It allegedly happened in 1999 when the 55-year-old Blue Bloods alum was 26 and starred in films Summer of Sam, Just One Time, and The Bachelor
Jennifer Esposito claimed a Harvey Weinstein-style producer once tried to 'completely end' her career when she was 26 years old.
'If you do, great, it's just not me. And that was a really, really painful time because he, literally, that kid who was waiting tables and that kid who had this dream since she was a baby, he literally took it because he could and killed it.' Esposito claimed the unnamed producer's blacklisting lead to her being dropped by her agent and manager, and she didn't score new representation for two and a half years.
'Because, as I've said, to a few people that know me well, Fresh Kills my film was for the 26-year-old kid who got slaughtered.' Jennifer also has two upcoming acting projects - Todd Turner's refugee drama The December Cross alongside Judd Hirsch and Kenny Beaumont's middle school comedy F Plus alongside six-time UFC champion Randy Couture.
Jennifer continued: 'So he fired me for no reason. He wanted someone else and he got her. But then, like, anybody that called and was like,"Hey, I want to hire her." He was like,"Don't hire her." said I was a drug addict. Locked myself in the trailer. never happened. I don't do drugs. Never did'
