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.
