The Amber Heard-Johnny Depp defamation trial has been going on for several weeks now, and it's been a hot topic online and in general.

On a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the host and actor Anthony Anderson talked about the trial in a lighthearted fashion. Drew referred to it as a "seven-layer dip of insanity."

The clip was originally shared on the show's Twitter account, but it looks like it's been deleted since.

"It's so fascinating," she said on the show. "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."

Needless to say, people weren't thrilled about the segment — and Drew has responded to criticism in a video posted to Instagram.

"It has come to my attention that I have offended people with making light of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard," she said.

"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."

"I can be a more thoughtful and better person moving forward, because all I want to do is be a good person."

Drew went on to say she "appreciate[s]" the "depth" of her remarks on the lawsuit, and that she'll "grow and change" from the experience.
