Screenshots of texts sent by Heard to Falati were revealed to the court that show the actor with a red, splotchy face.
When Heard's former nurse was asked what she made of the photos, she replied: "I’m not an expert… I mean there’s colour on her face in different areas, I don’t know what’s what."
Falati was also asked if Heard ever had expressed a fear of her now ex-husband, with the nurse telling the court that she couldn't remember.
She did say she recalled a sense of general 'discord' in Depp's and Heard's relationship, which had a tumultuous pattern of disagreements and reconciliation.
