Amber Heard Vacations With Pal Who Was Barred From Johnny Depp Trial

Published

on

She may have been dismissed from a Virginia courtroom, but Amber Heard’s best friend is certainly free to vacation with the actress.

Heard and Eve Barlow — who was kicked out of the former’s $50 million defamation trial against Johnny Depp — were recently spotted grabbing lunch in Tel Aviv, Israel.

An Israeli journalist tweeted a snap of the pals dining at an outdoor restaurant last week. In the picture, the actress sported two french braids and minimal makeup, while Barlow opted for a similarly casual white tank top.

The day before, Heard, 36, was photographed pushing a stroller. She’s been exploring the city with 1-year-old daughter Oonagh Paige Heard.

As Page Six exclusively reported, Barlow was dramatically ejected from the highly publicized Depp-Heard trial in April for “live-tweeting, texting and posting information” while sitting in the front row, which is usually reserved for legal counsel.

Sources from inside the Fairfax, Va., courtroom told us at the time that the British music journalist found herself in hot water with the judge, Penney S. Azcarate, over her behavior, which allegedly also included attempting to intervene in the trial over Depp-friendly witness Gina Deuters.

Judge Azcarate ultimately granted Depp’s attorneys’ motion to have Barlow permanently barred from the proceedings, announcing that the former deputy editor of New Musical Express (NME) would “not [be] coming back into the courtroom during this trial.”

In 2019, Depp, 59, sued Heard — to whom he had been married from 2015 to 2017 — after she wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post about surviving domestic violence. The “Aquaman” actress countersued the actor for $100 million in 2020.

While Heard did not name Depp in the piece, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star alleged that his ex-wife fabricated the abuse allegations — which he claimed damaged his career — in an attempt to score a large divorce settlement.

n June, Depp’s name was cleared when he won the case and was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Heard had a minor victory in her countersuit, with the jury awarding her $2 million in compensatory damages but $0 in punitive damages.

She has since asked the judge to reject the jury’s verdict.

Keira Knightley Ponders a Swashbuckling Comeback in the Next Pirates of the Caribbean Installment

In a recent interview with Collider,Knightley was asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Elizabeth Swann in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. She responded by saying that she has not yet been approached about the project, but would definitely consider it if the opportunity arises.

“I don’t know if it’s happening,” Knightley said. “I haven’t heard anything about it. But, you know, I would always be open to the idea of revisiting Elizabeth Swann. It was a huge part of my life and career, and I’m very fond of the character.”

Knightley first appeared as Elizabeth Swann in the original “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003. She continued to play the character in the following two sequels, “Dead Man’s Chest” and “At World’s End,” before sitting out the fourth installment, “On Stranger Tides.”

While Knightley’s character was not present in “On Stranger Tides,” the film still managed to gross over $1 billion worldwide. The most recent entry in the franchise, “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” was released in 2017 and also went on to earn over $794 million globally.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs in recent years. Johnny Depp, who played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow, was dropped from the series following allegations of domestic abuse. The studio has since announced that it is planning to reboot the franchise with a new cast and crew.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of the franchise, Knightley’s potential return to the series would undoubtedly be a welcome sight for fans. Her portrayal of Elizabeth Swann was a key factor in the success of the early “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, and her absence from the later entries was felt by many.

Knightley has remained busy in the years since her last “Pirates” film, taking on a variety of roles in both independent and big-budget productions. She has been nominated for two Academy Awards for her performances in “Pride & Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” and has also appeared in films such as “Atonement,” “Anna Karenina,” and “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”

Whether or not Knightley ultimately returns to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, her fans can look forward to seeing her in a variety of upcoming projects. She is set to star in the upcoming biographical drama “Silent Night,” as well as the action thriller “The Essex Serpent
