"I want to address what is one of the most thoughtless, insensitive, and ignorant things I've ever done," Hampshire said in her Wednesday statement. "For Halloween, I stupidly thought it would be funny to dress as Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. I am deeply sorry and ashamed for putting something that awful out in the universe. Domestic abuse is never, ever funny. These are real issues with real people, and I REALLY regret my actions. In the future, I will do better. I'm so sorry."
