His Criticism Permanently Changed Her

[Blind Gossip] We’re going to tell you about something that happened many years ago that completely changed the career trajectory of a famous actress.

You will find interesting because it also involves a very famous male actor who has been in the news a lot over the past couple of years.

Many years ago, our actress was fortunate enough to score two movies in a row that are now both considered classics. These breakthroughs propelled her into the spotlight.

Every actor wanted to date her and she wound up in a series of relationships with several of the most popular young actors at that time.

One of them was a handsome young actor who was the star of the coolest TV series at that time. Some of you may have even had a poster of him on your bedroom wall.

Our actor and actress dated. Seriously dated. They were even rumored to have been engaged at one point. For the most part, though, they kept their relationship out of the spotlight.

While you now know what a jerk he is, at the time, all anyone – including our young actress – could see was that he was the hottest guy on the planet. She may have felt lucky just being with him.

He was cute on the outside but the inside was a different story.

He was volatile. He was controlling. He started picking on her. Maybe his own fame had gone too his head. Maybe it was the drugs. Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was just him being his nasty self.

A lot of the nastiness was about her appearance. While our actress is adorable, she had a unique look. It was not the “classic” kind of Hollywood look that our actor thought she should have.

He told her that she should change her appearance. He even gave her the name of a plastic surgeon. He wore her down with his jibes and negativity. Our once confident and successful actress began to doubt herself. Was he right?

They broke up, but wven after they broke up, our actress simply could not shake his repeated criticisms about her appearance. He had gotten into her head.

She changed her look and the change was dramatic.

Except… now she looked like every other girl in Hollywood. Her uniqueness was gone.

Her career suffered. She slipped into near obscurity.

Nobody could ever understand why she did that to herself.

Now you know.

    Boy, if this is Johnny Depp, what a total jerk.

    Ladies, PLEASE don’t do plastic surgery to your face. At best, you will still look old with a weird, plastic face, and at worst, you will sever the connection of resembling your family, like your parents.

  3. dinamarieburnett says

    Jennifer looks so much better with the nose job. Maybe that was not the reason her career tanked. It’s always easier to blame someone else.

  5. Jimmyshine says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp.

    Yes…my wife suggests I look the other f’ing way whenever a pretty girl walks by.

  6. angelbratt says

    Ooohhh, maybe Nicole Kidman

    Tom cruse?

    But maybe not, she isn’t exactly obscure in hell-owood

  13. Hardball71 says

    Jennifer Grey whose (2nd) rhinoplasty made her unrecognizable. I think this blind is about Depp who would have been on 21 JUMP STREET and movies. Her other famous boyfriends including Broderick, Billy Baldwin and Michael J Fox (who also fit inso far as was in BACK TO THE FUTURE movies along with his series BUT wouldn’t be considered the hottest guy on earth would he????)

    No and if they did, they wouldn’t be my significant other.

  19. bellashade says

    Jennifer Grey

    She dated both Matthew Broderick and Johnny Depp – I’d put my money on Depp for the critical *.

  23. bertwheeler says

    Jennifer Grey
    Johnny Depp
    Nothing more than suggesting when it’s time for a haircut.

  26. mel1313 says

    Jennifer Grey

    Johnny Depp

    My sociopathic narcissistic ex husband tried to get me to change everything about my appearance. I changed my last name back to my birth name and lost 200 pounds of jerk.

  30. SweetMel says

    Optional: No SO had gone that hard. That sounds like a Hollywood culture thing about literally changing bone structures. I’ve had boyfriends like certain clothing & styles but so do I on men.

    I once said out loud, “I need to tighten my butt again” & he he just said ‘yeah’ from the other room. Lol The only squabble was cost of gym membership.

  31. amagod121 says

    Winona Ryder
    Johnnie Depp

    Nope. No clue. But my G*d, Winona was gorgeous in her earlier films!

  39. OochieWoochie says

    Actress : Jennifer Grey
    Actor : Johnny Depp
    Optional : I can’t recall which likely means it hasn’t happened to me.

  48. ArgyleAlligator says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp.
    My husband has never done this, but my father did on several occasions. I only kept one of them in my life!

  50. crichmond0001 says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp. They dated 1987. She also dated Matthew Broderick, but Depp’s the *.

