JAKARTA - Camille Vasquez is rumored to have a special relationship with Johnny Depp. The lawyer is said to have been in a romance for a long time and was even willing to defend his client against Amber Heard.

Johnny Depp, who sued his ex-wife, Amber Heard, has been on trial for six weeks for defamation. Vasquez was present as one of Depp's team of lawyers.

In the trial broadcast, Camille Vasquez was seen hugging Johnny Depp twice. Depp also had time to stroke Vasquez's back before the trial began.

Camille Vasquez responded to these rumors through an interview. He stated that the speculation was not true or false.

“It was disappointing when some media deemed my interactions with Johnny - who was a friend I represented for 4.5 years - to be inappropriate and unprofessional. Disappointed to hear that," Camille Vasquez quoted PEOPLE as saying today, Friday, June 10.

As a lawyer, he felt familiarity with Johnny Depp was common. He also talked about when the two of them hugged and was considered an intimate moment.

“I really care about my clients and of course we became close. But that also applies to the whole team and of course including Johnny."

“And I'm Cuban and Colombian. And I'm tactile. What do I want to say? I hug everyone and I'm not ashamed of that," he added.

According to him, he also felt the need to calm Johnny Depp when the actor heard the untrue statements. Vasquez also informed that he currently has a girlfriend who is not related to Depp.

“This man (Johnny Depp) fought for his life and it hurts me to see him sitting and listening to the accusations. And if I can give him a sense of security of course I will do it either by holding his hand or letting him know that we are there to help him," Vasquez explained.

Vasquez, who received a lot of love from the public, had a message that girls could go to high school. He knows many are praising him from the TikTok platform.

“Funny but unexpected. I believe I can inspire women to go to school, work hard and maybe find a career in law, then it will all be worth it because that's the most important thing,” said Camille Vasquez.
