KEY POINTS

  • Elon Musk was photographed with a black eye with Amber Heard
  • Johnny Depp claimed that Amber Heard had a history of domestic abuse as perpetrator
  • Johnny Depp's exes said he was never violent or abusive toward them 

Elon Musk was photographed with a black eye with Amber Heard and it only inflamed the latter’s history of domestic abuse.

Johnny Depp and Heard’s relationship didn’t end well, with the latter accusing the former of being violent and abusive. However, audio recordings of Heard confessing that she started their fights and she hit Depp leaked, and this convinced many that the victim was actually Depp and not her.

After her separation from Depp, Heard dated the CEO of SpaceX. However, in the past weeks, photos of Musk where he appeared to have a black eye circulated online. In the photographs he is with Heard, triggering many to wonder if she gave it to him.

According to Sausage Roll, the outlet which shared the photos, after Depp exposed Heard, many are convinced that Musk’s cut and bruise under his right eye was because of Heard. An insider also said before their split made headlines that they ended their relationship because the technology entrepreneur had enough of her “manipulative and selfish behavior.”

“He ended it a week ago. He’d heard certain things about her behaviour that didn’t sit well with him. Amber can be very manipulative and selfish. Elon’s back in Los Angeles while she’s licking her wounds in Australia,” the insider said.

At the time, Heard and Musk were still photographed holding hands in public and a source who knew the billionaire said that it was just an attempt to keep up with appearances because Musk is not a confrontational person. He is very relaxed and would want to avoid drama at all costs.

Heard and Musk remain friends even after their separation. In fact, the Tesla CEO commented in one of Heard’s posts on Instagram after their breakup with “V cute” along with a heart emoji, sparking rumors of a potential reconciliation, which didn’t happen.

Depp pointed out in one of his statements that Heard had a history of domestic abuse as perpetrator. In 2009, Heard was booked for “misdemeanor domestic violence” after she physically assaulted her then-girlfriend Tasya van Ree at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Heard spent the night in jail but was released the following day because both were residents of California and were only passing through the Washington State.

Depp’s exes have already spoken out about the abuse allegations and they all said that he was never abusive or violent toward them.
