Johnny Depp is accused of swearing and berating his co-star Lola Glaudini on the set of the 2001 film.

Lola, 52, who had the small supporting role of Rada in the film, shared her unpleasant experience working with the actor 20 years after shooting the film.

The actress claimed the Donnie Brasco star, 60, called her a “f*****g idiot” and told her to “shut up” while speaking about the alleged incident in a recently surfaced clip from the Powerful truth angels podcast.

According to Lola, the problems started after director Ted Demme told her to “burst out laughing” after one of Johnny’s lines, but the actor was not happy with the gesture.

However, a representative for Depp denied the claims and told Variety the actor “always prioritizes good working relationships with cast and crew and this story differs greatly from the recollection of other members on set at the time.”

Depp’s career has been plagued by controversy in recent years, following his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard after she claimed she was a victim of domestic abuse during their 15-month marriage.

Lola claimed that after she laughed, Depp went on a tirade, swearing at her while sticking “his finger in my face.”

‘[Depp] says his monologue. I hear the signal, and I go haha, I laugh out loud or whatever. Johnny Depp, when they say cut, walks up to me, comes up to me, sticks his finger in my face and says, ‘Who the fuck do you think you are? Is that you? Shut your mouth.”‘

“I’m here, and I’m trying to say my lines, and you’re drawing all the damn attention. You fucking idiot,” she remembered him saying that to her.

“Oh, well, oh now it’s not so funny? Now can you shut up? Now can you shut the fuck up? The silence you have now, that’s how you fucking stay.”

Lola went on to say, “The first day on set I never met him. This was my first studio film, until then I had only done indie films.’

“And I have the star that I have idolized, that I so desperately want to work with, punched me in the face. The only thing going through my head was, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Lola went on to say that Johnny later gave her a “non-apology,” but she acted like nothing happened.

‘[Johnny] said, “You know, so before I was really in my head and staying in character, I’m doing this Boston accent, and it’s really fucking with me. So I’m kind of uptight and stuff” So I just wanted to making sure we’re cool and all that?’

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

She also stated that the director “didn’t come over and say anything” when she was allegedly berated by Depp, and “when we wrapped up, I was like a pariah.” No one wanted to talk to me because I’m the asshole he was railing against.”

Meanwhile, Depp’s rep disputed the story by citing Blow’s sound engineer Samuel Sarkar, who also worked with the actor on films such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Chocolat, and co-produced Depp’s film Minamata.

Sarkar told Variety in a statement, “As a healthy person, you are constantly listening to what is happening on set, listening to sounds, listening to chatter. In fact, I listened to Johnny’s audio specifically to check for interference, both during rehearsals and during recording. I’ve never heard anything like it – and that would have been a remarkable event.’

The biographical crime drama Blow followed Depp, who played American cocaine king George Jung (based on a real-life American drug trafficker of the same name), and his narco network, including Pablo Escobar and Carlos Lehder Rivas, and the Medellín Cartel.

He starred opposite Penelope Cruz, who played his love interest.

His former co-star’s allegations come two years after Depp’s defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, 37, in which details of their tumultuous relationship emerged in court.

Depp won a favorable outcome at trial after his legal team successfully argued that Heard’s op-ed in the Washington Post accusing her ex-husband of domestic violence was defamatory. He was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages.

Heard did not publicly mention Depp in the piece, but given their status and fame, it was clear who she was referring to regarding her history of alleged abuse.

Although Depp won $10 million in damages, the jury also found in Heard’s favor on one of her three counterclaims.

Ultimately, the former couple reached a settlement over the jury awards, and Heard was only forced to pay Depp a total of $1 million, which he would donate to five different charities.

Johnny Depp has struck up a bizarre friendship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after the kingdom's ruling family invested millions in the actor's latest film.

MBS has spent billions under his Vision 2030 plan to turn Saudi Arabia, plagued by allegations of human rights abuses, into a cultural and economic powerhouse by investing in the arts, sports and forging personal ties with stars.

Depp, 60, first met MBS, 38, after filming Jeanne du Barry, in which Saudi Arabia invested millions, in the summer of 2022.

'They made a real connection. It's a shock to many people who know [Depp]but it's what happened to a friend of Depp told Vanity Fair.

Both men have faced a reckoning in recent years in public perception of their carefully crafted images.

Depp was found to have abused his ex-wife Amber Heard domestically when he lost a defamation case in Britain in 2020.

Two years later, a series of disturbing details, including allegations of sexual abuse, were made public after he successfully sued Heard for defamation two years later.

MBS, once a favorite among Western leaders who saw him as a great reformer, irrevocably damaged his image by approving the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Depp emphasizes that Saudi Arabia is undergoing a 'cultural revolution'.

“While I admit I was initially a bit naive about what was happening in the region, I have since experienced firsthand the cultural revolution taking place there,” Depp told Vanity Fair.

The country has “emerging young storytellers who radiate fresh ideas and artwork, a thriving film infrastructure and a renewed curiosity for innovation,” she explained.

Adding, “I had the opportunity to meet people from different parts of the region who were the most hospitable and shared with me their culture, their traditions and their stories.”

