Drew Barrymore has apologized for making light of the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial after receiving backlash over a recent discussion on her daytime talk show.

The actor addressed the backlash to a conversation on The Drew Barrymore Show in a video posted on Instagram Sunday, expressing her regret over the segment, which viewers criticized as insensitive given the domestic abuse allegations at the center of the case.

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, she said.

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, she added.

Barrymore concluded her video message by thanking viewers for helping me grow along the way and teaching me.

In a sit-down with guest Anthony Anderson on the show last week, the pair gleefully discussed the insanity of Depp and Heards ongoing defamation trial.

Its like one layer of crazy, its a seven-layer dip of insanity, Barrymore, barely containing her laughter, told Anderson, who went on to mock some of the more sensational details of the case, including Depp writing on walls with his own blood after an alleged altercation with Heard.

I know that these are two peoples real lives and I know what its like to have your life put out in public, she added. I understand all the feelings, but they are actually offering up this information.
