Katelyn Ohashi, 26, apologised after posting pictures of herself dressed as Amber Heard, 'throttling' a man in a Johnny Depp costume for Halloween. In those pictures, Ohashi dressed up as Mera, the female superhero portrayed by Heard in 'Aquaman,' while a man dressed as Jack Sparrow in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film series earlier this week. Since the Halloween costume photos went viral, she came under fire from social media users for dismissing domestic violence. I'm really sorry for the decision I made with my Halloween costume/post.' In a post on X, long known as Twitter, Ohashi wrote it was insensitive and thoughtless. "I have lived with and spoken out against violence, I know how it was wrong and want more of myself." I hope you'll forgive my apology. I will be healthier.'
