As many celebrities opine on the ongoing Johnny Depp-Amber Heard legal battle, the latest on the list is Drew Barrymore. The actress discussed the defamation trial on Friday's The Drew Barrymore Show episode alongside guest Anthony Anderson. However, her comments on the ongoing court case were not taken well by netizens.
While discussing the trial on her show, Barrymore claimed that she "can't handle" it. She also mentioned that it was- "like one layer of crazy, it’s a seven-layer dip of insanity."
The 47-year-old actress also said that it was "so fascinating" before sharing:
"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!”
Since the episode aired, netizens expressed disappointment in the actress as she spoke about the trial in a light-hearted manner, which was also deemed "insensitive."

On Sunday, May 1, Drew Barrymore took to her Instagram profile and apologized for her remarks. The Blended actress said:
"Hi, 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 conduct myself."
The actress turned television host added that she is learning how to be a "more thoughtful and better person" in the future as all she wishes to be is a "good person." The actress added:
"I very much appreciate the depth of this and I will grow and change from it."
Drew Barrymore ended her Instagram statement by saying:
“I thank everyone for helping me grow along the way and teaching me. Thank you.”
What has been uncovered in the legal battle in recent days?
The American Civil Liberties Union shared that they had not received $3.5 million from Amber Heard after the actress pledged to donate half of her divorce settlement to the organization and the sum to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
ACLU executives shared that they have received only $1.3 million, including $500 000 from a fund tied to Elon Musk. Heard was reportedly in a brief relationship with the new Twitter owner.
It was also revealed that the Aquaman actress could not fulfill the remainder of the pledge as she had financial problems.
Dr. Shannon Curry, a forensic psychologist, brought in by Johnny Depp's legal team, also claimed that Heard has a borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder.
The two are reportedly marked by "much anger, cruelty towards people who are less powerful and attention-seeking."
Curry added that the behavior is driven "by an underlying fear of abandonment."
Curry also shared that those battling histrionic personality disorders need to be the center of attention, and the disorder is linked to "drama and shallowness."
