Amber Heard Was “Filling Space” When She Dated Elon Musk, Says Her Former Agent

Amber Heard was just "filling space" when she dated Elon Musk, according to a former agent of Heard and her ex-husband Johnny Depp. 

Heard, 36, dated the billionaire businessman for a few months around the time she split from Depp in 2016, Christian Carino, an agent with the Creative Artists Agency, told a courtroom in Fairfax, Virginia, where Heard is facing a defamation case brought by her ex-husband.

In an e-mail from August 2017, Heard told Carino: "Dealing with break-up. I hate when things go public. See I'm so sad."
Carino believes Heard was referring to her romance with the Tesla boss.

In response, Carino told her: "You weren't in love with him. You told me 1,000 times you were just filling space."

Carino subsequently queried: "Why would you be sad if you weren't in love with him to begin with?"

In a series of e-mails, Heard expressed frustration that her love life was so public.

Carino responded: "You could avoid all this if you stop dating uber famous people."

Asked what he meant, Carino explained that he was trying to tell Heard: "If you don't like being in the press about your personal life don't date people that are famous."

Musk won't be testifying in the ongoing defamation trial.

The Tesla Motors CEO, who recently bought Twitter for US$44 billion (S$61 bil), initially appeared on Heard’s publicly available witness list at the start of the trial, but his attorney Alex Spiro has confirmed to the New York Post newspaper that he will not testify after all.

Likewise, actor James Franco won't appear during the trial, even though his name has also appeared on the witness list.

The trial is expected to last for another five to six weeks. Watch Carino's testimony here:
