Indeed, during the 2022 defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, there was significant public speculation about a romantic relationship between Johnny Depp and his attorney, Camille Vasquez.
This speculation was fueled by their close interactions and chemistry observed during the trial. However, Camille Vasquez has publicly denied these rumors, stating that their relationship was strictly professional.
She emphasized her role was to represent Depp as his lawyer, and any perceived connection was simply part of their professional rapport.
The legal battle began in 2018 when Amber Heard published an op-ed in The Washington Post titled: "I spoke up against sexual violence - and faced our culture's wrath.
That has to change." Heard had divorced Johnny Depp a year before this statement, which implied she had been a victim of domestic abuse.
Years later, in April 2022, they faced each other in court again. The trial extended over seven weeks, concluding with Depp emerging victorious.

Johnny Depp won all three defamation cases against his former partner, Amber Heard, who also successfully countersued him, receiving $2 million in damages, while Depp was awarded $15 million.
This summarizes the history of the case, detailing how Camille Vasquez, who initially doubted the wisdom of filing the lawsuit, ended up defending her then 61-year-old former client.
As for whether they were ever romantically involved, speculation was intense at the time. Some fans even posted videos on TikTok of the pair's courtroom interactions set to romantic music, according to the Daily Mail.
Addressing these rumors, Vasquez told Extra that she first learned of them from her parents, who "knew definitively" there was no relationship. She clarified, "I would never. Let me just go on the record here: never dated Johnny Depp. Never would date Johnny Depp. I think he's a lovely person… he's not my type."

She further explained that she had only seen him on screen perhaps once in the 2000 rom-com "Chocolat," but never in the "Pirates" films, alluding to his iconic role as Jack Sparrow.
Despite not being a frequent viewer of his work, she admitted, "After maybe 30, 40 minutes of speaking with him, I remember having an out-of-body experience and looking at him 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.'"
So there you have it, while Vasquez and Depp shared an obvious connection, but they never dated.
