Johnny Depp Accused Of Verbally Abusing 'Blow' Co-Star Lola Glaudini

An actor who worked with Johnny Depp  on Blow said he berated her while on the set of the 2001 film.

Lola Glaudini recently claimed on the Powerful Truth Angels podcast in January that director Ted Demme  instructed her to burst out laughing in a scene where Depp gives a monologue. Unbeknownst to her, Demme never warned Depp about it.

Johnny Depp, when they say cut, walks over to me, comes up to me, sticks his finger in my face ... and he goes, Who the fuck do you think you are? Who the fuck do you think you are? Shut the fuck up, Glaudini said.

Im out here, and Im trying to fucking say my lines and youre fucking pulling focus. You fucking idiot, Glaudini claimed Depp told her. Oh now its not so funny? Now you can fucking shut the fuck up? The quiet that you are right now, thats how you fucking stay.

Glaudini starred in the acclaimed crime drama as one of the young hippies helping Depp, who portrayed real-life cocaine distributor George Jung , build his empire. She said on the podcast that this was her first day on set, and the first time she met Depp.

This was my first studio movie, Ive just done indies until then, she told host Alex 2Tone Erdmann. And I have the star who I have idolized, who I am excited to work with, reamed me in my face. The only thing going through my head was, Dont cry.

Glaudini recalled telling her father about the fucked up incident and taking his advice not to complain. She said Depp eventually apologized and said: I was really in my head and staying in my character, Im doing this Boston accent, and its really fucking with me.

Im a little tense and stuff, he allegedly added. So I just wanted to make sure were cool.

Glaudini, who said the moment came flooding back after watching Depps defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard , recalled feigning ignorance. While she told Depp they were totally cool, she was allegedly treated like a pariah and the bitch who he railed at.

Johnny always prioritizes good working relationships with cast and crew and this recounting differs greatly from the recollection of other members on set at the time, a representative for Depp told Variety in a statement Tuesday after the podcast resurfaced.

Samuel Sarkar, who according to Variety worked as a sound technician on Blow and has worked with Depp as recently as 2020s Minamata, told the outlet hes constantly listening to Depps microphone on set and never heard anything like Glaudinis remarkable version of events.

Glaudini said that the memory was triggered by a specific recognition, however.

I was watching the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial, and this is what caught my eye, she told Erdmann. She was relaying something that he said and she quoted him saying, And then, he said to me, Oh, oh youre quiet now, huh? Oh.

And I was like, Oh my god thats exactly what he said to me in that moment.
