Amber Heard is reportedly angered by her ex-partner Elon Musk for sharing a provocative picture of her in cosplay without her consent. The 37-year-old Aquaman actress was taken aback when the 52-year-old billionaire, whom she dated on and off from 2017, uploaded an image on his X platform of her dressed as the video game character Mercy from ‘Overwatch’.
Elon Musk claimed that he did it to verify a story in Walter Isaacson’s new biography about him, titled ‘Elon Musk’. However, sources have informed Page Six that Amber Heard never granted Elon permission to use the photo, which she believed was meant to remain private. The insider mentioned that Amber felt especially offended by this action, as Elon had supposedly asked her multiple times to speak to Walter for the book. However, Amber declined these requests out of respect for Elon.
In Walter’s biography, he described how Amber acquired her cosplay outfit after Elon remarked that she resembled the game character. The journalist wrote in his book about the tech titan that Amber spent two months planning and creating a head-to-toe costume in order to role-play for him. Subsequently, Elon shared a picture of his former girlfriend in the costume on his social media account, stating, “She did dress up as Mercy. It was awesome.”
The picture appears to have been taken on a mobile phone in a residential setting and showed Amber Heard wearing a latex bodysuit with wings resembling those of an angel, along with a gold halo headpiece, while displaying her cleavage. Walter also mentioned in his book that Elon’s close friends and brother, Kimbal Musk, had a strong dislike for Amber, which even surpassed their distaste for Elon’s first wife, Justine Wilson.
In the same biography, Elon’s former girlfriend and musician, Grimes, claimed that Elon had sent a photo of her during a C-section to several loved ones, including her father and brothers. Grimes and Elon dated after Amber’s relationship with him, and they have three children together out of his total of 11.
