Drew Barrymore – Apologizes For Making Fun Of Johnny Depp And Amber Heard’s Defamation Lawsuit Following Backlash From Fans

Drew Barrymore is now admitting that laughing off Depp and Heard’s lawsuit as if it was nothing was wrong. While discussing the court proceedings on her talk show with guest Anthony Anderson last week, the 47-year-old called the public lawsuit a “seven-layer dip of insanity.”

The two stars laughed and made fun of some of the peculiar things that have been brought up during testimonies.

“It’s so fascinating. 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,” she said in the segment.

Twitter users took issue with Drew Barrymore for how she flippantly chatted about the lawsuit, with one fan saying that they had “lost all respect” for the actress. “How would she feel if people laughed at her childhood trauma.” Another person said, “I love you, but what is this? … Abuse is not funny.”

Barrymore — who has met Depp before and has interviewed his actress daughter Lily-Rose Depp on her show — apologized for her former comments, promising to be “more thoughtful” moving forward.

    I was offended that someone was offended. That's a joke. I'm not invested in this.