  52. donotstalk11 says

    Jennifer Grey dated Michael J Fox, didn’t she? Was Family Ties a hip TV show? Oh wait, she dated Depp too, so it’s probably his skanky *.

  57. flanajl says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp

    Optional: yes I did. I worked out all the time and got super thin. It didn’t last because I did it for him, not for me.

  59. jojo5282 says

    This is Jennifer Grey. It sounds like Johnny Depp was always horrible. She was also in a terrible car crash with Matthew Broderick before the release of Dirty Dancing. No doubt that took a toll on her ability to perform.

  60. petrolblue says

    Jennifer Grey
    Jonny Depp

    Nope, I think I would always have found that creepy and controlling.

  61. pitbull says

    Actress: Renee Zellweger
    Actor: Matthew Perry

    They secretly dated. His problems with drugs and alcohol are well documented. Her career evaporated after having plastic surgery, which she later “reversed.”

  70. Midwestgurl says

    Jennifer Grey

    Johnny Depp.

    No. No one I’ve dated has asked me to change the way I look. He’d be thrown to the curb if he did.

  72. noitall says

    Johnny Depp is the actor. I’m guessing Jennifer Grey for Dirty Dancing and Back to the Future. She looks like a completely different person now, and it’s clearly not just due to natural aging…

  73. cloudstar says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp?

    I doubt he was properly abusive, he probably just made jokes about it, and teased her slightly. But some girls have low self-esteem, you need to be confident and know your worth. And dump the guys who talk to you like that!

  79. SweetMel says

    Jennifer Grey & Johnny Depp ?? They dated back in the day when she was the bigger movie star. But he had 21 Jump Street, looks & that hidden addiction.

    Her nose job after few huge movies really changed her look. Barely recognized her in a ‘Friends’ episode but hardly worked after the work done to her face.

  80. nosynyer says

    Jennifer Grey
    Johnny Depp

    Her movies were Dirty Dancing and Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.

    His cool TV show was “21 Jump Street.”

  82. Sangfroid says

    Oh, and look at the picture! Her hand over her nose; they are both wearing grey. This is so sad but I am sure now that I am right.

  85. Sangfroid says

    Johnny Depp and Jennifer Grey.

    They were my first guess for both people, but I didn’t realise they’d dated until I came back to this later and decided to Google it…

    She was so beautiful just as she was. 🙁

  96. barbijo1970 says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp

    There was once a guy I lived with that would criticize everything about me. It took awhile but I finally was able to leave him and I have never looked back.

  103. NorwegianMystique says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp
    (I know they were rumored to be engaged)

  104. purplefluffybunny says

    Jennifer Grey
    Johnny Depp? Or Matthew Broderick?

    I had a boyfriend who criticised my weight, whether I was chubby or skinny (my weight yo-yo’d when I kept trying to quit smoking) . He’s my EX!

  107. stories unveiled says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp

    Very sad. I often wondered what made her do this. Johnny turned out to be a nasty, very toxic man. Sad it had such a negative, life altering impact on her. Some of life’s lessons are extremely painful. Very happy she’s sharing this today. Maybe they’ll be a lessons for others & a little more freedom for her from this disempowering compliance. She was a beautiful, spry, glowing young actress. Shows how deeply damaged Johnny was even back…

  110. rodieb123 says

    This has got to be Jennifer Grey. And I’m gonna go with Jonny Depp as the guy.

    No one has ever asked me to change my appearance. If they did, they’d be gone.

  113. mybellyistoofulltothink says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp

    I find this odd. He hooked up with Vanessa Paradis for so long and had kids with her. She’s got a “unique” look too. And she seems like a tough confident woman who never changed her appearance to fit in. So he wanted Jennifer Grey to be “classic” but got together with another non-classic?

