Recently actors and married couple Johnny Depp and Amber Heard created a controversy by trying to smuggle their two dogs into Australia on a visit while trying to evade that country’s strict quarantine laws. He got caught but was allowed to leave without suffering the serious punishment (that could go up to ten years in prison) that a non-celebrity might have received. He later provided a video of a grudging apology.
Stephen Colbert decided to make an apology on Depp’s behalf too.
It’s so UNFAIR!! He’s SPECIAL!!
Oh for…they didn’t even try to act sorry. I couldn’t even understand Depp’s last, I think it was supposed to be the tiny apology?
Caine:
Heh. They’re both actors, they were in front of a camera.
So yeah, they acted exactly how they wanted to act.
(Best as I can tell, it was taken in good humour by Aussies)

Mano, Amber was the culprit and she was the person convicted and given a one-month behaviour bond; to me, your summary is anachronistically focused on the husband as the agent.
(Mr and Mrs Johnny Depp!)
This is one Australian youtube channel’s take on the video:
Correlation and causation, always tricky.
In the news: Johnny Depp’s wife Amber Heard files for divorce after 15-month marriage, reports say.