MBS has spent hundreds of billions on sports, tourism, the arts and other ventures such as real estate to free the country from its dependence on oil money and become a diversified economic powerhouse.

MBS's Vision 2030 plan has made the entertainment industry, including film production, a key focus as it increases the kingdom's tourism and cultural perception, but also encourages the country's 30 million residents to do their leisure spending domestically .

The Kingdom's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has invested millions in setting up the LIV Golf Tournament, attracting players such as Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia.

The PIF also provided most of the money for a Saudi takeover of Newcastle United football club in 2021, a controversial deal that became a hot potato for the British government.

“We are making up for lost time and ensuring that our country realizes its potential,” an adviser to the Saudi government told Vanity Fair.

Depp previously had contact with another Saudi prince, Abdulaziz bin Fahd, but a member of his entourage was convicted of raping a woman in 2012 at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, where the prince had rented out a block of rooms.

Prince Abdulaziz stopped appearing in public in 2017 after he was detained by MBS along with 300 of Saudi Arabia's richest men on suspicion of corruption.

The prince eventually resurfaced, smiling for a photo with MBS, but has kept a very low profile since.

The sudden disappearance reportedly made Depp wary of meeting any more Saudi royals for the first time.

However, talks were held and in July 2022 he met Prince Badr, the kingdom's Minister of Culture.

A few months later, he flew to Jeddah for the 2022 Red Sea Film Festival and during the trip he met the Crown Prince.

Depp visited again in early 2023 and was invited to MBS' royal camp in the mountains.

The actor also flew several times by helicopter to MBS's yacht, one of the largest in the world.

The two men are now good friends, according to Vanity Fair, and friends of Depp told the publication that he values ​​the friendship and wants nothing in return.

However, Depp's team is in talks with the Saudi government over a seven-figure deal that will allow him to attend events and shoot films in the country, the outlet reported.

Amber Heard’s role as Mera was greatly downplayed in the recently released superhero film Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom.

According to Business insiderthe 37-year-old artist was only on screen for 15 to 20 minutes of the 124-minute film.

The media also reported that the actress, who recently recovered from a serious hip injury, only had a total of eleven lines throughout the entire film.

Many of Mera’s lines are reduced to relatively simple expressions in the feature film, which premiered Friday.

The superheroine was mainly featured in the beginning and end of the film, although she was largely removed from the central plot.

Mera was prominently featured in the first Aquaman film, which was released in December 2018.

According to TMZstated former CEO of Warner Bros. Walter Hamada during a statement in 2022 that Heard’s character was sidelined in the sequel due to a perceived lack of chemistry between her and Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman.

At the time, many suspected that the reasoning behind the decision to reduce Mera’s role in the film was due to the actress’ ongoing lawsuit with her former husband, Johnny Depp.

Although the Justice League actress’ staff considered that possibility, DC Studios executives denied that her legal troubles were the reason behind the reduction in her stake.

The highly publicized lawsuit, which was ultimately settled in the actor’s favor, generated a significant amount of negative attention for the performer, and she has since moved to Spain to stay out of the spotlight.

Heard has not participated in any publicity campaigns for Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, which had its world premiere in Los Angeles last Tuesday.

Made on a budget of just over $200 million, the James Wan-directed feature is currently expected to gross around $40 million in its first weekend of release.

The film has also received mixed to negative reviews from critics and currently has a rating of 36% Rotten tomatoes.

Wan spoke Entertainment weekly and told the media that Heard’s character was never intended to be one of the main characters of the sequel.

“I always pitched this to everyone from the beginning. The first Aquaman was Arthur and Mera’s journey. The second film was always going to be Arthur and Orm,” he said.

The filmmaker subsequently stated that while he was pleased with Heard’s impact on the first feature film, she did not necessarily intend for her character to be prioritized in the sequel.

“The first was a romantic action-adventure film, the second is a bromance action-adventure film. We’ll leave it at that,” he said.

As I write this column, I am the size of a beluga whale. It takes me two whole minutes to get out of bed, I’m wearing stretchy pants that look like they’re from Krusty the Clown, I have heartburn, hip pain and ankle pain. I’m in the eighth month of my pregnancy, but it feels like the 80th.

Maybe this is why I read the news about Paris Hilton’s newest baby with an eye roll. Earlier this year she became the mother of a baby boy named Phoenix, carried and delivered by a surrogate mother. Now she’s closing out 2023 with a second baby, a girl named London, carried and delivered by another unnamed woman.

Congratulations of course to Paris and her husband Carter Reum. I’m sure they will give their babies lots of love. But am I the only one who feels uneasy about the fact that more and more celebrities are turning to surrogacy?

It’s as if using a “gestational carrier” instead of your own uterus is just a parenting decision, like whether to go for a jungle theme in the nursery or just paint it yellow. Isn’t it strange how lightly this radical birth control is reported, how horrified we are at the prospect of one woman’s body being rented out to bear another’s child?

