Johnny Depp’s lawyers have claimed to have issued a subpoena to Amber Heard’s ex-boyfriend Elon Musk in the wake of her shocking allegations against the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor.

Adam Waldman, Johnny’s lawyer, has told Metro.co.uk that they ‘have now issued subpoenas to Amber Heard, her hoax assisting friends, Elon Musk and other witnesses to explain the avalanche of video, audio, photographic and testimonial evidence with which we intend to confront them’.

In court documents filed on Thursday 11 April, Amber detailed a list of alleged abuses made by Johnny against her as he attempts to sue his ex-wife $50 million for defamation after she wrote a December 2018 op-ed alleging she was the victim of domestic abuse.

She did not name her abuser.

Sources close to Elon however told Metro.co.uk that as of now these claims are not accurate.

‘Ms. Heard has a new problem besides defamation, perjury and defrauding the Court with a fraudulent temporary restraining order demand: we are now interviewing other women who have come forward claiming they are victims of horrific acts of violence and other abuse at the hands of Amber Heard, in addition to Johnny Depp and Tasya van Ree, the latter of whom Ms. Heard was previously arrested and incarcerated for assaulting,’ continued Waldman.

‘We have now issued subpoenas to Amber Heard, her hoax assisting friends, Elon Musk and other witnesses to explain the avalanche of video, audio, photographic and testimonial evidence with which we intend to confront them.’

He also alleged that the 11 April filing ‘presented Amber Heard’s new lies’.

‘Which part of 87 surveillance videos, 19 (and growing) sworn eyewitness statements, audio tapes, time and date stamped photographs, police depositions and her own sworn testimony does Amber Heard and her PR team think the public is too stupid to understand?’

He said: ‘Amber Heard’s famous battered-appearing face stemming from her May 21 2016 hoax has already been disproven, and we have 87 videos from the 5 ensuing days and 12 depositions or sworn declarations.

‘This evidence shows that Ms. Heard’s face was perfect every day after May 21 right up until May 27 when she appeared in public to fraudulently seek a temporary restraining order.

‘As to her new allegations of prior abuse, Ms. Heard’s neighbor Elizabeth Marz denied that any violence ever occurred prior to May 21.

‘Why are Ms. Heard’s hoax-assisting friends silent now, and Amber Heard’s only witness is … Amber Heard?

‘Ms. Heard refused to answer, under oath, whether she violently abused her own sister Whitney Heard.’

In the documents, Amber alleged that the 55-year-old actor ‘would become a totally different person, often delusional and violent’ during their time together.

Amber claimed that ‘we called that version of Johnny, “the Monster”‘.

‘Johnny often would not remember his delusional and violent conduct after he came out of his drunk or medicated states,’ the documents claims.

‘Because I loved Johnny, I had believed his multiple promises that he could and would get better. I was wrong.’
