Journalist Eve Barlow is getting slammed online after she was accused of doxing YouTuber That Umbrella Guy. Barlow called out the content creator was continuing to profit from the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp defamation trial even after the legal battle came to an end.
The YouTuber was also attacked by Bot Sentinel CEO Christopher Bouzy, who claimed that the creator made a million dollars a year to cover the sensational trial.
Doxing refers to the publication of private information on the internet typically done without the knowledge of the person whose information is being leaked. It is usually done with malicious intent. Eve Barlow, a journalist based out of Los Angeles, California, and a friend of Amber Heard took to Twitter to release the YouTuber's name, which has been kept private for a long time.
She claimed that That Umbrella Guy owns AmberHeard.net and EveBarlow.net. She also accused him of being a “disinformation spreader and misogynist bully.” A picture of the YouTuber was also made public on social media platforms.
That Umbrella Guy was called out by Barlow for creating surplus content on Amber Heard. Meanwhile, Christopher Bouzy also claimed that the YouTuber:
“Has a financial incentive to keep the Depp v. Heard drama going as long as possible.”
Bouzy mentioned that the content creator makes $80k a month or “$1 million a year” for his defamation trial coverage. According to Newsweek, the metrics were taken from social media statistics tracking site Socialblade. However, the publication estimated the YouTuber to be making $64,000 a month.
That Umbrella Guy also took to his own YouTube channel stating that he does not earn a million dollars a year.

A few tweets read:
How is Bot Sentinel’s CEO Christopher Bouzy related to Amber Heard?
Christopher Bouzy has been open about working with the Aquaman actress in the past. He claimed to have worked for Heard’s lawyers at Kaplan Hecker & Fink. However, he no longer works for them. He said in a tweet:
“In 2020, Amber's lawyers hired us to look at the social media activity, and even then it was obvious a lot of the activity was inauthentic.”
The YouTuber and Bouzy were involved in a social media spat since the latter was accused of monetizing from the defamation trial. He accused the businessman of being hired by Amber Heard’s PR team to attack the content creator after Heard’s defamation trial loss. That Umbrella Guy wrote in a tweet:
“Hope Heard didn't "pledge" to pay him like she did with those sick and dying kids with cancer.”
However, Bouzy has since denied being hired by Heard’s PR team.