Maybe this is why I read the news about Paris Hilton’s newest baby with an eye roll. Earlier this year she became the mother of a baby boy named Phoenix, carried and delivered by a surrogate mother

Perhaps the most notable example of celebrity surrogate use is Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, who have seven children.  Just months after welcoming their fifth child, they had a sixth via surrogate

Perhaps the most notable example of celebrity surrogate use is Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, who have seven children. Just months after welcoming their fifth child, they had a sixth via surrogate

If surrogacy is the only solution for a woman who physically cannot have a baby, it can be a wonderful thing. Take 50-year-old Martha Lane Fox, who had twins through a surrogate mother in the US seven years ago. In 2004, the British entrepreneur was involved in a car accident that broke 28 bones and shattered her pelvis, leaving her unable to carry a child. How wonderful that she was able to realize her dream of having children.

Since then, a number of celebrities have used surrogates. The list includes Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Amber Heard, Priyanka Chopra, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Rebel Wilson, Elizabeth Banks, Lucy Liu, Ellen Pompeo and Cameron Diaz.

Of course, some of them will have had fertility problems. It doesn’t matter if you have a house in Beverly Hills, trying and failing to have a baby can be devastating. So if they want to have one this way, then all power to them. But – call me cynical – it’s hard to believe that all the celebrities who choose surrogacy have health problems that prevent them from carrying a child. Chrissy Teigen, the wife of singer John Legend, was pregnant with her third child while a surrogate mother carried their fourth child.

Perhaps the most notable example of celebrity surrogate use is Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, who have seven children. Just months after welcoming their fifth child, they had a sixth via surrogate. “This is a beautiful journey with many people working so hard to bring a soul into the world,” says Hilaria.

Helping a woman have a child when she physically cannot do so herself can be wonderfully altruistic. But using another woman’s womb to build your own football team? Disturbing. While most celebrities who go this route cite medical issues, at least one has been honest that convenience was a factor. Actress Lucy Liu said of her decision to use a carrier, “It just seemed like the right option because I was working and I didn’t know when I would be able to stop.”

Now Paris 2023 closes with a second baby, a girl named London, carried and delivered by another unnamed woman

I imagine that the more inconspicuous this arrangement becomes, the more reasons women will find to use a surrogate. Paris Hilton says she had children this way out of fear of childbirth. How long will it take before women decide that not wanting to lose their figure or damage their pelvic floor is reason enough?

The ethics of what might be called “surrogacy of convenience” are troubling. When we look at photos of parents smiling with their precious new baby, it’s easy to forget that somewhere there’s a woman who just gave birth, who has nursing wounds in unnameable places, or is staggering around with a C-section scar—all without the comfort of having a new baby. You might answer that many surrogates do this because they are generous souls who want to help realize a couple’s dream of becoming parents. In some cases this is true. But many will have an overwhelming financial incentive to get through it.

You are not allowed to pay a surrogate in the UK, but you are responsible for covering reasonable costs. Surrogates normally receive between £10,000 and £15,000, according to a report from Surrogacy UK. A typical surrogate in the US, where they can be compensated, is expected to earn £40,000 to £47,000. If you are on a low income and you are offered an astonishing amount of money in exchange for nine months of your life, is that a choice you make freely?

This is my fourth pregnancy and I can now say with some authority that (for me anyway) it sucks.

It’s months of nausea, followed by months of pain, with about two days of “glowing mother-to-be” in the middle. Still, I am very grateful that I was able to experience it. Those long months don’t just change your body; they slow you down, prepare you for the massive change that is coming, make you put someone else first. I really feel sympathy for those women who want to have a baby, but whose bodies don’t allow it. If surrogacy can help, then that’s fine. But let’s not allow it to simply become a shortcut in our convenience-obsessed culture.

Hurrah! Nigella cancels Christmas cake

Finally, someone has broken the taboo by admitting that eating dry old fruitcake is more of a chore than a cheering treat. Everyone knows that the best festive cake is a chocolate yule log.

Next in line for the pork chop: those tubs of sticky dates we all have to buy at Christmas, even though no one has eaten them since 1971.

Omid Scobie’s new royal-bashing book, Endgame, appears to be the final nail in the coffin for the relationship between Prince Harry and King Charles. As someone who lost his father at the age of eight, I can’t help but feel that their ongoing feud is a sad waste of time, much like Meghan’s ongoing estrangement from her own father.

Life is short. Christmas is coming. You only have one father, so call and start picking up the pieces.

Jason Momoa was pictured riding a vintage motorcycle in New York City on Monday, days before he was set to host Saturday Night Live to promote his upcoming film Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

The 44-year-old actor was spotted at the intersection of Bowery and E. 3rd Street outside The Bowery Hotel, turning on his bike to leave.

Aquaman’s leading man wore a black leather motorcycle jacket over a gray top with black boots, a black ballcap and black-rimmed glasses, while wearing a helmet prior to his excursion into the city.

The Honolulu-born star will host the NBC variety show for the second time, as he previously hosted the December 8, 2018 edition of the show and made guest appearances in October 2019 and October 2020.

Momoa prepares to hit the road as he reprises his signature role in the sequel to the 2018 blockbuster.