  118. Elodia says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp – Fun Fact: Depp ist a german word and means *
    No, never. Though I’m not that happy with my nose, I’d rather get rid of the person who suggested I’d chance it than of my nose… 😉

  119. LittleMissMuffin says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey

    Actor: Johnny Depp

    [Optional] Has a significant other ever suggested you change the way you look? What was the result? No one has ever suggested anything, not that I’m gorgeous or ant but I’m pretty sure they value their fingers more than criticizing my appearance 😉

  122. stepha19 says

    Johnny Depp & Winona Ryder
    He: 21 Jump Street heart throb
    Her: Beetle Juice & Edward Scissorhands

  123. kasha808 says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp

    Optional: I can’t remember a significant other suggesting any changes to my appearance. I’m sure they wanted to but they were too scared of what I would do 🙂

  130. Snaggletooth says

    Jennifer Gray
    Johnny Depp – he pressured her to have a nose job and she wasn’t recognizable afterwords and her career tanked.

  134. cocopie says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey

    Actor: Johnny Depp

    [Optional] Has a significant other ever suggested you change the way you look? What was the result? Never

  135. Tandy6994 says

    Jennifer Grey and “ugly on the inside” Johnny Depp. She looked amazing before her change, and she still looks great, just different.
    Never let anyone make you decide to change anything because THEY think you need it.

  138. ivyleaguer says

    Sounds like Meg Ryan to me. The two classics being ” When Harry Met Sally” and “Sleepless in Seattle”. Once she started down the road of cosmetic surgery her hot career evaporated.

  140. itsjustanothergirl says

    Jennifer Grey

    Johnny Depp

    My mother convinced a way too young me into getting plastic surgery. I still regret it.

  142. lindseyne says

    I think the actress is Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing. She got a nose job and nobody recognized her any more.
    Actor was probably Johnny Depp 21 jump street.

  148. KellyKitty says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp

    [Optional] Yes, he used comment on my eating, implying I was fat (I wasn’t). Result – he became an ex.

  150. mmmbones says

    First time post.
    Jennifer Gray
    Johhny Depp
    No one has ever asked me to change anything. Or maybe they have and I have removed it from my memory lol

  151. parkland45 says

    The only one I can think of is Renee Zellwegger who changed her face & lost that cuteness she was famous for.
    I’d only change if it was my desire.

  152. Banbanbana says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp?

    I know she starred in Ferris Beuller and then Dirty Dancing back to back, and he was in 21 jump street at one point….

  153. RadiantA says

    Oh snap, was this Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp?

    I had a boyfriend once ask for an unnecessary aesthetic change. It was only one of the reasons I dumped him.

  160. wasteoftime says

    Jennifer Grey and her career-altering nose job.
    (The grey sweater/shirt and the hand over the nose)

  162. barbarella1978 says

    Jennifer Grey
    Probably Johnny Depp.

    Such a shame about her nose but still an icon

  165. sassybrunette says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp

    And, no one has ever suggested I have plastic surgery.

  167. isoldethefair says

    This is probably way off, but I remember my mom always saying, “What did Jennifer Grey do to herself?”

    So I’m going with Jennifer Grey and. . . Michael J Fox? Maybe?

    I don’t think I was born yet, lol

  176. deering says

    Jennifer Grey.

    The insufferable Johnny Depp. Yeesh, does this guy make a second career of torturing actresses? His exes should join forces and take him down.

  180. Whisper says

    Sounds like this might be about Dep and Winona Ryder. I looked at pics of Winona between 1988 and 1994 and couldn’t see much change in her features or her style. It appears he may have dated Juliet Lewis briefly, she does have a quirky look, WR was more cookie cutter, but again did she change that much? Plus she still seems to like him, based on a 2016 photo. I believe Brad Pit also dated Lewis but I think Scientology turned him off. I’m stumped.

  184. Magpie6300 says

    Jennifer Grey
    Johnny Depp

    Don’t remember them as a couple at all! What a jerk! It stopped her dead in her career tracks. Emotional abuse is so very real.

  194. Jthenurse says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Johnny Depp
    I mostly dated kind people so had few partners who openly criticized my looks. The only person highly critical of my appearance over the years has been me. On the contrary, my husband encourages me to make changes that make me happy while telling me he thinks I don’t need to change a thing.

  197. jshjen137 says

    Johnny Depp and Jennifer Grey

    One ex boyfriend told me he would be more attracted to me if I wasn’t so “curvy” … I weighed 125 pounds. That pretty much decided for me he wasn’t the one

  198. vogliodipiu says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp! She was so cute and then got a nose job and it all went downhill from there.

