Drew Barrymore has apologized for commenting on the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial.
Johnny Depp launched a defamation lawsuit against Heard in 2019, after the Aquaman star described herself as a victim of domestic abuse in a 2018 article she penned in The Washington Post. The trial began Monday 11 April in Fairfax, Virginia.
Talking about the outcome of the televised trial, the Charlie’s Angels actress said on her talk show The Drew Barrymore Show:
“It’s like one layer of crazy, it’s a seven-layer dip of insanity. I know that these are two people’s real lives and I know what it’s like to have your life put out in public.”
“I understand all the feelings, but they are actually offering up this information that nobody had to know. This is crazy!”
Barrymore received an overwhelming influx of criticism, with some fans of the show calling her ‘insensitive’.

“I can be a more thoughtful and better person moving forward because all I want to do is be a good person and I very much appreciate the depth of this and I will grow and change from it.”