The latest: Jason Momoa, 44, was pictured riding a vintage motorcycle in New York City on Monday, days before he was set to host Saturday Night Live to promote his upcoming film Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

The actor was seen out of the picture about a month after a report Variety that indicated the Aquaman sequel was beset by drama amid the release of Amber Heard’s therapy documents, which alleged Momoa purposely dressed like Johnny Depp and pushed her to get her fired from the film.

Depp’s fans paid the legal costs for the release of the notes from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes on December 27, 2021 — which were written on a notepad — and were part of the trial last year — and the notes later appeared on Reddit, according to the outlet.

Heard, 37, will return as Mera in the sequel, after claiming in her highly publicized lawsuit with Depp earlier last year that she “fought very hard to stay in the film” but that “they didn’t want to shoot [her] in the movie’ and her scenes were cut.

The notes detailed a supposedly hostile Aquaman 2 set: “Jason said he wanted to fire me. Jason drunk, late on set. Dress up as Johnny. Also has all the rings.’

Representatives for Momoa declined to comment after publication, while a spokesperson for DC Studios said, “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”

A source who was on set in London in 2021 added that the pair got along well on set, adding: ‘Jason works his butt off, likes to have the occasional beer like everyone else, but shows up not drunk on set. And he doesn’t dress like Johnny Depp. He always dressed in that bohemian style.”

Heard’s representatives declined to comment but confirmed in the release that the notes were related to Aquaman 2 and a December 27, 2021 therapy session.

Another source close to the actress claims her lawyers have been fighting the release of the notes – which were “subpoenaed by Depp’s lawyers during discovery.”

The notes also stated that Heard targeted film director James Wan, claiming she was being treated poorly due to her legal battle with Depp.

Discussing Wan in the notes, the actress reportedly said, “He raised his voice @ me – I can’t even post about Aquaman – made it look like it was my fault – I said, ‘I’m sorry.’ When there was a blackout, no one could take selfies with me on set.”

Wan declined to comment to publication, but a DC spokesperson refuted the claims, saying: “James is known for treating members of his cast and crew with the utmost respect and fostering a positive, collaborative environment on set – the Aquaman films were no exception. .’

Sources further claimed in the publication that Heard was almost kicked out of the sequel by Wan and the studio due to a “lack of chemistry” with Momoa — but her ex-boyfriend Elon Musk saved her job.

It was claimed that a letter was sent to her lawyer Karl Austen informing Heard of the decision following Aquaman’s release in 2018 – and that Momoa had played no role in the decision to fire her.

Another source claimed that Heard did a chemistry test with Momoa before landing the role in the first film, beating out actresses including Abbey Lee.

Heard’s ex-boyfriend and Tesla billionaire Musk, 52, reportedly sent one of his trial lawyers a “scorched earth letter” to Warner Bros. threatened to burn the house down’ if Heard was not brought back for the sequel, a source claimed.

Warner Bros. then withdrew and kept Heard on board. Representatives from Warner Bros. and Elon Musk have been contacted for comment by DailyMail.com.

The actor was released about a month after a report revealed that the Aquaman sequel was plagued by drama amid actress Amber Heard's lawsuit against ex Johnny Depp.

The actor was released about a month after a report revealed that the Aquaman sequel was plagued by drama amid actress Amber Heard’s lawsuit against ex Johnny Depp.

Musk first met Heard in 2012 when the actress was filming Machete Kills in Los Angeles, at a time when the star was in a tumultuous relationship with Depp.

When that marriage ended amid allegations of domestic violence, Heard quietly began spending more time with the South African-born billionaire before eventually confirming their status just months after the ink was dry on her divorce from Depp.

The couple dated for 12 months between 2017 and 2018, with Musk visiting her on the set of Aquaman in Australia. In February 2018, they finally called it quits for good.

It was also claimed that “at least” two scenes featuring Heard were cut from the sequel: an action scene in which Mera fights Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and a love scene with Momoa, insiders familiar with the production claimed.

In July, Heard broke her silence about returning to the role of Mera in the Aquaman sequel.

The actress, who reportedly earned $2 million for her role in the first film, said she was “honored” to return to the DC Extended Universe, but admitted there was “a lot of pressure.”

In comparison to her latest film, In the Fire, Amber said Deadline: ‘These are very different types of projects that represent two very different ends of the spectrum in my industry.

“There’s a lot of pressure on these big franchise films, with millions and millions of dollars at stake, and compromises are part of the effort to make them the most successful.

‘At the other end of the spectrum is a small indie film like In The Fire, a work of art and a labor of love, with not nearly the same resources, and so there are compromises.

‘The best luck you can have as an actor is if you can balance both. Aquaman, that franchise and the machinery behind it, I’m very honored, honored to be a part of that.

She continued, “And then there are those little passion projects like In The Fire, where I’m proud that I got to know the filmmaker and the cast, and that we got dirty together to breathe life into this story.

“There’s something cool about that, and I think success is an actor who can have both of those things.”

Heard starred in the first Aquaman film in 2018, but her return in the sequel was controversial after she accused her ex-husband Johnny Depp of abuse.

A petition was set up by the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor’s fans demanding her role be recast, accusing her of a ‘systematic crusade to ruin Depp in Hollywood’.

Johnny was dropped from the Fantastic Beasts franchise, after losing his case against News Group Newspapers for calling him a “wife beater,” which a judge said was “substantially true.”

