As the case of American actor Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard intensifies, new information has emerged regarding billionaire Elon Musk potentially spending a significant amount on behalf of Heard. Amber Heard's defamation trial against Johnny Depp is currently underway in the United States, revealing shocking secrets about their controversial relationship day by day. Heard announced that the $7 million settlement she received from her divorce from Depp would be fully donated to the American Civil Liberties Union and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, according to Fox News.
In the latest court sessions, Terrence Doherty, the chief operating officer of the American Civil Liberties Union, revealed that Heard only donated $350,000 of the promised amount, while billionaire Elon Musk donated $500,000 on her behalf, and Johnny Depp donated $100,000. Court testimony indicated that Musk personally contacted the organization, informing them that Heard would donate the amount over a period of 10 years, as noted by Fox News.
It is worth mentioning that Heard had a brief intimate relationship with Elon Musk following her divorce from Depp, and new statements suggest a close connection between Heard and Musk, who aided her in communicating with the American Civil Liberties Union. The crisis surrounding Johnny Depp began when Heard accused him of abusing and physically harming her; she published an article in the Washington Post in 2020 claiming he was mistreating her.
According to Fox News, the American Civil Liberties Union helped Heard and oversaw the writing and editing of the article before it was published in the Washington Post. Depp decided to sue Heard over her article, which generated widespread controversy, accusing her of defamation, and this case is currently taking place in California courts.
