How Johnny Depp's lawyer Camille Vasquez became an overnight celebrity
India Today
The Johnny Depp - Amber Heard trial was, by its very nature, a star-studded affair. And yet, neither of the two main characters came out with the most fans. Instead, it was Johnny Depp's lawyer Camille Vasquez who emerged as the unlikely star.
Two big Hollywood celebrities. A troubled marriage. And a six-week-long televised trial that ended on Wednesday in a near-total victory for Johnny Depp against Amber Heard.
And yet, the person who seems to have walked away with the most fans is Camille Vasquez, Johnny Depp's lawyer.
Through the trial, the internet lauded her for attitude and arguments. Here are the moments from the trial that catapulted her to fame.
During Amber Heard's cross-examination, lawyer Camille Vasquez asked if she had already given the seven million dollar divorce settlement she had promised to give away to charity.
When Amber Heard said she had pledged it to different charities, Camille Vasquez pointed to the difference between the words 'pledge' and 'donate'. "Ms Heard, respectfully, that's not my question," she famously said.
When Amber Heard was on the stand the first time, Camille Vasquez and the rest of Depp's team made more than 40 objections in a short amount of time, many of them sustained by the judge.
A video of Camille Vasquez objecting to Amber Heard's legal team during a session amassed more than 17 million views on TikTok.
