Is Amber Heard in yet another trouble? According to reports, the Aquaman star has been accused of domestic violence for the second time, almost three months after losing the high-profile defamation lawsuit against ex-husband Johnny Depp.
She is facing domestic assault charges following accusations of a physical assault with her rumoured girlfriend Eve Barlow.
According to International Business Times, Heard left Barlow bruised following a physical fight in a hotel in Israel, where she is vacationing with daughter Oonagh Paige. Her daughter was not with the actress when the alleged fight took place.
The publication quoted a Twitter user claiming, “I have heard from a friend that Amber and Eve had a fight in the hotel room in Israel. There was noise like a fight happening in the room where Amber and Eve were in.”
The user also claimed that the hallway camera in the hotel caught them fighting and that Barlow “left the hotel with a blackeye.”
There is no valid proof to confirm the user’s claim or that the fight happened at all. It is also claimed that during the fight, Heard had dragged Barlow back into their hotel room.
Sharing a picture on Twitter, the user wrote, “Hotel security in Tel Aviv says they witnessed a BLOWOUT FIGHT between Amber Heard and her girlfriend Eve Barlow where Amber was seen DRAGGING Eve back into her hotel room.”
Barlow, however, tweeted hinting no such incident ever happened. “I will never relent from defending the truth and standing by Amber Heard. This is sick and debilitating. It’s enough to ruin a person’s life, livelihood and contribute to irreparable damage to one’s mental and physical health. Caveat emptor,” she wrote.
Recently, Heard was also been accused of “renting” her 1-year-old daughter for photo ops. Some claims that she does not really have a child at all and that she used Oonagh, who is born out of a surrogate, as a ploy to gain sympathy during her trial with Depp.

Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
