Amber Heard’s longtime supporter and friend Eve Barlow recently took to Twitter to take a dig at Johnny Depp’s recent performance with Jeff Beck.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star recently left fans surprised after joining Beck at his show in Sheffield ahead of the verdict of his ongoing defamation trial against Amber Heard. Shortly after the performance, Barlow shaded Depp online by calling him a “domestic abuse victim” and saying that he was a “canceled” artist:

She further showed her support for Amber Heard and spoke about her alleged PTSD with the hashtag #IStandWithAmberHeard:

Depp rejoined Beck onstage for the second time in a row at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Sunday. The duo performed their 2020 collaboration, a remake of John Lennon’s 1970 song titled Isolation. The pair also covered Marvin Gay's What's Going On and Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing.

Barlow’s latest social media attack on Depp comes after she was banned from the Fairfax County Court in April for possessing and using a cellphone during Depp and Amber Heard’s ongoing defamation trial.

A look into Eve Barlow’s friendship with Amber Heard

Former music journalist Eve Barlow has often made news during Amber Heard’s ongoing defamation trial against her ex-husband Johnny Depp. Multiple sources have previously shared that Barlow has been Heard’s “rock” during her ongoing legal battle.

Barlow is known for being Heard’s close friend and active supporter and has long advocated for the #IStandWithAmberHeard campaign on social media. The journalist was consistently photographed with Heard and her legal team during the first three days of the defamation trial.

However, she was later banned from entering the courtroom for using her cellphone to text and tweet during the trial. As per official rules, members of Depp and Heard’s respective legal teams are the only individuals allowed to use their phones inside the court.

According to court transcripts obtained by Page Six, Judge Penny Azcarate announced Barlow’s dismissal from the courtroom:

“She was tweeting live from my courtroom… and I know the deputies took her out because she was texting. That’s against the court order. Ms. Barlow is not coming back into the courtroom during this trial.”

Inside sources further confirmed the incident while speaking to the publication last month:

“Amber had her closest journalist friend sit front and center — with her legal team — at the trial, live-tweeting, texting and posting information. Eve Barlow seems to think she’s part of Amber’s legal team. Depp’s lawyers finally had enough and had her barred from the courtroom.”

The sources also said that Eve Barlow was “inseparable” from Heard for the past year. The journalist previously called out women who supported Depp and claimed that they were jealous of Heard’s appearance:

Barlow went on to say that Heard had to “fight for her life” and had to survive the alleged abuse and legal troubles at the hands of Depp without a “savior”:

In another tweet, she claimed that people despised Heard as she survived her ongoing battles:

“The horrible truth is that people love dead victims more than living ones. People are mad that Amber Heard survived.”

More recently, Barlow criticized the TikTok trend, which saw social media users mocking and re-enacting Heard’s testimony about being allegedly abused by Johnny Depp. She wrote at the time:

“Listen, anyone protecting the TikTok abuse of Amber Heard is acting in bad faith. You can’t argue that it doesn’t have a chilling effect on survivors from coming forward. Anyone actively mocking testimony about abuse is contributing to that silencing. Period.”

Eve Barlow hails from Giffnock, Glasgow, and is currently based in Los Angeles, California. She has often been photographed alongside Amber Heard and her daughter Oonagh Paige Heard.
