Drew Barrymore apologized for what some called “insensitive” comments on the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial. On her show she said the trial was “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!”

In a video posted on her Instagram account, she said: “It has come to my attention that I have offended people with making light of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard and for that I just want to deeply apologize and appreciate everyone who spoke out because this can be a teachable moment for me and how I move forward and how I conduct myself.
“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.
“And I thank everyone helping me grow along the way and teaching me. Thank you.”
