Actor Johnny Depp created a media firestorm this month when he compared enduring a photo shoot to being raped in an interview in Vanity Fair. But within hours of being called out for his comments by RAINN, he acknowledged his misstep and emailed RAINN a heartfelt apology.

Dear RAINN,

I am truly sorry for offending anyone in any way. I never meant to. It was a poor choice of words on my part in an effort to explain a feeling. I understand there is no comparison and I am very regretful. In an effort to correct my lack of judgment, please accept my heartfelt apology.

Sincerely, Johnny Depp

I wish more people would make these kinds of apologies.