The petition gathered millions of signatures, but Amber dismissed it, telling Entertainment Weekly: “Paid rumors and paid campaigns on social media do not dictate [casting decisions] because they have no basis in reality.’

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom stars Jason Momoa, as well as Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Nicole Kidman, Yahya Abdul Mateen II and Temuera Morrison. The release is scheduled for December 22.

Amber Heard has broken her silence about her return to the role of Mera in the Aquaman sequel.

The actress, 37, said she was “honoured” to return to the DC Extended Universe, but admitted there was “a lot of pressure.”

The film’s producer, Peter Safran, echoed this, saying, “I don’t think we’ll ever respond to, frankly, sheer pressure from fans. You have to do what’s best for the movie. We felt that if it is [director] James Wan and [star] Jason Momoa, it should be Amber Heard. That’s really what it was.

“People aren’t ignorant of what’s going on in the Twitter verse, but that doesn’t mean you should respond to it or take it as gospel or accede to their wishes. You have to do what’s right for the movie, and we’ve really landed on that.’

Kevin Costner’s divorce from estranged wife Christine Baumgartner has become explosive with claims that the star is now ‘homeless’ and that his ex splurged $95,000 on his credit card, and took out a restraining order against him.

In court papers seen by DailyMail.com the actor’s lawyers claim that they have made ‘multiple offers’ to get his wife to move out of the former marital home – but have failed to reach agreement with Christine, 49, a model turned handbag designer, leaving him effectively homeless.

Costner, 68, remarks: ‘This is surprising and disheartening to me.’

He adds: ‘I was married once before and, upon separation, found myself without a home base and unable to live in my own home.

‘I never wanted this to happen again.’

Costner, from Colorado, is worth $250 million and under the terms of the prenup, signed in 2004, she was to leave his properties if they split and relocate, using a $1.2 million fund to find a new house.

Kevin is not the celebrity to go through a tense breakup with many making the headlines over the years and one even getting turned into a TV series.

From Angelina and Brad’s scuffle over a vineyard to Cheryl and Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini’s divorce getting dismissed in just 14 seconds, FEMAIL looks at the most acrimonious divorces in A-list history…

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

After 15 months of marriage Amber Heard, 37, and Johnny Depp, 60, called it quits in what can only be described as one of the most explosive and publicised ends in celebrity relationship history. Pictured in 2015

Johnny Depp, 60, and Amber Heard, 37, exchanged vows under a flower-adorned marquee on the beach of the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s private island Little Hall’s Pond Cay in the Bahamas in February 2015. 

However, it is understood they got married legally in Los Angeles first so his ailing mother was attend.  

After 15 months of marriage, the couple called it quits in what quickly became one of the most explosive break-ups in celebrity relationship history.

According to TMZ, Amber filed for a divorce citing irreconcilable differences and a source at the time revealed the couple did not have a pre-nuptial agreement. 

In a cruel twist of fate, Johnny’s mum Betty Sue Palmer passed away two before the papers were served. 

Following the split, the Aquaman actress accused her ex-husband of physical and mental abuse, which Depp denied. Following a defamation trial in the UK, which Depp lost, he successfully sued his ex in further legal action in the US over an op-ed in the Washington Post in which she wrote that she had become a ‘public figure representing domestic abuse’. 

During the defamation trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, which was broadcast live on television and watched around the world, each alleged the other had been abusive during their marriage.

The court heard instances of lit cigarettes being used in physical altercations and Depp drinking ‘pints of wine’.

Photos of Depp’s finger, which had been severed in a skirmish while the couple were visiting Australia, were shown to the court.

A jury found that Heard had defamed Depp and she was ordered to pay her ex-husband $1 million in damages. 

Mel B and Stephen Belafonte

Melanie Brown, 46, split from her film producer husband Stephen Belafonte in 2017 following 10 years of marriage. 

At the time, she claimed he had emotionally and physically abused her during their 10-year marriage – something which he has always vehemently denied. 

The following year, she detailed her allegations against her ex in a memoir, Brutally Honest, including that he had filmed them having threesomes.

Mel B, real name Melanie Brown, admitted that the threesome was her idea but the jealous and controlling Belafonte would only ever allow their sexual escapades to involve other women, not men.

Mel B added that she liked women so this wasn’t a problem, until Stephen would coerce her into doing it when she didn’t even want to.

‘Stephen was desperate to make me entice other celebrities into our little sex web. Some girls said yes, some girls said no.

‘It was a game I had grown tired of. I wanted to stop. He didn’t. Things would get nasty and I’d give in,’ she said.

Since the split, Mel B has become an advocate for victims of domestic violence and is now an ambassador for Woman’s Aid.

However, as Belafonte continues to deny abusive and controlling behaviour, he has launched a war of words against his ex-wife.

Last year, he revealed he contacted Women’s Aid and asked them to drop Mel B as an ambassador, claiming she was lying about being a victim of domestic abuse. 