  199. boyjack4 says

    Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing
    Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street at the time
    She had plastic surgery on her nose and it changed her looks.
    She’s made a comeback recently though

  204. sweetpeach says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp. And I definitely had a Tiger Beat tearout of him on my wall, but find him repulsive now.

  209. shellyj4444 says

    Jennifer Grey and Michael J. Fox. I would never be with a man who thought that I should change anything about my looks, but I’m also in my late 30’s. I’ve become a lot stronger than I was in my early 20’s. I can understand how a young woman (especially one in Hollywood) would let a boyfriend control her like that.

  211. ILUVCA4evr says

    Actress: Jennifer Gray

    Actor: Matthew Broderick (?)

    [Optional] Has a significant other ever suggested you change the way you look? Yep-my 1st husband. What was the result? For awhile, I just gave in and did what he wanted, until a family member took me aside and gave me a stern talking to. After that, I didn’t put up with his bull anymore and ultimately he found someone who did. I am much happier now, but it took a long time to shake it.

  212. redbus says

    johnny depp and jennifer grey. she got he nose done and basically fell off the planet..poor girl

  214. PastyWhite says

    Jennifer Grey. Actor boyfriend Johnny Depp. Yes, I had a poster of him from 21 Jump Street on my bedroom wall. How sad! Nobody had ever suggested I change my appearance. I wouldn’t have stayed with them if they did.

  229. JudgeJudi says

    Oh God, I’m a terribly awful proof reader!! Darn autocorrect!!
    Should read “Ferris” NOT “Fetus” !!!😂😂

  232. JudgeJudi says

    Jennifer Grey
    Johnny Depp
    Classic movies being “Fetus Bueler’s Day Off and of course, Dirty Dancing.
    She had her nose “fixed” and that was basically the end of her career.

  233. High Steppa says

    Jennifer Gray and Johnny Depp. I once dated a plastic surgeon who started suggesting little “tweaks.” I broke it off with him.

  239. BabyBrie says

    Johnny Depp for the guy, and I want to say Jennifer Grey or Winona Ryder for the actress? Jennifer had the nose job that changed her appearance completely, and lost work because of it.

    I’ve had guys nag me about loosing weight, but I didn’t listen to them.

  240. funster says

    Jennifer Gray and Depp.

    No no one would dare. But
    if they did I’d probably kick them to the curb.

  256. MommyPalooza says

    Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing? I always wondered why she changed her nose. I loved her as she was. Don’t know the actor. Charlie Sheen? Billy Baldwin?

  261. Flanky says

    Most of the time, I’m pretty bad at guessing these things and today is no different. I wonder who it is?

  262. gypsyjones says

    Jennifer Grey
    Johnny Depp

    optional: yes, a boyfriend I’d dated for about 6 months suggested I go blonde and save up money to get a bigger chest. Me. The athletic little Italian girl with jet black hair. That was a big hell no and I dumped him shortly after. Ick!

  263. qweenperky says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    * Actor: Johnny “showering is for losers” Depp

    Bonus: Constantly and the result was divorce court and a conviction for stalking and restraining against him to stay away from me.

  266. mozart_2002 says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: ???

    Such a shame that she was psychologically beaten down to the point that she made such an irreversible change to her appearance.

  268. OhYeah says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp. Clues in the picture are the gray sweaters they’re wearing and she’s covering her nose. Jennifer Grey had a nose job that maybe made her more “conventionally attractive” but completely changed her look and people didn’t recognize her. I feel bad for her. She was already doing well in Hollywood, so why take advice from a *?

  273. mrscake says

    Actress: Renee Zellweger
    Actor: Jim Carrey

    An ex told me I needed to change a *lot* of things about myself. He told me I needed to lose weight despite being underweight and him being morbidly obese, he told me I had a moustache (I don’t) and he told me he hated the way my hairdresser of 10 years cut my hair, so he insisted on doing it for me. And no, he wasn’t a hairdresser, just a controlling monster. I did listen in the end though, and lost 250lb by dumping his sorry behind.

  278. Renee2 says

    I’m going to guess Jennifer Grey and the evil Johnny Depp. She had a nose job and has basically never worked in anything significant again.

  280. putts08 says

    Actress- Jennifer Grey
    Actor- Johnny Depp
    Optional- No.

