Elon Musk has 13 words to say about the trial of his ex-girlfriend Amber Heard against Johnny Depp.
Billionaire Elon Musk has praised his ex-girlfriend Amber Heard’s legal battle with Johnny Depp as the jury began deliberations after presenting the final arguments in court.
The Tesla founder, who allegedly dated Heard while she was married to Depp, tweeted on Saturday about the high-profile trial of Hollywood stars.
“I hope they both move on. At their best, they are all amazing,” he tweeted.
The founder of Tesla and Space X was accused by Depp of having a trio with model Cara Delevingne and Heard at his Los Angeles home while out of filming, a claim the billionaire has denied.
Musk also became a focal point in the trial when former Depp agent Christian Carino took the position.
Carino, who was previously engaged to Lady Gaga, was asked if Musk and Heard were dating in 2016.
“I don’t know if they were dating, but they’ve definitely spent some time together,” he said.
Heard and Musk met on the set of Robert Rodriguez’s 2013 film Machete Killsbut the couple claimed they were just friends until they both ended their divorces in 2016 and 2017.
In August 2017, rumors erupted again that the couple’s alleged one-year romance had ended.
Musk confirmed the speculation shortly afterwards, telling fans that the breakup was friendly.
“Just to clear up some of the press storms this weekend, even though Amber and I broke up, we’re still friends, we’re still close and we love each other,” Musk tweeted.
He later added that “long-distance relationships when both partners have intense work obligations are always difficult, but who knows what the future holds.”
The fate of the trial is now in the hands of the jurors
Depp’s defamation case against Heard is now in the hands of jurors who have begun deliberations after hearing explosive final arguments in court.
Attorneys for Depp, 58, and Heard, 36, filed their final appeals with the jury Friday, local time, after tens of hours of testimony and six weeks of mutual domestic violence charges between the celebrity couple at Fairfax County Court. , Virginia.
Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, took a savage last blow by claiming that Aquaman’s actress had no friends.
“You may have noticed that no one showed up at Ms. Heard’s in this room except her sister,” Vasquez said.
“All the other witnesses who traveled to Virginia for her were a paid expert.
“This is a woman who burns bridges. Her close friends don’t show up for her.”
Ms. Vasquez then gave Heard another brutal blow, responding to his lawyers’ claims that all of Depp’s witnesses who testified in the case were “on his payroll” and were too scared to go against him.
“Kate Moss is definitely not on Mr. Depp’s payroll,” Vasquez said, referring to the explosive testimony of the British supermodel this week that dispelled a rumor that Depp pushed her down a flight of stairs.
Depp’s team painted him as a victim of what they say are Heard’s false allegations of physical, sexual and psychological abuse, which have destroyed his career and reputation.
Heard is said to be a “deeply troubled person” who sought revenge when Depp provoked his deepest “fear of abandonment” and “split” during the discussions.
Heard’s team utters the last words
In stark contrast, Heard’s lawyer, Benjamin Rottenborn, said Depp was “a monster” who not only abused his ex-wife, but continued an ongoing smear campaign after Heard filed for divorce. “In Mr. Depp’s world, don’t leave Mr. Depp,” he said. “If you do, he will launch a global humiliation campaign against you.”
Vásquez first presented his final argument, telling the jury that Heard had “garnered a horror story” based on “wild, exaggerated, and unlikely” allegations of physical and sexual abuse against Depp.
“Either you believe it all or nothing,” Ms. Vasquez told the jury Friday morning.
“Either Mrs Heard was sexually assaulted (by Depp) with a bottle in Australia … or she ‘s a woman who is willing to say absolutely anything.
“What Mrs. Heard testified in this room is a story of too many women, but what shows the weight of the evidence is that it is not Mrs. Heard’s story.”
Vasquez called Heard’s allegations “false” and “defamatory,” adding that they had caused “irreparable harm” to Depp and “ruined his life.”
He criticized Heard for his “acting” in court, alleging that the star used his acting experience to interpret “the role of his life as a heroic survivor of brutal abuse.”
Vasquez told jurors that during the six-week trial, they saw Heard “crying without tears as he turned elaborate, exaggerated and fantastic statements” of domestic abuse.
“It was a performance,” he added.
“She told you what she thinks you should hear to condemn this man as a domestic abuser and rapist.”
The lawyer argued that the evidence presented by Heartd’s legal team “does not confirm” that the actress has been abused “countless times”, including the fact that there are no medical records documenting her alleged injuries.
“There’s nothing,” Vasquez said.