Cheryl and Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini

Cheryl's marriage to restaurateur Jean-Bernard ended in divorce in 2016, just two years after they tied the knot following a whirlwind three-month romance. Pictured: The couple in 2015

Following her split from England footballer Ashley Cole, fans were thrilled for Girls Aloud Star Cheryl when she found love again with restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini.

After a whirlwind three-month romance, the pair married in a private ceremony on the Caribbean island of Mustique not long after they met in Cannes, France.

But the couple’s fairytale love story was shattered when they divorced two years later in 2016. 

According to The Sunday Mirror, the 39-year-old singer cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split.

It was finalised with a Decree Nisi in just 14 seconds, making it the UK’s quickest divorce in history. 

A source told the newspaper: ‘In the end Cheryl realised she had married too soon and had been swept away by a bit of a whirlwind romance.

‘Over time it became clear to each of them that they were very different people and from very different worlds.’

It was later revealed in divorce papers that Cheryl had cited the ‘stress’ her former flame had put her under as the reason for her losing a significant amount of weight.

A few days after the couple’s divorce was finalised, reports emerged that Jean-Bernard had recorded his former wife during a bitter argument in their home as she tried to get him to leave the premises.

The Sun reported that the singer was worried the 45-minute recording would go public and expose the extent of the couple’s blazing rows. 

Pals of the singer also told the newspaper she was concerned by her husband’s ‘controlling’ nature, and alleged he had resented her commitment to The X Factor, on which she was a judge for several series. 

Cheryl, who went on to have a son, Bear, with One Direction’s Liam Payne, reverted to her maiden name Tweedy after a phase of being known simply by her Christian name – claimed that that ‘every man’ in her life has let her down, leaving her with ‘zero’ interest in a new relationship.

In 2018 the 39-year-old hinted in an interview published in The Sunday Times Style magazine, that Jean-Bernard had cheated on her as she said how Liam, ‘is the only man who has ever been faithful to her’.

Brad Pitt, 59, and Angelina Jolie, 48, first met on the set of Mr&Mrs Smith in 2004, while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

However, the movie marked the end of Brad and Jen and paved the way for Brangelina, as the couple got divorced in January 2005. 

That same year, the couple went public with their relationship, with Pitt accompanying his new love to Ethiopia where she adopted Zahara. Soon, Pitt officially adopted Zahara and Maddox, and in 2006 Jolie gave birth to their child Shiloh.

The pair were together for a decade, and adopted 

Angelina adopted Pax Thien, then three, from an orphanage in Vietnam and Brad adopted Pax in America around a year after. 

But in 2016, the Brangelina said they were splitting – with Angelina filing a divorce from Brad after they had been married for just two years.

Shortly after, reports emerged that Brad was being investigated for alleged child abuse after an incident on their private jet. 

Maddox allegedly put himself in the middle of his parent’s argument as they flew home from Europe.

But a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time that it was ‘totally a child-parent disagreement,’ and reports of inappropriate physical conduct are ‘exaggerated or untrue.’ Brad was later cleared of the allegations in November of that year. 

The following year, 2017, Brad spoke to GQ about the divorce and said: ‘It’s just very, very jarring for the kids, to suddenly have their family ripped apart. 

‘If anyone can make sense of it, we have to with great care and delicacy, building everything around that.’

‘Our focus is that everyone come out stronger and better people — there is no other outcome.’ 

Angelina spoke to Vanity Fair that same year and said: ‘We care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.

‘I do not want my children to be worried about me. I think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them.’

The pair are still involved in a battle over their Chateau Miraval vineyard which they bought in 2008.

They were equal owners of both the wine making enterprise and the property and even got married there in 2014.

It’s been noted in court that the ex-married couple had an agreement to get consent from each other if they wanted to sell their half.

Brad accused Angelina of breaking the agreement when her share of the $160 million vineyard was passed onto a Russian oligarch. 

They added that Brad learnt about his new co-owner via ‘a press release,’ which said that they were ‘thrilled’ about the new opportunity, his lawyers claim. 

Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans 

Battle: The actor, 49, has been locked in a bitter divorce battle with the 102 Dalmatians star, 54, since their split with the pair also fighting for custody over their daughters

Battle: The actor, 49, has been locked in a bitter divorce battle with the 102 Dalmatians star, 54, since their split with the pair also fighting for custody over their daughters 

Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans have been locked in a bitter divorce battle since their split with the pair also fighting for custody over daughters Ella, 13, and Elsie, nine.

Gruffudd and Evans announced that their marriage was over in January 2021 and he went public with his new romance that October.

Gruffudd filed for joint custody of his two daughters last July after Evans filed for sole custody amid their acrimonious divorce.

As well as requesting visitation rights, he claimed in the filing that Evans had been purposely trying to cut communication between him and his children.

In court documents seen by MailOnline this week, Gruffudd detailed the breakdown of communication between the pair after the end of their 14-year marriage and described their increasingly hostile encounters. 

Gruffudd alleged that Evans’s ‘verbal abuse and inappropriate behavior escalated after I moved out of the family residence’ on January 25, 2021.

He said: ‘Alice sent me hundreds of harassing, abusive and threatening communications by text, email, voice message, video message, and OFW (Our Family Wizard, a US co-parenting app), and she has verbally abused me on the phone and in person, often in front of the girls.’

