The ongoing legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has taken a new twist, with billionaire Elon Musk becoming a prominent figure in the case.
Depp accused Musk of having an extramarital affair with his then-wife Amber. The connection between Musk and Amber dates back to when they were frequently seen together. In 2017, Amber Heard confirmed her relationship with Elon Musk by tweeting a selfie of them kissing. While they appeared to be involved romantically, there was no mention or suggestion of a threesome involving them. Rumors also circulated about actress Cara Delevingne being part of their alleged romance.
Amber Heard and Elon Musk started dating after her divorce from Johnny Depp. Their relationship reportedly became serious following Amber Heard's divorce in January 2016, while Musk finalized his divorce from Talulah Riley in October 2015. The couple initially bonded on the set of the film Machete Kills.
According to a statement made by Josh Drew, the former husband of Heard's friend Raquel Pennington (not the MMA fighter), during Depp's trial in November 2019, Heard was involved in a three-way affair with Delevingne and Musk while still married to Depp. It's worth noting that from February 2015 to May 2016, Heard and Depp were married. At the time, Drew was reportedly living in one of Depp's Los Angeles apartments rent-free.
Elon Musk has vehemently denied the existence of the alleged threesome. He clarified that he and Cara Delevingne are friends, but there has never been any involvement between them. Musk further stated that his relationship with Amber began about a month after he filed for divorce, emphasizing that he was not close to her during her marriage to Depp. He expressed a desire for everyone involved in the litigation to resolve their differences and move on, suggesting that dwelling on negativity is not productive.
While Cara Delevingne has not responded to the rumors, it remains a possibility that she and Musk may be called upon to testify during the trial, either in person or via video link.
During the fifth day of the trial, Johnny Depp clarified his motivation for suing Amber Heard for $50 million in damages, asserting that his primary objective is to seek the truth. He refuted claims of ever physically harming Heard or any other woman, emphasizing their initial compatibility and shared interests. Depp described a time of happiness and mutual understanding during their relationship but expressed disappointment at how their dynamic dramatically changed over time.
