Johnny Depp Responds After ‘Blow’ Co-Star Lola Glaudini Accuses Actor Of Verbal Abuse

After an episode of the podcast Powerful Truth Angels from Jan. 30 resurfaced, in which Lola Glaudini recounted being mistreated by Johnny Depp on the film set of Blow, the actor has broken his silence.

“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 rep for Depp said in a statement to Deadline.

The actress said that while filming a scene for the 2001 film Blow, director Ted Demme told Glaudini to “burst out laughing” while Depp delivered a monologue.

“I hear the cue, and I go haha, I do a big laugh or whatever,” Glaudini said. “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 f*** do you think you are? Who the f*** do you think you are? Shut the f*** up. I’m out here, and I’m trying to f***ing say my lines and you’re f***ing pulling focus. You f***ing idiot. Oh, now, oh now it’s not so funny? Now you can shut up? Now you can f***ing shut the fuck up? The quiet that you are right now, that’s how you f***ing stay.’”

Glaudini said this happened on her first day on the set and had not met Depp before adding, “This was my first studio movie, I’ve just done indies until then. And I have the star who I have idolized, who I am so excited to work with, reamed me in my face. The only thinf going through my head was, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.'”

The actress recalled that Depp approached her later and gave her “a non-apology apology,” saying, “He said, ‘You know, so earlier I was really in my head and staying in my character, I’m doing this Boston accent, and it’s really fucking with me. So I’m a little tense and stuff. So I just wanted to make sure we’re cool and everything?’”

She continued, “I just looked at him, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about? Of course, what are you talking about? Totally cool.’ Because I was like… my dad said, ‘Don’t let them see you sweat.’ So that was that.”

Glaudini also noted that Demme, who died in 2002, didn’t apologize to her after the incident saying “he didn’t come over and say anything,” making her feel she was “totally hung out to dry.”

“When we wrapped, I was like a pariah,” she added. “No one wanted to talk to me, because I am the bitch who he railed at.”