Gruffudd also alleged that ‘during the April 19, 2021 drop-off, Alice asked me to look at her outfit, lifted up her skirt to show me her bare behind, and revealed to me and the girls that she was not wearing underwear. 

‘I left immediately. During a FaceTime with Elsie that night, Alice screamed that she wanted me to die.’ 

The revelations came in documents filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court after Ella applied for a temporary restraining order against Gruffudd and his girlfriend Biana Wallace, 30.

Gruffudd met aspiring actress Wallace in Australia while shooting the series Harrow.

They now live together in Los Angeles and Wallace, who has multiple sclerosis, recently gave a magazine interview about her condition and ‘Yo’s’ support and love for her.

In court filings, Gruffudd accused Evans of verbally abusing him during their marriage, and ‘undermining him’ in front of the girls throughout their lives.’

‘Alice made fun of my appearance often, making hair-loss comments and telling me I had ‘saggy-vagina eyes,’ court papers read.

He went on to claim that Evans ‘has inflicted serious emotional harm on Ella and Elsie by her statements and by interfering in my relationship with them.’

In March this year, charges that Evans had violated her restricting order were dropped.

Gruffudd is currently shooting the film Bad Boys 4 with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green  

After two-and-a-half-years of marriage, Millie Mackintosh, 33, and Professor Green, 39, were granted a 'quickie divorce' as Millie cited 'unreasonable behaviour' as her reason

After two-and-a-half-years of marriage, Millie Mackintosh, 33, and Professor Green, 39, were granted a ‘quickie divorce’ as Millie cited ‘unreasonable behaviour’ as her reason

They were the coolest couple around – the beautiful reality star and the rapper from London.

However, after two-and-a-half-years of marriage Millie Mackintosh, 33, and Professor Green, 39, were granted a ‘quickie divorce’ with the Quality Street heiress citing ‘unreasonable behaviour’ as the reason for their split.

The divorce was granted in just 30 seconds, just three months after the couple announced they were separating after saying they had been living separate lives.

In a statement at the time, they said: ‘It is a mutual decision, we still care deeply about each other and would like it to be known that it is on amicable terms and we wish each other well.’

But following their split, Professor Green, real name Stephen Manderson, revealed that the split had put him in a different position financially and also launched a scathing attack on Millie’s ‘fake friends’.

He admitted that he didn’t gel well with his ex’s friendship group, claiming that they were not to be trusted because they would sell stories to the press about the couple.

‘I never really mixed with her friends. I don’t like talking about her when she is not here because she can’t talk for herself, but in that world it’s so fake,’ he said.

‘A lot of [gossip] come out from people that she knew, that’s the only place it could have come from.’

While the couple initially described their parting as a ‘friendly divorce’, in 2016 he released a song about their marriage breakdown, ‘One Eye on the Door’.

Millie allegedly retaliated by covering the dress she wore on her wedding day with fake blood and wearing it to a Halloween party.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman, 56, and Tom Cruise, 60, met on the set of Days of Thunder in 1989 and got married a year later on Christmas Eve.

They would go on to adopt two children, daughter Isabella Jane in 1992, and son Connor Antony in 1995, but would refrain from having biological children during their marriage. 

Tom introduced his wife to the Church of Scientology but she did not become a member and remained a Catholic. 

The pair divorced in 2001 on mysterious circumstances, reportedly due to her refusal to join him in his Scientology beliefs. 

Both Tom and the Church of Scientology have denied that the religion was associated with the breakdown of his marriage with Nicole.

However in an exclusive statement sent to the Mail on Sunday at the time, she said that her husband of ten years did not give her any warning. 

The actress said she was ‘heartbroken’ when Tom said he wanted to separate just two months after they renewed their vows.

‘This divorce was not her decision,’ the statement said. ‘Tom made the move. Nicole is in a state of shock.’ 

But Cruise’s Press agent, Pat Kingsley, has claimed the couple agreed that ‘an amicable separation’ was ‘best for both of them’. 

After a seven-month legal battle, it was decided that both parents would share custody of their children, Connor and Isabella.

However the Isabella and Connor- who are both Scientologists themselves – decided to live with their father in Los Angeles, while their mother moved back to Australia. 

The photograph of Nicole seemingly cheering after leaving her attorney’s office when her divorce from Tom was finalised circles around the internet every so often. 

‘I was so young when I got married. I look back now and I’m like, “What?”‘ Kidman told Red magazine in 2016. ‘You look at Taylor Swift, I mean how old is she? She’s 26.

‘I had two kids by the time I was 27 and I’d been married for four years. But that’s what I wanted.’ 

To this day, it seems that Tom avoids bumping into Nicole, after he skipped the Oscars because his ex-wife was attending.

With roaring box-office success Top Gun: Maverick nominated for no less than six awards, one may have assumed that Tom would be present for the acting community’s biggest night of the year. 

But he was curiously absent this year, and according to a source, Nicole was the reason why. 

A source told DailyMail.com: ‘Tom was not there because she was there, and he did not want a run-in.’

