Are videos of women being kicked out of court for outfits described as "inappropriate" real? No, that's not true: Multiple low-quality viral videos following the same script show signs of AI. Evidence of AI origin includes abnormal hand anatomy and a judge's podium at the back of the courtroom instead of the front.
The claim appeared in a video (archived here) published on TikTok on December 7, 2025. The caption read:
woman shows up to court in gym clothes and gets kicked out of the courtroom by judge#court.
The video showed the following exchange:
JUDGE: Get out!
WOMAN: What? I didn't even say anything yet.
JUDGE: You are not allowed in here dressed like that, no way.
WOMAN: I mean, what do I wear then? Never been here before.
JUDGE: Ask someone outside the room... go.
WOMAN: So like, do I come back? Or is this like jail right now?
JUDGE: Just get out.
This is what the post looked like on TikTok at the time of writing:

Early in the video, one of the woman's hands that looks more or less normal for most of the video shapeshifts from its anatomically incorrect appearance in the first frame:

Within the next few seconds, the pendant on her neck disappears and reappears again on its own:

Another telling sign pointing to AI appears in the background. It's a man's hand growing out of his chair's armrest:

The account on TikTok that published this video spread other similar clips:
The clip displayed a watermark that led to a Facebook account (archived here) labeled as a "digital creator":

The same account posted other videos that claimed to authentically show women being removed from other courtrooms (for example, here and here):

As seen in the composite image above, in one of the videos, one of the woman's fingers didn't move, unlike the rest of her hand; in another clip, the woman approaching the judge somehow had the judge's podium behind her. Additionally, the bailiff did nothing to prevent her from entering the courtroom, although people are generally not allowed to be barefoot in courts (archived here).
