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.
