during his monologue, director Ted Demme, who died in 2002, told her to “burst out laughing,” which she did. After that, she claimed he approached her and cursed her out.
Glaudini narrated:
“Johnny Depp, when they say cut, walks over to me, comes up to me, sticks his finger in my face, and I’m in a bikini on the ground like this and he comes over and he goes, ‘Who the fk do you think you are? Who the fk do you think you are? Shut the fk up. I’m out here, and I’m trying to fking say my lines and you’re fking pulling focus. You fking idiot. Who the fuck do you think… Oh, now, oh now it’s not so funny? Now you can shut up? Now you can fuing shut the fk up? Oh, it’s not funny now? The quiet that you are right now, that’s how you f**kg stay.’”
She added that nobody spoke to her after that and she tried her best not to cry as it was her first movie.
The actress added, “This was my first studio movie, I’ve just done indies until then,” the actress said. “And I have the star who I have idolised, who I am so excited to work with, reamed me in my face. The only thing going through my head was, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.’”
Glaudini also said that later that day, the actor called her to his trailer and issued what she said was a “non-apology apology.”
