Johnny Depp remained fondly on Amber Heard’s mind even years after their divorce. Christian Carino, ex-talent agent to both actors, was questioned about text and email exchanges between himself and Heard in a pre-recorded deposition played in court on April 27. In an August 2017 text, Heard asked Carino to pass on a message to Depp, per People. “I’ve written so many notes. Can you give him one?” Heard requested. “I don’t know how or where to start. There’s no way to begin and all I have to say, but I have so many. Finally I am single, clear in my heart and mind. I just want him to know I love him and that I am sorry.”
Carino testified that he thought Heard wanted to make up with Depp, especially as her year-long relationship with Tesla CEO Elon Musk ended that month. In another text to Carino in September 2017, Heard bemoaned about Depp, “God I miss him” and in one from June 2018, she simply wrote, “I text him happy birthday.”
As Carino testified, Heard was quick to jump into her relationship with Musk after divorcing Depp (per the Daily Mail). However, as the agent emailed Heard in 2018, “You weren’t in love with [Elon]. You told me 1,000 times you were just feeling space.” Heard’s reply seemingly confirmed this, reading, “I know but I wanted time to grieve and recover in my own time.”
