“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.”
She continued: ““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.” During the hit CBC show’s run Hampshire played motel clerk Stevie Budd, who clashes then ultimately becomes friends with the formerly wealthy Rose family after they move to the eponymously named town Schitt’s Creek.
