Who Is Camille Vasquez? Attorney Representing Actor Johnny Depp In Defamation Trial

As the high-profile legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues, with everyone from fellow celebrities to the general public taking sides, Johnny Depp's lawyer has become an overnight star thanks to her conduct in court.

The Jury took time to deliberate and gave a unanimous verdict in favour of Johnny Depp. The court ruled that Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp by writing the op-ed in the Washington Post where she called herself a survivor of domestic abuse.

Johnny Depp will be given 15 million dollars by Amber Heard. The jury also partially favoured Amber Heard which is why will be getting two million dollars. After the verdict was out, Johnny Depp's fans celebrated the actor's victory and his lawyer Camille Vasquez was again the popular subject of social media posts where she was praised.

After a tense cross-examination of Amber Heard this week in a Fairfax, Virginia courtroom, Camille Vasquez is getting her turn in the spotlight. As she cross-examined the actor on Thursday, Vasquez also told Amber Heard that her lies had been revealed to the world several times. She also questioned Amber Heard about perjury and leaking information to the press in order to slant the case in her favour.

Camille Vasquez, 37, is one of Depp's nine lawyers in his defamation action against ex-wife Heard, which is worth $50 million. The trial is a follow-up to Depp's 2018 lawsuit, in which his former wife, actor Amber Heard, accused him of domestic abuse. In a Washington Post article, she described herself as a domestic abuse survivor. Following that, Depp filed a $50 million defamation claim against Heard, and Heard has counter-sued him for nuisance for $100 million amount.

There were rumours that Camille Vasquez and Johnny Depp were romantically engaged during the formative days of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial, which Vasquez denied.
