In Bass' video, using Heard's testimony as voice-over, the former NSYNC member stumbles into a room, perches on a sofa, and rolls on the carpet as someone off-screen throws a few leaves at him; meanwhile, Heard recalls, "I was just sitting there on this carpet, looking at the dirty carpet, wondering how I wound up on this carpet and why I never noticed that the carpet was so filthy before."
Heard's testimony refers to the first time Depp allegedly struck her after an exchange about Depp's Winona Ryder tattoo
"I've heard of dirty pop," Bass wrote in the caption, referencing "Pop," a 2001 NSYNC song, "but dirty carpet… that's a new one." In a comment, he added, "In honor of the trial starting back up …Had 👏 to 👏 do 👏 it!"
While some praised Bass for his video, others criticized him for making light of abuse. "This trial is about domestic violence, emotional abuse, and sexual assault," one Twitter user wrote Tuesday. "And this is what Lance Bass is choosing to do. These folks really are determined to dissuade victims from ever coming forward again."
In the latest developments in the Depp defamation trial, now in its fifth week, Heard's sister, former makeup artist, and more testified on her behalf, with Heard's former friends stating under oath that they feared for her safety.
Representatives for Bass did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.
