KEY POINTS

  • Johnny Depp accused Amber Heard and Elon Musk of having an affair
  • Elon Musk's team denied that he had an affair with Amber Heard
  • Amber Heard and Johnny Depp were already separated when the actress was photographed with Elon Musk

Johnny Depp accused Amber Heard of having an affair with Elon Musk while she was still married to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star.

In the lawsuit obtained by People, Depp alleged that Heard received late-night visits from Musk while he was out of the country filming. The actor also said that Musk was allowed entry into his and Heard’s home on the same night that the “Aquaman” star stepped out in public with her battered face.

However, a representative for Musk denied Depp’s claims. He said that Heard and Musk did not start seeing each other until May 2016. This was the month that Heard and Depp separated. Musk’s representative also said that Heard and Musk’s relationship didn’t become romantic until a few months later.

“This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard. She will not be silenced. Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior. But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self-destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team.” Heard’s attorney, Eric M. George told the publication.

Meanwhile, Depp’s $50 million defamation case against Heard will head to trial after the coronavirus pandemic. The former couple was scheduled to face each other in court last week but Depp had the meeting adjourned due to the global health pandemic.

However, Heard’s team was not convinced that this is the real reason why Depp had the trial canceled. They said that Depp refused to face his ex-wife in court because he’s afraid that the truth will finally come out.

“Today’s decision leaves it to a jury to decide the meaning of Ms. Heard’s op-ed and the truth of what she said. As we have said, the courts have strong mechanisms in place for determining the truth. Here, we remain confident that Ms. Heard will prevail at trial when the jury is presented with evidence on the question that the Court identified – namely, whether ‘Ms. Heard was abused by Mr. Depp,’” they told Deadline.
