About

Erin Falati cared for Amber Heard through Dr. David Kipper’s practice. Her nursing records from 2014 to 2016 also covered care involving Johnny Depp. In a deposition played at trial, Falati distinguished what she observed from what Heard reported to her.

Falati said she saw no injuries when she met Heard after Heard’s return from Australia in March 2015. Her December 2015 note recorded that Heard had a bleeding lip and reported scalp bruising and hair loss after an argument with Depp. Falati confirmed the bloody lip but said she could not see the described scalp bruising. Her records also documented Heard’s own reports about substance use and mental-health history. Falati confirmed that Heard texted her several photos on May 21, 2016, but could not recall whether Heard wore makeup during the December visit.

“I don't recall specifics. I wasn't present in Australia at that time. I just remember a general sense of a big argument happening and the treatment team deciding that they should not be around each other.”

“I don't know specifically. As I think we talked about much earlier this morning, there was generally a sense of arguing, reconciling, and that sort of cycle happening repeatedly throughout their relationship.”
