Johnny Depp is addressing actress Lola Glaudini’s recent claim that he was verbally abusive to her on the set of the 2001 crime-thriller “Blow,” offering a partial denial of her accusations.
A representative for the 60-year-old actor told Deadline that “Johnny always prioritizes good working relationships with cast and crew,” and that Glaudini’s “recounting differs greatly from the recollection of other members on set at the time.”
The rep even referenced Sam Sarkar, a sound tech from “Blow,” who backed up Depp’s side of the story, allegedly denying what Glaudini has alleged.
The statement comes roughly a week after Glaudini’s comments resurfaced from a January episode of the “Powerful Truth Angels” podcast, on which she accused Depp of cursing her out on set.
“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 f–k do you think you are? Who the f–k do you think you are? Shut the f–k up,” claimed Glaudini, 52.
Depp allegedly kept going, hurling more f-bombs and calling her an “idiot,” before concluding, “The quiet that you are right now, that’s how you f–king stay.”
The actor’s alleged tantrum came after director Ted Demme had instructed Glaudini to laugh at one of his lines, she explained, but someone had reportedly forgotten to tell the former “Pirates of the Caribbean” star of that direction.
Glaudini said she tried her best to hold back tears and that Depp offered “a non-apology apology” later that day.
She added that Demme, who died a year after the film was released, never apologized to her, noting she felt “totally hung out to dry.”
