Fame is one hell of a drug (for some). 2. Psychiatrists &#038; lawyers come in drastically varying levels of skill. 3. Lying to millions of people is something humans are capable of. 4. Love can be messy. 5.

Although she did not name Depp in the op-ed, Depp\u2019s lawyers say it was clear that she was referring to him. Last year, Heard countersued the \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d star for $100 million.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Judge Penney Azcarate gave the jury instructions and it began deliberations.<\/p>\n<p>While Americans following the trial on TV and online have picked sides, the jury must focus not only on whether Depp abused Heard, but also on whether Heard\u2019s op-ed can be considered legally defamatory.<\/p>\n<p>The article, which court testimony revealed was written at least in part by the ACLU, focuses mostly on policy questions of domestic violence, but Depp\u2019s lawyer claims it was clearly aimed at his client.<\/p>\n<p>Musk and Heard reportedly began dating in 2016, about a month after she filed for divorce from Depp. But Depp claims that Heard was cheating on him with Musk well before then and throughout their marriage.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-details-about-elon-musk-and-amber-heards-relationship-revealed-during-defamation-trial\">previously reported<\/a> that Musk and Heard\u2019s text communications were subpoenaed as part of the investigation but that the world\u2019s richest man would not be required to testify.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents indicated that Musk visited Depp\u2019s penthouse \u201clate at night\u201d while the actor was not home. The 50-year-old Tesla founder was also allegedly given parking garage access.<\/p>\n<p>Depp, who was once one of Hollywood\u2019s top A-list actors, hopes to reclaim his reputation. But win or lose at trial, the case has exposed a sordid relationship between the pair and a lifestyle replete with drugs and alcohol abuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk has connections to the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial, but until Saturday, he had kept his opinion to himself.
