In Dirty Dancing, Jennifer Grey played the role of Baby Houseman. She is the author of a new memoir called “In The Corner”.
In her book, she talks about her relationship with Johnny Depp and how she found out that he’d moved on with another actress.
Fans of classic ’80s romance films will remember the character of Jen Grey from ‘Dirty Dancing’.
While vacationing at a high-end resort in the Catskills, Houseman begins a tumultuous relationship with the camp’s dance instructor, Johnny Castle.
After learning to trust one another on the dance floor, Baby and Johnny fall in love with one another.
The hit of the summer was Dirty Dancing. The film had a budget of $6 million.
Which is pretty impressive.
It has an impressive 90% audience score, but it’s still too low if you ask me. Out Of The Corner is her new memoir. The tea was spilled by Jennifer.
I mean all of the tea.
There are a lot of celebrity romances. Johnny Depp was most notably.
Two years after the release of Dirty Dancing, Grey’s agent set up a blind date for Johnny and Jennifer, and they began dating.
Jennifer Grey wrote in her memoir that they ate, talked, drank, laughed, and took cigarette breaks.
“He was so ridiculously beautiful. And surprisingly open, funny, quirky, and sweet,” she said. The young stars were engaged two weeks later.
Things began to fall apart quickly.
After nine months into the engagement, they decided to call off the wedding.
It was a difficult decision but she was confident in it.
And why was that?
For one shocking reason.
“That is until I learned that my darling neighbor was banging my ex,” Grey stated bluntly. Grey is referring to a neighbor.
I was also shocked when I found out about it.
She joked that Johnny’s motorcycle jacket hadn’t even cooled off after nine months of wearing it.
“Bizarre, virtually seamless changing of the guards” is what was called by Jennifer Grey.
I can’t imagine how hard it would be for her to go through that on a normal day, but remember, when you’re a celeb, everything is in the press.
It was more difficult for her because of that.
She said that she had “The added fun of the blow-by-blow press coverage of what would become one of the most beloved celebrity couplings of the nineties.”
Major yikes!
Johnny proposed to Winona just five months into their relationship.
During the filming of Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands, Johnny and Winona were engaged, but never made it to the altar.
As to why Johnny and Winona’s relationship didn’t work out, Ryder blamed their careers.
While speaking to Cinema.com, Winona talked about how “When you’ve been an actor your whole life, your emotion and the acting get confused.”
“When you fight with your boyfriend, you start acting — it’s like work,” the ‘Stranger Things’ star explained.
Johnny is in a defamation trial with his ex-wife.
The internet has been filled with soundbites and video clips from the trial. Everyone is not happy about it.
Everything you don’t want people to know eventually comes out when you’re a celebrity.
All I have left to say is: Thank you for giving us the juiciest memoir ever. We like to see it.
