She may have been fired from a Virginia courtroom, but Amber Heard’s best friend is certainly free to go on vacation with the actress.
Heard and Eve Barlow — who was thrown out of the $50 million defamation lawsuit against Johnny Depp — were recently spotted having lunch in Tel Aviv, Israel.
An Israeli journalist tweeted in a jiffy from the friends who ate at an open-air restaurant last week. In the photo, the actress wore two French braids and minimal makeup, while Barlow opted for an equally casual white tank top.
The day before, Heard, 36, was photographed pushing a stroller. She has been exploring the city with 1-year-old daughter Oonagh Paige Heard.

Though Heard didn’t mention Depp in the piece, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star claimed his ex-wife made up the abuse allegations – which he claimed had damaged his career – in an attempt to score a major divorce settlement.
In 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 small win over her opponent, with the jury awarding her $2 million in compensatory damages but $0 in punitive damages.
She has since asked the judge to dismiss the jury’s verdict.
