Camille Vasquez Sets the Record Straight on Johnny Depp Dating Rumors
Camille Vasquez, the sharp-witted attorney who shot to fame for defending Johnny Depp in his headline-grabbing defamation trial against Amber Heard, has finally addressed the persistent rumors about a romantic link between her and the Hollywood star. In a candid interview, Vasquez didn’t just deny the speculation—she shut it down entirely.
“I would never,” she stated emphatically. “Let me just go on the record here: I never dated Johnny Depp. I never would date Johnny Depp. I think he’s a lovely person… but he’s not my type.”
Vasquez’s Unexpected Take on Johnny Depp’s Films
The rumors weren’t just tabloid gossip—they even reached her parents, who immediately dismissed them. “They definitely knew,” Vasquez told Extra, reinforcing that the claims were baseless.
Perhaps the most surprising revelation? Despite working closely with Depp, Vasquez admitted she had barely seen any of his films. “Honestly, I’ve never really seen him in any films… maybe Chocolat?” she confessed. And when asked about his legendary role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, her answer was just as unexpected: “Never to this day. I have not seen him in Pirates.”
Even so, Depp left a lasting impression on her. “After maybe 30, 40 minutes of speaking with him, I remember having an out-of-body experience and thinking, ‘He views the world so differently than I do.’ He definitely uses a different part of his brain. He’s such an artist.”
The Trial That Captivated the World
The 2022 Depp v. Heard defamation trial was one of the most talked-about legal battles in recent memory. Depp sued Heard over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she implied he had abused her. He argued that her words devastated his career and reputation.
After weeks of dramatic testimony, the jury sided with Depp, awarding him $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages—the latter later reduced to $350,000 due to Virginia’s legal cap.
Vasquez played a crucial role in securing that victory. Her courtroom strategy wasn’t just about winning money—it was about restoring Depp’s name. She took a calculated approach, focusing on the larger impact of Heard’s accusations rather than just the financial fallout.
Camille Vasquez: From Rising Star to Legal Powerhouse
Born in San Francisco to Colombian and Cuban parents, Vasquez was raised in a household that valued ambition. “Doctor or lawyer, pick one,” she recalled her parents telling her—a challenge she clearly embraced.
She went on to graduate magna cum laude from the University of Southern California, then earned her J.D. from Southwestern Law School. In 2018, she joined the prestigious law firm Brown Rudnick, where she quickly built a reputation as a powerhouse in defamation litigation.
Her client list is nothing short of A-list, having worked with Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jennifer Lopez. The Depp trial only cemented her status further, earning her a promotion to partner at her firm.
Expanding Her Influence Beyond the Courtroom
After her high-profile success, Vasquez broadened her professional reach. In 2023, she stepped into a new role as a legal analyst for NBC News, offering expert insights on major legal cases. She’s also taken on new high-profile clients, including Mexican singer Gloria Trevi, whom she represents in civil lawsuits.
Despite the intense media attention and speculation surrounding her professional relationship with Depp, Vasquez remains unfazed. “All anyone has is their name,” she said, emphasizing her unwavering commitment to protecting her clients’ reputations—and her own.
A Lawyer Who Refuses to Be Defined by Rumors
Camille Vasquez’s rise to fame wasn’t built on rumors or gossip—it was built on skill, intelligence, and an unshakable commitment to justice. While the Depp case may have put her in the spotlight, her career continues to soar, proving that she’s much more than just the lawyer who won Johnny Depp’s case. She’s a force to be reckoned with in the legal world—and she’s just getting started.