Amber Heard looked radiant in a chic cream ensemble on Friday night after attending the premiere of her new film at Italy’s Taormina Film Festival.

The actress, 37, stars in thriller In The Fire, her first foray into the big screen since she lost the 2022 defamation lawsuit brought by her ex-husband Johnny Depp, 60.

And Amber left court drama behind as she laughs and laughs with her Italian co-star Luca Calvani, 48, and other friends after promoting the film at the festival.

The beauty slipped into a plain white top and cream midi skirt with a front slit that highlighted her toned pins.

She paired her evening outfit with a simple black clutch and black pumps which she later took off during the outing.

Amber let her wavy blonde locks down for the occasion, while amping up the glamor with a touch of bold red lipstick.

Despite her recent legal troubles, the mother of a child looked happier than ever as she laughed and joked with her friends at the film festival.

On Saturday, Amber looked equally glamorous in a black ensemble as she presented her new movie In The Fire at the 69th Taormina Festival.

She looked elegant in a black dress with sheer waterfall sleeves, which she styled with platform heels.

Amber wore her golden locks in tight curls over her shoulders and completed her look with a bold red lipstick.

Her performance marks her first time promoting a movie since her trial.

The plot of the movie In The Fire takes place in Colombia in 1899.

The synopsis about the festival websitereveals that Amber will play an American psychiatrist who “arrives at a wealthy farm in Colombia after being called to solve the case of a disturbed child.”

The boy’s mother is concerned about accusations from a local priest that her child is possessed by the devil.

“When the doctor arrives, she discovers that the boy’s mother is dead and that the father himself has come to believe in the possible possession of the child.”

As the doctor uses the still-new practice to try and cure the child, it becomes a race against time to save the boy, and perhaps her own life.

Amber Heard was spotted working up a sweat on a run in Madrid, Spain on Friday after finally paying ex Johnny Depp the $1 million settlement she owed him following their bitter legal battle.

The actress, 37, who moved to the countryside with her two-year-old daughter Oonagh in the wake of the lawsuits, showed off her toned figure in skimpy workout clothes.

Amber showed off her toned midriff in a black sports bra that she paired with matching leggings and a pair of trainers.

Appearing to be going makeup-free for the session, the Aquaman star donned a black visor as she tied back her long hair.

She carried essentials in a fanny pack around her tiny waist and listened to music through earbuds as she ran through the city streets.

Heard recently gave her first interview since moving abroad. She was fluent in Spanish as she declared, “I love Spain very much,” in footage obtained by Univision.

A source told the Daily Mail last month: “She is bilingual in Spanish and is happy there, raising her daughter away from all the noise.”

Her sighting comes in the wake of her $1 million payment to Depp, which he has vowed to distribute five ways to his favorite charities.

Depp and his ex-wife finally settled their defamation claims against each other in December after five years of furious legal battles.

Heard, who returns to the big screen later this month as she debuts her new film In The Fire at a film festival in Italy, claimed she was a victim of domestic violence during her 15-month marriage to Depp.

While a London court found in favor of Heard, a second case in Fairfax, Virginia, came out last year on Depp’s side.

After Heard was ordered to pay $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million (later reduced to $365,000) in punitive damages, and told Depp to hand over $2 million in libel damages, the former couple’s legal teams finally to an agreement.

Now, six months after one of the most acrimonious Hollywood divorces in modern times, TMZ reports that Depp finally received his $1 million from Heard’s insurance company.

The outlet reports that the money will be divided equally, $200,000 each, among Depp’s five favorite nonprofits.

The charities range from organizations helping sick children with life-threatening illnesses to housing for disadvantaged communities.

The five nonprofits that Depp will choose to donate the money to are: Make-A-Film Foundation, The Painted Turtle, Red Feather, Tetiaroa Society, and the Amazonia Fund Alliance.

Sources have told TMZ that Depp chose Painted Turtle and Tetiaroa Society as a tribute to two heroes in his life, respective founders Paul Newman and Marlon Brando.

He has chosen Make-A-Film, a charity that fulfills the wishes of children from the acting world, because he has made a short film with them in the past.

Red Feather and Amazonia focus on helping indigenous communities preserve their culture and heritage through shelters and large-scale infrastructure projects.

Despite the bitter dispute, Depp has always maintained that he was not trying to get money from his ex-wife, but rather to clear his name and reputation.

As both actors try to mend their lives, Depp has been spotted at the Cannes Film Festival and more recently mobbed by fans ahead of his Hollywood Vampires performance in Istanbul this weekend.

While Depp took center stage on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival to mark the debut of his new film Jeanne du Barry, Heard was pictured walking with her daughter in Madrid, Spain, last month.

The actress was pictured taking a daytime stroll after DailyMail.com exclusively reported earlier this month that she has retired from the US – and the hustle and bustle of Hollywood – in the wake of her ex-husband Depp’s most successful libel lawsuit against her. Virginia. last year.

Now she and her daughter have set up camp in a house just outside Madrid.

It was unclear whether Heard will try to return to Hollywood, but she will appear in the upcoming thriller In The Fire, which premieres later this month at the 69th Taormina Film Festival in Italy. It will be her first time on the big screen since the libel trial.
