It's been almost two years since the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial monopolized the news. To recap, the actor had sued his ex-wife for defamation after she publicly accused him of domestic violence, which caused her to counter-sue. The trial was televised, which caused the public to have divided opinions about it. Ultimately, Johnny Depp won his defamation suit and the verdict marked the beginning of his comeback to Hollywood after years of being blacklisted due to the allegations.
Now, however, he's facing new accusations, this time by one of his former co-stars. The situation Lola Glaudini relays happened over 20 years ago, but it's clearly a very difficult subject for her to talk about, which she even says affected her career.
Lola Glaudini Says She Was Violently Berated By Johnny Depp
Lola Glaudini recently opened up about an upsetting experience she had with one of the most famous actors in the world. It happened on the set of the movie Blow, where he worked with Johnny Depp back in 2001, and she remembers to this day.
Apparently, while they were filming, she "burst out laughing" during Johnny Depp's monologue, and the actor reacted really violently. The reaction would have been out of order in any case, but what made it especially upsetting was that the director told her to laugh at that precise moment, so she was basically just doing her job.
"[Johnny Depp] says his monologue. I hear the cue, and I go haha, I do a big laugh or whatever," the actress explained. "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**k do you think you are? Who the f**k do you think you are? Shut the f**k 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 f**k up? The quiet that you are right now, that’s how you f***ing stay'."
Johnny Depp's Team Denied The Allegations Immediately
Johnny Depp didn't waste any time before responding to Lola Glaudini's allegations, with his team readily denying he ever spoke that way to her. "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 said.
It wouldn't be the first time the actor has been accused of violent behavior, as became evident in the 2022 highly publicized trial where he faced his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, who accused him of domestic violence. It's also not the first time he was accused of erratic behavior on set.
Lola Glaudini shared how things changed for her on set after that alleged altercation. "When we wrapped, I was like a pariah. No one wanted to talk to me, because I am the b*tch who he railed at," she explained, saying that not even the director came to check on her after the actor reportedly berated her.
She also says that Johnny Depp approached her with a "non-apology apology", saying "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 f***ing with me. So I’m a little tense and stuff. So I just wanted to make sure we’re cool and everything?"
She says she acted like she didn't care so he couldn't see that it affected her, but if she's talking about it over 20 years later, it was clearly a traumatic experience.
