Johnny Depp’s lawyer Camille Vazquez has denied rumors of an affair with the actor as “unethical” and “sexist”.
In a new interview, Vazquez – who became famous during the high-profile defamation lawsuit against the former wife of Amber Heard – said she was disappointed that people thought her relationship with Depp was somehow “inappropriate or unprofessional.”
“I care a lot about my clients and we are obviously close. But when I say we mean the whole team, and of course that includes Johnny, “Vazquez told People, adding that the Pirates of the Caribbean star has been her friend and client for four and a half years.

“An unethical accusation has also been made. “It’s sexist,” she said. “It’s unfortunate and disappointing, but at the same time it comes with territory. I can’t say I was so surprised. “
Vazquez defended the interaction between her and Depp in court, saying she was “Cuban and Colombian.”

“I am tactile. What do you want me to tell you? I hug everyone. And I’m not ashamed of that, “she said, adding,” This man was fighting for his life, and it broke my heart to watch him sit there day after day listening to the most horrific accusations against him. .
“And if I could provide some consolation, then, of course, I would, whether I hold his hand or let him know that we are there and we will fight for him because he deserved it.

Vazquez said she was “very happy” in her relationship with her boyfriend Edward Owen.
The lawyer quickly won her own fan during Depp’s six-week trial for her difficult cross-examination of Hurd. After the process, in which Depp won $ 15 million, Vazquez admitted that the newfound attention was “a little astounding.”
“But if I can be an inspiration to young women who want to study and work hard, then it was all worth it,” she told GMA on Wednesday.