    I thought Jennifer was beautiful and unique before the nose job. I am very sad that her whole life was changed because of one a-hole.

  282. Virolution says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp.
    Optional: only 1 guy I dated wanted me to keep my hair short and wear makeup. That relationship didn’t last.

  285. Jenn123 says

    Johnny Depp and Jennifer Grey.

    At first I thought Winona Ryder, but she doesn’t appear to have had major plastic surgery, and the height of her career was long after they split.

  295. claireuk says

    It sounds like Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder but then vanessa paradis is hardly typical Hollywood-looking so maybe not?

  299. KrazyCatLady says

    Jennifer Grey, Ferris Buelers Day Off and Dirty Dancing. Charlie Sheen, I’m too lazy to google other guys. RJD? Johnny Depp? . She got a nose job, no one recognized her. She was in Bounce as a bit role, I was in high school and knew it was her and still couldn’t see it. She did win DWTS I think.

  304. WorkHardBeNice says

    It’s Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp.
    My husband very shyly told me a few years ago he wouldn’t hate it if I were a little curvier.

    Honey, I took it and RAN with it.

  305. badgerette85 says

    Johnny Depp and Jennifer Grey

    Op- fortunately not. I have friends that have significant others that tell them what to wear, hair styles, weight check ins, etc… If someone can’t love me for me then they can take a hike.

  306. JenLTX says

    Jennifer Grey
    Johnny Depp

    And my heart is now broken. I HATED that she felt compelled to do ANYTHING with her beautiful face.

  312. Dammit Janet says

    Jennifer Grey and Matthew Broderick, or Renee Zellwegger and any of the many losers she dated i.e. Jim Carrey

  313. aaatizzy says

    Jennifer gray
    Johnny depp

    Optional: yes, an ex thought my hair was too long so I cut it and hated it. After that, as soon as I started dating someone I was sure to tell them bluntly, “just so you know, I’m not cutting my hair if you don’t like it.” Lol.
    I have spent more time makeup-free since getting married and my husband saying he liked me that way. But that also very much appealed to my laziness!

  318. nycgirl2014 says

    wow thats what happened with Jennifer Grey….!!
    And Johnny Depp (21 Jump Street). He’s been a headcase from the beginning….

  322. travio says

    Jennifer Grey

    Johnny Depp

    Her nose job, poor girl. She had such a distinctive look, stunning even.

  324. mrs_right says

    Jennifer Grey
    Johnny Depp

    What a shame! No, although I’ve wanted to change things about myself. I have not, yet.

  326. Aquarius27 says

    This is Jennifer Grey and I want to say Johnny Depp which is really sad as I guess it proves him to be a bad guy.

  330. jannes715 says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp. They dated in the late 80’s when he was on 21 Jump St. and he’s been in the news with Amber Heard.

  332. aaaChi83 says

    Jennifer Grey and Johnny Depp
    This exact same thing happened to me and I must admit my self esteem is terrible. It always was but being involved with someone like that took its toll. I did not get surgery but I think about it from time to time.

    Poor Jennifer. Love yourself, Jennifer.

  344. zillyzallie says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey

    Actor: Johnny Depp

    She had a nose job that basically rendered her unrecognizable after Dirty Dancing.

  346. iknewit says

    Oooh This is Johnny Depp and Jennifer Grey.
    She had a nose job and it completely changed her face and ruined her career.
    Who knew he was a * even way back then.

  347. noinin says

    Jennifer Grey. She was engaged to Johnny Depp. Had a nose job and was unrecognizable.

    When I was a teenager I suffered from an eating disorder and was extremely thin. As a young adult, I gained a bit of weight but my BMI was still barely in the normal range. My boyfriend at the time (who knew I had an eating disorder) kept telling me I was getting fat, would always make comparisons with other girls claiming that I was so much fatter than them, that kind of stuff. I ended up dumping him.

    • OhYeah says

      Wow, what a * he was. I’m so glad you were able to dump him and get healthy. That must have been hard to do. ❤️

  350. Catman says

    Jennifer Grey is the actress and Johnny Depp is the actor! She dated him in 1987 and he is in the news a lot now!

  355. athf89 says

    Actress: Jennifer Grey
    Actor: Jonny Depp
    I always wondered why she did it. This is such a shame!
