Camille Vasquez finally speaks about the rumors of a relationship with Johnny Depp
If there is one character that the public remembers from the resounding trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, it is the actor’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez. As the high-profile event was in full swing, everyone had eyes only on the Caribbean Pirates star’s romance with the lawyer. In the face of this obvious complicity, social networks and the media have been on fire for a long time, to the point of spreading rumors of a possible link between the two interested parties. When a journalist asked Camille Vasquez after one of the days of the trial, she simply laughed, leaving doubts.
“I am Cuban and Colombian. I’m tactile”
Now that the trial has ended with a $15 million damages award for the actress and $2 million for Jack Sparrow’s interpreter, each charged with defamation, the lawyer has finally spoken out. In an interview with People magazine, Camille Vasquez said: “It’s pretty sad that some media are saying that my interactions with Johnny – who is a friend I’ve known and represented for four and a half years – are somehow inappropriate or unprofessional. It’s sad to hear … I care deeply about my clients, and we’ve obviously become close. But when I say we, I mean the whole team, and of course that includes Johnny […] And, I am Cuban and Colombian. I’m tactile. What do you want me to say? I hug everyone. And I’m not ashamed of that. ”
A statement that has the merit of clarifying things. Counsel also emphasized how sexist the rumors were, since they would probably never have arisen if Johnny Depp’s senior lawyer had been a man. “This man was fighting for his life and it broke my heart to see him, day after day, sitting there listening to the most horrible allegations against him,” she added. “And if I could bring some comfort, then of course I would, whether it was by holding his hand or letting him know that we were there and we were going to fight for him because he deserved it.” She also noted that she was “very happy” with her relationship with her boyfriend Edward Owen.
