Amber Heard’s former nurse has testified that she is “jealous and anxious” about the fame of her then-partner Johnny Depp and his ability to meet often with women during Tuesday’s defamation trial. .
The defamation lawsuit between Mr. Depp and Ms. Hurd began on April 11 in Fairfax, Virginia, following Mr. Depp’s lawsuit against his ex-wife in March 2019. Mr. Depp claims she slandered him in a post from December 2018, published in The Washington Post entitled “I spoke out against sexual violence – and faced the wrath of our culture. That needs to change. “
Nurse Erin Falati was among the last witnesses called by Mr. Depp’s team to testify through a video released in court, with half of her testimony released on Tuesday night and the rest on Wednesday morning. In the last part, Ms. Falti was asked about remarks she made in September 2014, which stated that Ms. Hurd was experiencing “difficulties with problems with jealousy and anxiety about the fiancé’s fame and ability to communicate frequently. with women. “
In another note, Ms. Falati wrote that Ms. Hurd was “disappointed” over dinner at a restaurant, adding that her “previous coping mechanisms” included “impulsive anger and screaming.”
In a third note, also from September 2014, Ms Falati wrote that around 1 am Ms. Hurd was “irritable, strong and angry” and that she was “screaming at times and looking excited”. That was after hacking Mrs. Hurd’s phone.
Ms. Falati works with both Ms. Hurd and Mr. Depp. She testified that she first met Ms. Hurd in August 2014.
Ms Falati’s notes said Ms Hurd had reported “substance abuse, including cocaine and alcohol addiction”, but had been out of cocaine for “several years” at the time.
“The client acknowledges a history of anxiety, eating disorder, attention deficit disorder, bipolar disorder, addiction problems and occasional insomnia,” Ms. Falati said in a statement.
The notes also look at Ms. Hurd’s feelings of “insecurity and jealousy” when she was away from Mr. Depp. Ms. Falati said this is not a permanent topic, but it may come up from time to time.
In May 2016, around the time the couple separated, Ms. Hurd sent photos of her face to Ms. Falati.
Regarding the oft-discussed trip to Australia in March 2015, during which Mr Depp said his finger was cut off when Mrs Hurd threw a bottle of vodka at him, Mrs Falati said she could not to remember seeing any injuries to Mrs. Hurd when she returned from Australia.
She added that she could not remember Ms. Hurd seeking medical help from her at the time.
In her 2018 publication, Ms. Hurd wrote that “like many women, I was harassed and sexually abused when I grew up in college. But I was silent – I did not expect the complaints to be fair. And I didn’t see myself as a victim. “
“Then, two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic violence, and I felt the full force of our culture’s anger at women who speak openly,” she added at the time.
