After receiving backlash for making light of domestic violence, NSYNCs Lance Bass deleted a TikTok video he posted this week that mocked Amber Heards testimony about the first time Johnny Depp allegedly hit her.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star is suing Heard for $50 million over a 2018 Washington Post editorial that described her as a victim of domestic violence and implied that Depp was the perpetrator, although it did not name him.

Few celebrities have publicly commented on the high-profile trial, which began in mid-April. Depps fandom, however, has been incredibly vocal online, turning moments from the trial into widely shared memes.

Bass decided to join the fray with a 30-second video that shows him acting out a scene Heard described on the stand earlier this month.

Heard said that when she asked about a faded tattoo Depp had on his arm, he told her it said wino, which she took as a joke, laughing it off. But then Depp smacked her across the face, she said, explaining that she was taken off guard, and laughed again because she didnt know what else to do.

Depp allegedly turned on her, saying, in Heards telling, You think its funny, bitch? You think youre a funny bitch? before slapping her again. Upon hitting her a third time, Heard said she lost her balance on the edge of the couch where she was sitting.

Bass filmed himself wobbling on the edge of a gray couch before crawling down to the floor as Heards audio played: I was just sitting there on this carpet, looking at the dirty carpet wondering how I ended up on this carpet.

Had to do it! Bass captioned his video.
