American lawyer Camille Vasquez for the first time has responded to rumours reasoning that she was in a relationship with the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor Johnny Depp. She gained popularity when she was spotted by Johnny Depp’s side throughout his defamation trial against ex-spouse and former co-star, Amber Heard. Many had contemplated that Camille and Johnny were ‘close’ claiming that the two were dating. 

Camille, in a recent interview, has reacted to these claims, not just denying the rumours but also calling them out for being sexist. Clarifying that she already has a partner, she said that she is ‘very happy’ in her relationship, as per reports.

Revealing the truth about her presumed ‘closeness’ with Johnny during the defamation trial, Camille said, “This man was fighting for his life and it broke my heart to see him day in and day out have to sit there and listen to the most horrific allegations being made against him. And 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.”

Amber Heard had countersued Johnny Depp for $100 million saying that he tarnished her reputation by calling her a liar. Johnny had sued Heard for 50 million dollars in Virginia claiming that she had defamed him calling herself a domestic abuse survivors in a Washinton Post op-ed in 2018.

Both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard allegedly abused and defamed each other during their two-year-long marriage lasting from 2015 to 2017. While Johnny Depp won the case, getting an award worth around 10.35 million dollars as damages by the Virginia court, Amber Heard was paid 2 million on one ground of defamation which held Johnny Depp accountable.
