Aussie bakery slammed for ‘tone-deaf’ Amber Heard TikToks

An Australian bakery is copping a backlash over a social media post showing an unusual order they claim they’ll be sending to Amber Heard.

Johnny Depp slammed by famous ex: "He's just a jealous man, controlling"

A bakery in Australia has been excoriated online after sharing a controversial dessert made amid the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial.

In a viral video viewed over 616,000 times, Dessert Boxes said it would be sending Heard, 36, a golden-brown doughnut in the shape of a hand with the finger chopped off, in reference to 58-year-old Depp’s testimony about his finger injury.

“We’re sending Amber Heard a dessert box. We’ll cut off the finger with a vodka bottle, throw that in for her, too,” the unknown narrator said in the video as someone puts the order together.

The vodka bottle inclusion is likely a reference to Heard’s testimony that the actor sexually assaulted her with a liquor bottle.

“And we’re sending Johnny Depp this piece,” the voice added as they show the camera the piece of doughnut meant to be the severed finger.

The caption of the video reads, “will she like it?” with a crying laughing emoji and #justiceforjohnnydepp among other related tags.

This six-second clip quickly garnered hundreds of comments with some viewers laughing along with the “dark humour” but many others condemning the video as “tone-deaf.”

“This meant to be funny????” Megan Anderson questioned on the video.

“That’s not OK,” Zara commented while another user asked, “Are you sick??”

“This is messed up,” Nunzie Madden added.

“POV: how to go out of business,” user634085706105 said.

“Oh so we laughing at people’s trauma now?” Mariam questioned.

“Jokes about dv [domestic violence] will never be funny,” _meiikeh noted.

However, not everyone was against the video.

“290+ negative comments… 15.1k+ likes… looks like you read the room just fine,” Kím Akweí noted.

“This is amazing,” Jerica Mccormick said.

Depp and Heard are locked in a defamation trial that has captivated audiences around the world — especially on TikTok — as their dramatic and horrific accusations of abuse come to light in testimonies. In fact, a recent study found that Americans care more about the Depp v. Heard trial than war, abortion and inflation.

During the trial, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor claimed in court that his ex-wife threw a vodka bottle at him which led to his finger being “severed” during a 2015 trip to Australia.

Depp is suing the “Aquaman” actress for defamation, alleging that she ruined his career and reputation after writing an op-ed in the Washington Post, in which he was not named, claiming to be a survivor of domestic abuse after their divorce in 2017.

Heard is countersuing Depp, standing firm in her accusations that her ex-husband physically and emotionally abused her on several occasions throughout their relationship.
