The statements made by Fike were in reference to the serious allegations that Amber Heard assaulted Johnny Depp. The defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has been broadcasted online over the past six weeks and has revealed personal details of their relationship publicly.

Ashlee Mitchell, who goes by the username @itgirlash, is a student at Northwestern University and attended the concert Fike performed at. She made a TikTok describing the situation further. She claims that the audience was in shock and the comments were made seemingly out of the blue. Later, she heard Fike tell his audience, “I just want to see how much I can say and get away with.”
