Among the top viewed videos, was one belonging to sansanjovs, which features a mocking reenactment of Heard's testimony. The video has received approximately 10 million views.

Another video featuring a cross-over between Heard's emotional testimony and a clip of Kim Kardashian in a judge’s robe from a Saturday Night Live sketch racked up over 30 million views in five days. In the video, Kim says, "This makes me cringe. Guilty!"

Meanwhile, the social media platform, TikTok, has reportedly taken a step and removed numerous videos which they say violated their anti-bullying policies.

Earlier, Heard broke down on the witness stand as she testified against her ex-husband and said that he sexually assaulted her with a liquor bottle and threatened her life shortly after they got hitched.

Depp, testified earlier in the trial that he never hit Heard and argued that she was the one who was the abuser.
