Johnny Depp's Lawyer Camille Vasquez Slams 'Sexist' Dating Rumors

Many on social media began to speculate the two were dating after watching footage emerge from the courtroom. 

However, the lawyer told the outlet: "I guess it comes with the territory of being a woman just doing her job."

She continued: "It's disappointing that certain outlets kind of ran with it or said that my interactions with Johnny — who is a friend and I've known and represented for four-and-a-half years now — that my interactions in any way were inappropriate or unprofessional. That's disappointing to hear."

Vasquez confirmed that she was in a ‘happy relationship’ and that speculation of this kind in the workplace is extremely ‘sexist’.

She also spoke of her close relationship with Depp, revealing that it ‘broke’ her heart to watch the actor sit in court while ‘horrific allegations’ were made against him.

She said: “if I could provide any bit of comfort, then of course I would do that, whether it's holding his hand or letting him know that we were there and we were going to fight for him because he deserved it."

“Historically, we have reserved this announcement for the end of our fiscal year. But Camille’s performance during the Johnny Depp trial proved to the world that she was ready to take this next step now. 

“We are incredibly proud of her and look forward to what she will accomplish as our newest partner.”

Vasquez said that she was ‘delighted’ upon hearing the news, and the promotion has given her a ‘full vote of confidence’.
