Dakota Johnson has admitted to sending gorilla excrement to a friend’s ex-partner during her recent lie detector interview with Vanity Fair. The 35-year-old actress made this revelation in her second polygraph session with the publication, following her initial test six years ago.
According to People, during the questioning about her loyalty to friends, Johnson confirmed that she had indeed mailed “a gallon of gorilla s—” to someone who had broken her friend’s heart. When asked about the logistics of such an unusual delivery, the Madame Web star revealed that her preferred website for such purchases is S—Senders.com, noting that “you can order any kind, any size.” However, when the conversation turned to ordering public crabs online, Johnson quickly drew the line, stating, “No! Good Lord, I’m not a monster.”
The actress demonstrated her fierce loyalty to friends throughout the interview, even indicating she would provide a false alibi to law enforcement for her “lifelong” friend Riley Keough if necessary. While Johnson admitted to the gorilla poop incident, she added that “it’s been quite a while. It’s been some years,” and expressed confidence that the recipient would not watch the interview.
Personal life updates and recent split from Chris Martin
The revelation comes amid news of Johnson’s recent separation from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48, after nearly eight years together. The couple, who began dating in 2017, were reportedly engaged for “years” but never rushed into marriage.
Recent sightings of Johnson in New York City on June 2 and June 4 showed the actress without her engagement ring. The last public appearance of the couple together was in Malibu on May 16, followed by a sighting in India where they were photographed holding hands during Martin’s tour with Coldplay.
Sources close to the situation have described the split as definitive, with an insider telling PEOPLE, “It feels final this time.” Representatives for both stars have not responded to requests for comment on the separation.
Throughout her career, Johnson has maintained a notably private stance regarding her personal life. This discretion was evident in a 2018 Tatler interview where she briefly acknowledged her relationship with Martin, stating only that she was “very happy.” Her mother, actress Melanie Griffith, has also respected this privacy, despite expressing her admiration for Martin at the Global Gift Foundation USA Women’s Empowerment Luncheon in May 2018.
