Actress Juliana Redding Found Dead in Los Angeles
Aspiring actress/model Juliana Redding was found dead by police in her Santa Monica home on Monday. Redding had been working as a waitress at a strip club to help ends meet as she chased her dream of becoming a successful actress and model.
Juliana Redding, 21, was found Sunday evening after her mother in Tucson, Ariz. called police to report that she hadn’t been able to reach her daughter by telephone, Lt. Alex Padilla said.
It wasn’t clear how long Redding had been dead, but police believed she died “as a result of an assault,” Padilla said.
An autopsy was scheduled Tuesday to determine the cause of death, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said.
Redding had been taking accomplished actor Greg Cipes. Cipes has not been named as a suspect but did Cipes kill Juliana? Detectives will likely find out and question him first. Boyfriends/husbands/spouses are usually the prime suspect in mysterious murders until they can establish their alibi.

She dated Cipes for a minute when she first moved to LA like 2.5 years ago. The guy’s a total douche bag!!! I saw him on KNBC 4 LA last night using the death of his EX- girlfriend to promote his career. He seems creepy enough! Plus, the picture he painted was of a wayward girl on the wrong path. Juliana was a beautiful, happy girl who was full of life. She was loved by all of her friends and in a relationship with a wonderful guy. Her current boyfriend is co-opperating with the police to help solve her murder, there’s no way he’ll be named a suspect in this. She worked as a model and at ZJ Boarding House as well. Cipes can take his greif and shove it, ’cause it was all for show and free PR.
Juliana’s spirit is with her true friends and beloved family.
RIP beautiful girl, always remembered, forever missed!
um, who?
Lovely woman. I hope her killer(s) are caught and hung! Neighbor heard loud sounds then heard running passed back door? Neighbors hardly ever get involved unless to be nosey bodies. How long did neighbor hear sounds of struggling, and not do a thing about it; probably thought, after the struggling, “thank God, now I can get some sleep…”
Too bad she didn’t live next door to me, I would’ve gone over immediately to see if she was alright. Idiot murderer(s) would not have gotten away; or better yet, perhaps, she if she did not die right away, I could have helped save her. Way to go, Neighbor on centinella whoever you are?
Hey Bumpshack, she worked at a TAPAS bar not a Topless bar. Try not to slander the dead next time.
Hey I am just reporting what her boyfriend Greg Cipes was saying on TV in all the interviews he was doing in his cut off denim shirt, with fedora and sunglasses on. I believe Cipes would know. He also went on to say that he didn’t approve of her working at a strip club.
And slander? What’s wrong with a topless bar?
Some of my best friends do and still do work at them
Greg Cipes is anything but a creep, or a douche bag, and he certainly doesn’t need to use a dead girl for P.R. People shouldn’t be so quick to judge other people that they don’t even know.
And wouldn’t it be even more likely that it would be the current boyfriend than an ex that she “dated for a minute 2.5 years ago”.
This was a terrible tragedy and you should have respect for other people’s grief.

BS- SO where was Greg yesterday when we did Juliana’s memorial? Of course her current BF was the first they looked at, but he’s def. been cleared of it. Greg Cipes was interviewed by police in SM yesterday. Quick to judge other people: I’m just passing on the feelings of J’s friends and family. Her parents are outraged by Cipes. His interviews painted an opposite picture of who Juliana was. How many of her friends went on the news the day after? None, just Cipes. And, he wasn’t a friend!!! He is using her death for PR, ’cause he’s not trying to get her real life across to the media. HIs grief plays on screen like bad acting. Her real friends, who are truly grieving, wouldn’t even think to give an interview. SO- you consciousrevolutionary, shouldn’t be so quick to judge. Greg has disrespected our beautiful Juliana and her friends and family. If you know him, pass this on:
At the request of Juliana’s friends and family, we ask that you stop the interviews. The picture you paint of her life is anything but true. Please have some respect for everyone who is grieving because of this tragic loss.
…Juliana Maureen Redding was a vibrant, intelligent, beautiful, talented, independent, brilliant, effervescent well-adjusted young woman…full of life, full of love, full of hope…and WELL on a path to success; she had just booked a national campaign as the spokesperson for a hair product firm. She was surrounded by people who loved her and was anything but ‘lonely’…between school, work, auditions/bookings, and ‘kickin’ it with her friends’ she had little time for that. She was neither pathetic nor needy and her ‘vulnerability’ was no more and no less than any other young woman of her capacity in any other metro city on earth. It is not the intent of this author to publicly speculate on what may or may not have happened to Juliana and neither should it be the intent of anyone else…especially but not limited to those who know absolutely nothing of Juliana and/or the city and environment in which she lived. The truth will come out soon enough.
Whatever happened to our beautiful Juliana is over for her; she can’t be hurt by anyone or anything any more. But this is just beginning for the people who loved her and who are left here to go on without her; they will all need our prayers…and lots of them…to remain strong and focused. May I request that you send out a prayer asking that everyone and anyone who has ANYTHING …even the most minute, seemingly insignificant bit of information, remain strong and maintain clarity of thought so that they are able to help the Santa Monica police department find the person who ended this young and promising life.
As a side? Juliana was my daughter’s best friend…and I’ve been saying shame on you, Greg for days now…I am so delighted that I am not the only one outraged by this young man’s shameless behavior…
Thank you.
Peace,
Lea Routledge

I am right with you Lea, she was a beautiful girl, inside and out. I too was at the the memorial last week, it was a beautiful and touching service.
And, Anon, you are so correct, she and Cipes dated all of two maybe three minutes and he IS using her death to promote himself. He is truly a dirtbag, and I shame him.
