Johnny Depp's lawyer, Camille Vasquez, reveals the truth about her relationship with the actor and their alleged 'romantic connection'

Camille Vasquez, the attorney who played a central role in Johnny Depp's legal battle with Amber Heard, recently addressed ongoing rumors of a potential romantic connection between her and the actor.

Nearly two years after Depp's widely covered defamation trial, Vasquez clarified that she doesn't foresee any personal relationship with him beyond their professional interactions.

Vasquez explained that when she first began working with Depp, she was struck by their contrasting personalities.

"I would never," she told Extra on Friday. "Let me just go on the record here. Never dated Johnny Depp. Never would date Johnny Depp. I think he's a lovely person. He's not my type."

"I remember maybe after 30 [or] 40 minutes of speaking with him, I remember having an out of body experience and looking at him and thinking, 'He views the world so differently than I do.'"

"Like, he definitely uses a different part of his brain, he's such an artist."

Fans speculated about a romantic connection

A graduate of the University of Southern California, where she studied arts, communications, and political science, Vasquez later attended Southwestern Law School. She now works as a partner at Brown Rudnick LLP, focusing on defamation, contract disputes, and crisis communications.

Throughout the trial, fans couldn't help but speculate about a romantic connection between Vasquez and Depp, fueled by their friendly interactions in the courtroom.

Clips of Depp assisting Vasquez with her phone charger or pulling out her chair quickly went viral, leading to increased public fascination with their dynamic.

Her assertive approach in court, especially during her cross-examination of Heard, earned her admiration from audiences who praised her skills and composure in a highly scrutinized case.
