Amber Heard said she didn’t love Elon Musk in text messages read in her defamation trial Wednesday.
Johnny Depp is suing Heard, alleging his ex-wife ruined his career with domestic-violence claims.

Heard briefly dated Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla, after her marriage to Depp fell apart.

Amber Heard never really loved her ex-boyfriend Elon Musk, her former talent agent said in testimony for Johnny Depp’s defamation case against her.

Depp is suing Heard, his ex-wife, for $50 million, alleging she ruined his reputation and career by insinuating in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed that she had been the victim of domestic violence. Heard has denied the allegations, saying Depp physically assaulted her on multiple occasions before and during their marriage.

Troubles in the marriage became public in May 2016, when Heard showed up in court with a bruised face to request a restraining order against Depp. The couple’s divorce was finalized in January 2017, by which point there were already rumors of Heard moving on with Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.

On Wednesday, Depp and Heard’s former talent agent Christian Carino testified in the defamation trial via a prerecorded deposition.

In the video, Carino was shown a text-message exchange he had with Heard, once a close personal friend of his, in August 2017 after her breakup with Musk became news.

Carino testified that Heard had “moved on immediately” from Depp to date Musk.

“You weren’t in love with him and you told me a thousand times you were just filling space,” Carino told Heard when she complained about the breakup making the news.

“I know, but I wanted time to grieve and recover in my own time,” Heard responded.

“Yet again another man lets me fall on the spikes by myself,” Heard added. “They get mad for leaving me and put things like this out there.”

Carino responded by saying, “You can avoid this by not dating uber-famous people.”

When exactly Heard started dating Musk is somewhat opaque. The first reports date to July 2016. Depp’s legal team has suggested she cheated on Depp with Musk, and employees of the building where Depp and Heard once shared an apartment have said that the billionaire visited Heard on multiple occasions.

Musk — who this week bought Twitter — is listed as a prospective witness for Heard, but it remains unclear whether he will be called to testify in the case.
