Johnny Depp Files $50 Million Defamation Lawsuit Against Amber Heard
The lawsuit additionally claims that Heard began a relationship with Tesla founder Elon Musk “no later than one month after” her and Depp wed. Depp claims Heard received “late night” visits from Musk, with his lawyers saying they’ve deposed members from the building’s security team to testify.
He goes on to claim Musk was granted access to his home the same night “she presented her battered face to the public.”
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 and Musk were first publicly linked together in 2016. The two broke up in August 2017 due to their busy schedules but rekindled their romance in January 2018 only to split for a second time a month later.
Depp is suing for compensatory damages following the op-ed, as well as punitive damages for the “willfulness and maliciousness that Ms. Heard demonstrated when she knowingly published the op-ed with the false implication that Mr. Depp violently abused her.”
