Johnny Depp’s Lawyer Camille Vasquez Reveals Why She “Would Never” Date Him Despite Romance Rumors
Johnny Depp’s lawyer is shutting down dating rumors again.
In fact, Camille Vasquez—who represented the Pirates of the Caribbean star amid his 2022 defamation trial against ex Amber Heard—recently spelled out exactly why she would never get romantically involved with her client.
“I would never,” Vasquez told Extra in an interview published Nov. 1. “Let me just go on the record here. Never dated Johnny Depp. Never would date Johnny Depp. I think he’s a lovely person, just—he’s not my type. That’s okay.”
But while her relationship with the 61-year-old is not romantic, she does keep in touch with him. As she put their extent of involvement, “We are in a group text.”
When it came to past speculation about her relationship with Depp, the 40-year-old shared that her parents were the first to tell her of the 2022 romantic rumors that circulated about her and the Edward Scissorhands star.
And at the time, she emphasized to People that the rumors were “100 percent, unequivocally not true.”
“I guess it comes with the territory of being a woman just doing her job," Vasquez told the outlet. “It's disappointing that certain outlets kind of ran with it or said that my interactions with Johnny—who is a friend and I've known and represented for four-and-a-half years now—that my interactions in any way were inappropriate or unprofessional.”
She noted that while her courtroom behavior with Depp was dissected by some internet sleuths, it was no different than how she interacted with other clients.
“I care very deeply about my clients, and we have obviously become close,” she explained at the time. “I'm Cuban and Colombian. I'm tactile. What do you want me to say? I hug everyone. And I'm not ashamed about that.”
Vasquez further detailed that any speculation on her relationship with Depp beyond being attorney and client was simply “sexist.”
“It's unfortunate and it's disappointing,” Vasquez added. “But at the same time it kind of comes with the territory. I can't say I was all that surprised.”
