Last week Amber Heard was spotted in Israel, dining at a Tel Aviv cafe with one of her staunchest supporters, journalist Eve Barlow, who was barred from testifying in the Johnny Depp defamation trial. According to Fox News, the 36-year-old actor was with Barlow on Aug. 1 sitting at a table outside. After Depp's attorneys discovered Barlow tweeting and texting from the front row, which is reserved for attorneys, in the Fairfax, Virginia courtroom in April, for which Barlow was expelled.
As a result of Barlow disobeying a court order banning phone use, the Pirates of the Caribbean star's attorneys were successful in their motion to have Barlow permanently removed from the case. However, during the Fairfax County Circuit Court trial, Barlow continued to tweet unceasing messages of support for Heard outside of the courtroom.
The former deputy editor of the revered music publication NME and a contributor to New York magazine has denounced Depp supporters as misogynists and abusers. Online, Barlow has been viciously attacked by Depp backers.
