Amidst resurfaced claims of mistreatment on the set of the 2001 film Blow, actor Johnny Depp has finally responded to allegations made by his co-star Lola Glaudini.
In a recent statement to Deadline, Depp’s representative emphasized the actor’s commitment to fostering positive working relationships, asserting that Glaudini’s recollection starkly contrasts with others present on set during filming.
Glaudini recounted an incident during the podcast, Powerful Truth Angels, where she described Depp’s behavior towards her while filming a scene directed by Ted Demme. According to her, Depp aggressively confronted her, accusing her of pulling focus during his monologue and berating her with profanity.
This encounter left Glaudini feeling stunned and intimidated, particularly as it occurred on her first day on a major studio production. Despite Depp’s subsequent attempt at what she described as a “non-apology apology,” Glaudini noted feeling isolated and unsupported by others on set, including Demme, who she says did not intervene or offer any apology.
The fallout from the incident left Glaudini feeling ostracized, reflecting on the challenges of standing up to such behavior in a high-pressure environment.
Depp’s response comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over his conduct both on and off-screen, in the wake of the infamous trial Depp-Heard trial.
