Johnny Depp Claims Amber Heard Began a Relationship with Elon Musk 'One Month' Into Their Marriage

Johnny Depp claims ex-wife Amber Heard began a relationship with Tesla founder Elon Musk "no later than one month" after their marriage in 2015

By Alexia Fernández

Johnny Depp is accusing Amber Heard of beginning a romantic relationship with Tesla founder Elon Musk “no later than one month after” she and Depp married in 2015.

The claims come from the 55-year-old’s defamation lawsuit against Heard, 32, in which he is seeking $50 million in damages after the Aquaman actress wrote an op-ed characterizing herself as a domestic abuse victim.

In the lawsuit obtained by PEOPLE, Depp claims Heard received “late night” visits from billionaire businessman Musk at the L.A. penthouse Depp and Heard shared while Depp was out of the country. Depp goes on to claim Musk was granted access to his home the same night Heard “presented her battered face to the public.” His lawsuit alleges Heard’s domestic violence allegations against Depp were false and “an elaborate hoax.”

Depp and Heard split in May 2016. A rep for Musk maintains that “Elon and Amber didn’t start seeing each other until May 2016, and even then it was infrequent. Their relationship didn’t become romantic until some time later.”

Heard’s attorney, Eric M. George said in a statement, “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,” the statement continued. “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.”
