Actress Drew Barrymore was one of those who made a public statement on the case, despite her lack of connection to either party involved. Originally, she called the trial “a seven-layer dip of insanity” on her daytime talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show. She went on to seemingly criticize how public the trial is and how open the parties are with this very personal information. However, fans didn’t find what she said appealing and instead were offended by her making light of the situation.

To make things right, Barrymore took to her Instagram page and made a public video apology. In the video, she apologizes for making statements that offended or hurt people and made light of a serious situation. She says that all she wants is to be a good person and that she looks at this criticism as a teachable moment in how to conduct herself going forward. Barrymore also thanks those who called her out, saying they were able to teach her and help her grow.

While the case between Depp and Heard is technically one of defamation, the heart of the matter revolves around domestic violence. Heard initially claimed that Depp had physically abused her in their marriage, however, in the years that followed, the narrative that the public believes has become more divided on what actually happened. As this is such a serious subject, fans don’t want to see or hear it being made light of.

It was Depp’s choice to file the claim and to live-stream the trial. His case revolves around a Washington Post op-ed that Heard had written detailing her experience coming forward as someone in the public eye who was a domestic violence survivor. He claims that this caused him damages with regard to his career and reputation, and has taken the chance with his testimony to try and prove he in fact was the victim and that she lied. So far, the public has been very much on his side, but the trial still has at least two weeks left to go and Heard has yet to plead her case or give a testimony.

Barrymore is not the only one to make light of this situation. Throughout the trial, there have been several bizarre occurrences and behaviors from both sides, though mostly by Heard and her lawyers. They’ve become the subject of many memes and compilations, with a lot of the public finding things about this case humorous.
