Johnny Depp accused of verbally abusing Blow co-star Lola Glaudini on set
Actor Lola Glaudini has alleged that Johnny Depp verbally abused her on the set of the movie Blow.
Glaudini appeared on an episode of the podcast Powerful Truth Angels earlier this year.
Now, one segment of the podcast has re-emerged in which Glaudini recounted an alleged experience from the set of the movie, where the actor claimed that Johnny Depp had berated her after a take.

Glaudini claimed that she had been instructed by the film's director Ted Demme to 'burst out laughing' when Depp said one of his lines.
But she alleges that when they finished the take that Depp allegedly came up to her and began shouting at her about the laughter.
Glaudini also alleged that she had already done several takes for the movie where she had laughed.
She claimed: “[Depp] says his monologue. I hear the cue, and I go haha, I do a big laugh or whatever.
“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*ck do you think you are? Who the f*ck do you think you are? Shut the f*ck up.
"I’m out here, and I’m trying to f*cking say my lines and you’re f*cking pulling focus. You f*cking idiot. Oh, now, oh now it’s not so funny? Now you can shut up? Now you can f*cking shut the f*ck up?
"The quiet that you are right now, that’s how you f*cking stay'.”
She also claimed that she felt treated 'like a pariah' after the alleged incident, saying: "No one wanted to talk to me, because I am the b*tch who he railed at.”
Glaudini further claimed that Depp had later offered her a 'non-apology apology' after the incident, saying that the Pirates of the Caribbean star allegedly told her: "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?’”
"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'." she said.
"Because I was like… my dad said, ‘Don’t let them see you sweat.’ So that was that.”
The actor also claimed that Demme 'didn't come over and apologize', which made her feel like she had been 'totally hung out to dry'.
Depp's representatives have since responded to Glaudini's claims, telling Variety: "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.”
Depp's representatives also pointed to a statement by Samuel Sarkar, who was credited as a sound engineer on Blow.
In a statement to Variety, Sarkar said: “As a sound person, you’re constantly listening to what is going on on set, listening for noises, listening for chatter.
"In fact, specifically, I would listen to Johnny’s audio to check for interference, both during rehearsals and during the take. I never heard anything like that – and that would have been a remarkable event.”
UNILAD has reached out to representatives of Johnny Depp and Lola Glaudini for further comment.
