On the first day of his defamation trial,?Johnny Depp appeared to smirk as the lawyer of his ex-wife Amber Heard said that the actor was obsessed with Tesla CEO Elon Musk.?
The high profile trial was in the wake of a defamation case filed by Depp against Amber's article in?The Washington Post in which she claimed that she was a victim of domestic violence.?
For the unversed, Elon Musk along with?Spider-Man?actor James Franco, Paul Bettany and Ellin Barkin has been listed as possible witnesses by Amber Heard.?
Furthermore, during the?2020 libel case between Heard and Depp, his lawyer claimed that she had an affair with Musk.?
"As you go through those three days of Australia, some pretty horrendous things happened to her. He rips off her nightgown. He has her jammed up against the bar. He has hurled bottles and bottles at her. He has dragged her across the floor on the broken bottles. He has punched her."He has kicked her. He has told her he's going to f****** kill her and he f****** hates her. He's pounding at her, pounding at her. And then, he penetrates her with a liquor bottle."
On this,?Depp's spokesperson said,?"These fictitious claims were never made at the onset of Amber's allegations in 2016, and only advantageously surfaced years later once she was sued for defamation after noting in her op-ed that she was a?victim of 'sexual violence.'"
