Following comments made on The Drew Barrymore Show that “offended” some viewers, Drew Barrymore has issued a public apology in a video posted to Instagram. In recent weeks, there has been a lot of attention on the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. It’s gotten so much press that it’s pretty much impossible to outright ignore the story, and Barrymore made the following remarks on her television show about what she’d been observing.
There had been some backlash over these remarks from some viewers feeling that the trial was inappropriate to joke about, and this feedback made its way to Barrymore. It has left her feeling remorseful for “making light” of the situation, and in the apology video she posted on Instagram, Barrymore hopes that it will serve as a teaching moment for her. Ultimately, her goal is to be the best person she can possibly be. As Barrymore says in the clip:

Drew Barrymore Is Not the Only Celebrity to Weigh In
Film District
While Drew Barrymore seems to be the only major celebrity who has apologized for it, she is far from the first to comment on the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial. Recently, shock jock Howard Stern let loose with controversial comments berating Depp for “overacting” in his trial. Stern also called Depp a “narcissist” and accused him of faking an accent, as he doesn’t have a Kentucky drawl despite being born in the state. It’s unclear if Stern knows that Depp’s family moved frequently during his childhood.
The situation has also gotten a lot of attention from famous comics on their podcasts, such as Joe Rogan’s The Joe Rogan Experience and Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast. The comments made on those podcasts were significantly more colorful than what Drew Barrymore said on her daily talk show. Be that as it may, no one should expect to hear an apology from Stern, Rogan, or Burr on the matter anytime soon.
