Jennifer Esposito Reveals Career Sabotage by Influential Producer

The actress recounts how a powerful Hollywood figure attempted to blacklist her, impacting her career trajectory.

Esposito described the producer as 'Harvey Weinstein-esque' and 'notorious, brutal.'
She was fired without cause and falsely labeled a drug addict, hindering her job prospects.
Her agency dropped her, citing the producer's influence, leaving her without representation for over two years.
Esposito's recent film, Fresh Kills, was inspired by her experiences and serves as a reclamation of her career.
She reflects on the painful period but acknowledges it shaped her into the filmmaker she is today.
