Emily Hampshire expressed deep remorse over her Halloween costume selection this year. The actress, famous for her role in “Schitt’s Creek,” used a social media platform on Wednesday to express her heartfelt apology for dressing as Johnny Depp and Amber Heard with a companion. She had shared images of herself wearing false tattoos and holding a wine bottle while her companion depicted a tearful Heard. However, faced with a wave of criticism online, she promptly removed those photos.
During her apology on Wednesday, Hampshire acknowledged her actions as thoughtless, insensitive, and uninformed. She admitted that it was a grave mistake to think impersonating Johnny Depp and Amber Heard would be humorous. Her regret was profound, and she expressed shame for her actions.
She added that joking about domestic violence is in no way acceptable as it involves real problems affecting real individuals. She emphasized her regret and promised to act more responsibly in the future, reiterating her apology.
Hampshire is recognized for her portrayal of Stevie Budd, the motel clerk in the successful CBC series “Schitt’s Creek.” Her character initially encounters conflict but eventually forms a bond with the Rose family, who have fallen from affluence and relocated to the small town of Schitt’s Creek.
