A bizarre and disturbing trend has swept across TikTok over the last several days: Dozens of posts on the short-form video service - some amassing millions of views - have used video or audio from Amber Heard's wrenching testimony in the Johnny Depp trial, with the creators of the videos dramatically reenacting it, performing dances to it or otherwise mocking her.

The trend includes a video, which has more than 30 million views in five days, of Heard emotionally testifying on the stand overlaid with a clip of Kim Kardashian in a judge's robe from a Saturday Night Live sketch saying, "Ew, this is so cringe. Guilty."
