Johnny Depp has accused ex-wife Amber Heard of beginning a romantic relationship with Tesla founder Elon Musk "no later than one month after" the two wed in 2015.

The claims come from the 55-year-old’s defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard (Aquaman), in which he is seeking $50 million in damages after his ex-wife wrote a Washington Post op-ed depicting herself as a domestic abuse victim. He denied her allegations, which she had made while filing for divorce in May 2016 to end their 15-month marriage, calling it "false" and “an elaborate hoax.”
