Johnny Depp’s lawyer responds to romance rumors

The more Johnny Depp’s trial against Amber Heard progressed, the more attention focused on Camille Vasquez. And it wasn’t really because the actor’s lawyer went through six weeks without fail in the courtroom. Social networks, in particular, have taken a close interest in the body language of the lawyer and the Pirates of the Caribbean. It is clear that the two are very comfortable together. Does this mean that the public has seen the birth of a romance before their eyes?

Get out your tissues or rejoice: the answer is no! “It’s quite sad that some media are following this or saying that my interactions with Johnny – who is a friend I have known and represented for four and a half years now – are somehow inappropriate or unprofessional. . It’s sad to hear, “said the lawyer, who became associated with the outcome of the trial, to the magazine People.

Sexism and ethics

Camille Vasquez therefore agreed, once and for all, to explain why they were sometimes so tactile. “My clients are very important to me and of course we have become close, but when I say ‘we’ I mean the whole team and of course that includes Johnny. And then I am Cuban and Colombian. I am tactile. What do you want me to tell you? I hug everyone and I’m absolutely not ashamed of it, ”she said, before pointing out the “sexist” aspect of lending him a relationship with a client.

“It’s an attack that has nothing to do with ethics that was made. It’s sexist. It’s unfortunate and distressing, but at the same time, it’s inevitable. I can’t say I’m surprised,” added the lawyer, who is also in a relationship (with another) and “very happy” in her love life.
