People are, and I cannot stress this enough, idiots.

They were idiots long before social media afforded them a large audience in front of which to be idiots, and idiots they shall remain.

Amber Heard is currently in the midst of a $50 million defamation case brought against her by Johnny Depp and has countersued for $100 million.

Both parties have taken the stand and outlined, often in excruciating detail, accusations against one another.

Do you really, really think Heard is going to try and secretly hoover up a line while on the stand in the middle of a televised trial? Apparently, some people do:

Did Amber Heard just snort Cocaine in court?? 😮 #JusticeForJohnny #DeppVsHeard #IStandWithJohnnyDepp pic.twitter.com/1tRzpZ9asi

Judging by the hashtags, that chap might not be an impartial observer.

But soon, the video was everywhere and so were the hot takes:

WOW! Looks like AMBER is SNORTING COCAINE right in front of the Judge and Jury and the Bailiff during that Crazy Trial. What happens now? Mistrial ? You can’t do BLOW in the courtroom!! https://t.co/HMQ7d93vY1

Kelly is a right-wing host on Newsmax, by the way, with more than 500 000 followers.

Latestly has picked through the replies and found plenty of believers:

Anyone who has ever done it knows EXACTLY what she just did. There is no doubt about it.

She sure as hell did. She had it in her tissue and snorted it up in court. I’m totally convinced that’s exactly what she did…

And so it goes on:

Did #AmberHeard snort coke ON THE STAND?!?

I was once an addict and I’ve seen this sht before. She just straight did a bump on the stand then double take the judge to make sure she didn’t see.#amberheardisapsychopath #JusticeForJohnny @PopcornedPlanet https://t.co/5Z6ZMuefA9

There’s a wonderful irony in that username – ‘bekind’, you say?
