Nicole Shanahan's lawyer has hit out at the rumors involving the wife of the Google co-founder in the Elon Musk affair that surfaced this week.

Speaking to the Daily Mail on Tuesday, Shanahan's lawyer, Attorney Bryan Freedman, called the rumors about the Tesla CEO and Sergey Brin's wife untrue.

"Make no mistake, any suggestion that Nicole had an affair with Elon Musk is not only an outright lie but also defamatory," Freedman underscored in a statement. No further details were mentioned by Shanahan's lawyer.

Elon Musk Denies Affair With Nicole Shanahan

On Monday, Musk also denied having an affair with the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

The SpaceX founder took to Twitter to reply to a user who shared the article from the Wall Street Journal, the outlet that reported the affair, citing people familiar with the matter.

"This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night," Elon Musk underscored. The Tesla CEO furthered that he had only seen Shanahan twice in three years, and both times had a lot of people around them, contending that their encounters were not romantic. 

On Tuesday, Musk lashed out at a tweet from a WSJ editor, the outlet that reported the alleged affair. Michael Siconolfi also tweeted the WSJ article, emphasizing that the Tesla CEO asked for forgiveness from the Google co-founder.

Twitter Error

Musk then tweeted a photo of him with a group, including Sergey Brin. Musk captioned the photo with an emoji of pants and a flame. He then furthered that the article shared by Siconolfi is burning up phone lines over his bogus article.

In a different tweet, Musk shared how he feels about the attention he has gathered following the publication of the story.

"The amount of attention on me has gone supernova, which super sucks. Unfortunately, even trivial articles about me generate a lot of clicks," Musk said, placing a sad face at the end of the statement.

Despite that, the Tesla CEO highlighted that he will still try his best to do useful things for the civilization.

On Tuesday, a spokesman for the Wall Street Journal told the Daily Mail that they are confident in their sourcing and stand with what they reported.

Elon Musk Affair Involving Nicole Shanahan

On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Musk had an affair with Shanahan last fall, prompting Brin to file for a divorce in January.

Records from Santa Clara County Superior Court revealed that Brin filed for the divorce in January, citing "irreconcilable differences." The said filing reportedly occurred weeks after Brin allegedly discovered the affair between Musk and his wife.

The report also mentioned that Musk dropped to his knees to beg forgiveness. The Google co-founder reportedly acknowledged the apology from Musk. However, the two have not spoken regularly after that.
