Cara Delevingne’s name was never mentioned in the UK and US lawsuits filed by Johnny Depp. However, the English model found herself at the centre of a legal drama, when one of Amber’s former friend's husband, Josh Drew, testified that he believed that Amber had a love affair with Cara while she was still married to Johnny. He also claimed that both Cara and Amber had a threesome with trillionaire, Elon Musk at Johnny’s Los Angeles home.

"Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose. We were close for a long time. Then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled. She was also entangled with other people."

"I definitely don't want to have kids to fix anything, but I think it will really heal parts of myself that have a tough time having sympathy for the kid I was. Because I've done a lot of work with that and imagining a little kid going through the things I saw or went through, I couldn't imagine that."

Netizens' reaction to Cara Delevingne and Amber Heard's relationship

Soon after Cara confirmed her romance with Amber, netizens flooded the comment section. A user wrote on Reddit, "I'm not surprised. Amber said time and time again that he was jealous and insecure with her bisexuality/attraction to women, with even his former psychiatrist confirming it several times." 

Another user penned, "Can you imagine what would have happened with the media and Depp Stans if this had come out during the trial? It would have been horrendous for both Amber and Cara, and it makes perfect sense that they wouldn't give any public hint that they were in a relationship at the time." Another comment read:

"Many of Depp's ex-partners have talked about his crazy jealousy in interviews. I see it as part of the issue that male jealousy is usually depicted as passionate and only female jealousy is considered crazy, that all these hints that he was problematic, with proof out in the open, were completely dismissed when Heard talked about it."
