KEY POINTS

  • Amber Heard allegedly told her former agent Christian Carino she didn't love Elon Musk
  • Heard was sad about their story going public, and Carino told her to stop dating famous people
  • Carino believed Heard was still in love with Johnny Depp even after filing for divorce 

Amber Heard's former agent Christian Carino's lengthy pre-taped deposition aired Wednesday during the ongoing defamation trial of Johnny Depp's case against his ex-wife.

In his deposition, among the things that Carino — who also briefly served as Depp's agent — discussed was her romance with Elon Musk. The "Aquaman" actress started dating the SpaceX and Tesla CEO shortly after breaking up with Depp.

Carino confirmed this when asked if Heard moved on to dating Musk "immediately after Johnny Depp." But according to him, Heard didn't really love the billionaire.

In an email on Aug. 7, 2017, Heard told Carino, "Dealing with breakup. I hate when things go public. See I'm so sad," Vanity Fair reported.

Carino said he believed Heard was referring to her breakup with Elon. So, he replied to her, as quoted by Daily Mail, "You weren't in love with him. You told me 1,000 times you were just filling space."

When asked what Carino meant by his previous message, he said, "Why would you be sad if you weren't in love with him to begin with?" Depp's lawyer asked him to identify the person he was referring to.

"Elon," he said.

In another email, Heard wrote, "I hate that, yet again a man lets me fall on the spikes by myself." Carino responded, asking her, "How so?"

Heard said they were "mad at me for leaving them and put things like this out there," referring to their romance and breakup going public.

Carino gave Heard an unsolicited advice: "You could avoid all this if you stop dating uber famous people."

When asked what he meant by his message for Heard, Carino said that if Heard did not want to be in the press, she should have kept her distance from famous people.

Carino was convinced that Heard still loved Depp even after filing for divorce. In a July 14 email, she told him, "It's so f--ked up I just want to tell him that what they're telling him isn't true." In another email sent to Carino at about the same time, the "London Fields" star wrote, "Please tell him I love him," referring to Depp.

Several netizens reacted after finding out that Musk was just Heard's rebound.

"Elon Musk was just talked about in the Johnny Depp trial as Amber Heard's rebound," one wrote with hush face and upside-down face emojis.

"Omg Elon Musk was a rebound wow. [H]oly crap that's going to hurt hearing that for the first time," another added.

"It's funny to me that she was just using Elon as a rebound all that money and hair transplant, and you're still just a rebound @elonmusk," another tweeted with multiple face with tears of joy emojis.

Musk was among Heard's potential witnesses for the ongoing defamation trial. However, his attorney, Alex Spiro, told E! News Wednesday that he would not testify in the trial.

Heard and Musk split in August 2017 after a year of dating. An unnamed source told Us Weekly they parted ways because "timing wasn't good for them." Musk was busy with his business while Heard was busy filming "Aquaman" in Australia.
