Amber Heard's former talent agent has testified that she never really loved her ex-boyfriend Elon Musk, Insider reports.
The actor is currently embroiled in a $50 million defamation lawsuit against her ex-husband Johnny Depp, who is suing her over a 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post in which she claimed to be a survivor of domestic abuse. Depp is arguing that her allegations ruined his reputation and career, and that he was the real victim in their marriage
Heard, meanwhile, is countersuing him for $100 million, claiming that he abused her on several separate instances.
Over the last two weeks, scandalous details of the celebrity couple's volatile relationship have been dragged into the spotlight as their legal teams battle it out in Fairfax County Court, Virginia.
Now, another famous name has been dragged into the saga - Tesla boss and soon-to-be Twitter owner Elon Musk.
Rumors of Musk and Heard's romance first surfaced in 2016, when Heard was finalizing her and Depp's divorce. Depp's legal team has suggested that the two relationships overlapped and that Heard cheated on her then-husband with the Tesla billionaire. According to employees at the building where Depp and Heard once lived, Musk was a frequent visitor, dropping in to see Heard on multiple occasions.
On Wednesday, Heard's former talent agent Christian Carino testified to the court in a prerecorded deposition.
Carino - who was once a close friend of Heard's - showed jurors an alleged text exchange he shared with the Aquaman star after news broke of her split from Musk in August 2017.
"You weren't in love with him and you told me a thousand times you were just filling space," Carino says he wrote in a message to Heard at the time.
She purportedly responded: "I know, but I wanted time to grieve and recover in my own time."
The talent agent went on to say that Heard "moved on immediately" from Depp to dating Musk. However, in her texts, the star made it clear she felt she had been mistreated by both.
"Yet again another man lets me fall on the spikes by myself," she wrote to Carino, adding: "They get mad for leaving me and put things like this out there."
Carino replied: "You can avoid this by not dating uber-famous people."
Although he is listed as a prospective witness for Heard's defense, it still remains to be seen whether or not Musk will take the witness stand during the trial.
