Nicole Shanahan’s lawyer has come out swinging and denied his client had an affair with Elon Musk.
‘Make no mistake, any suggestion that Nicole had an affair with Elon Musk is not only an outright lie but also defamatory,’ attorney Bryan Freedman told DailyMail.com in an exclusive statement.
On Sunday the Wall Street Journal claimed Musk slept with Sergey Brin’s wife Nicole Shanahan, 33, that served as a catalyst for their divorce.
Musk, 51, then tweeted a photo of himself partying with Brin, 48, in an effort to disprove the newspaper’s bombshell claim.
Divorce negotiations between Shanahan and Brin are ongoing.
‘The amount of attention on me has gone supernova, which super sucks. Unfortunately, even trivial articles about me generate a lot of clicks.’
‘Will try my best to be heads down focused on doing useful things for civilization,’ he added.
‘WSJ should be running stories that actually matter to their readers and have solid factual basis, not third-party random hearsay.
The Wall Street Journal said it was standing by its story, which claims Musk and Shanahan were romantically involved at Art Basel in December last year, and that it not only chilled Musk’s friendship with Sergey, but served as the catalyst for their divorce.
‘We are confident in our sourcing, and we stand by our reporting,’ a spokesman for the newspaper told DailyMail.com
Google founder Brin filed for divorce in January, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
The couple share a four-year-old daughter.
Brin has not yet commented on the Journal’s claims.
