Amber Heard’s Private Nurse: I Saw Injuries on the Actress
Amber Heard’s former personal nurse has testified that she once observed the actress with a “bloody lip” after an argument with Johnny Depp, marking the first time jurors have heard a witness detail alleged physical abuse at the hands of the actor during their short-lived union.
In pre-recorded testimony played before the court in the defamation trial between the actors on Tuesday, Erin Falati recalled “visibly bright red blood appearing at the center” of Heard’s lower lip in December 2015 after the actress said she had an altercation with Depp. Falati did not witness the injuries take place, nor did she say they were inflicted by Depp, but Heard has done so in the past.
It was “actively bleeding,” Falati wrote in a nursing log that was read aloud to the court. She added that Heard said her head was bruised and that she lost clumps of hair during an argument—though Falati did not see the hair loss during their meeting at the actress’ home.
