Lance Bass has deleted a controversial TikTok video he posted referencing Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s defamation trial. Bass, 43, posted the video on May 16 joining a popular trend on the social media app where users have lip-synced to audio of Heard’s testimony describing the first time Johnny Depp allegedly hit her. “At this point, we’re sitting next to each other on the edge of the couch,” Heard says in the court testimony. “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,” the audio continued.
