**When Johnny Depp and Camille Vasquez took the courtroom stage together**, millions tuned in, glued to their screens, watching one of the most talked-about celebrity cases of the decade unfold.
Depp, known for his iconic roles in *Pirates of the Caribbean* and *Edward Scissorhands*, was embroiled in a bitter defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Vasquez, Depp’s fierce and articulate lawyer, quickly became a fan favorite, impressing viewers with her tenacity and skill as she fought to clear Depp’s name.
But as the trial gained worldwide attention, another story began swirling in the background.
The internet, with all its relentless curiosity, speculated that Depp and Vasquez were more than just lawyer and client.
The rumor mill kicked into high gear, with fans dissecting every glance and smile exchanged between the two during court proceedings.
Even as the serious legal battle took center stage, social media exploded with questions: Were Depp and Vasquez secretly dating?
Despite the intense speculation, **Vasquez herself found out about the rumor in the most surprising way**—through her parents!
“They already knew it wasn’t true,” she shared, admitting that even her family had heard the bizarre theories circulating online.
In a recent interview with Extra, **Vasquez finally set the record straight**.
“Let me just go on the record here: I never dated Johnny Depp. I never would date Johnny Depp.”
She went on to add, “He’s a lovely person, but he’s just not my type.”
And if anyone still had doubts, Vasquez didn’t hold back: “I would never,” she said, firmly squashing any lingering rumors.
But why did so many fans cling to the idea of Depp and Vasquez as a potential power couple?
Who was even made the American Civil Liberties Union’s “Ambassador for Women’s Issues.”
**For some context, Depp’s courtroom battles have captivated the public for years**, drawing people into his complicated and often dramatic personal life.
Depp and Heard’s turbulent relationship had already made headlines, with both sides sharing shocking allegations that kept fans, tabloids, and social media buzzing.
When the trial became televised, the public became almost obsessed, watching the court proceedings as if they were scenes from a blockbuster.
Depp’s loyal fanbase rallied behind him, celebrating every win in the courtroom, and soon Vasquez became a symbol of his legal “comeback.”
**Her sharp cross-examinations and unwavering support of Depp fueled the idea that they might be closer than just professional partners**.
Fans began “shipping” the two—a term used online to root for two people to get together, romantically or otherwise.
Meanwhile, Vasquez’s online following skyrocketed, and “#CamilleVasquez” trended on social media alongside Depp’s name, as fans eagerly analyzed their interactions.
To her admirers, Vasquez became the heroine of Depp’s story, the lawyer who was saving him not just legally but emotionally.
The case was grueling…
Some fans even went as far as crafting fanfiction and creating videos speculating on a possible romance.
In reality, however, **Depp and Vasquez’s relationship was strictly professional**—and nothing more.
“I haven’t even seen him on the big screen in many of his movies,” Vasquez admitted, adding to the disbelief of fans who imagined her as a Depp aficionado.
Host Billy Bush, during the interview, couldn’t resist asking her if she’d at least watched *Pirates of the Caribbean*.
Her answer was as surprising as it was sincere: “Never to this day,” Vasquez confessed. “I have not seen him in *Pirates*.”
In fact, **the only Depp film she recalled seeing was *Chocolat***, the 2001 romantic drama starring Depp, Judi Dench, and Juliette Binoche.
The attorney, who has represented Hollywood A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lopez, wasn’t exactly a Depp superfan when she took his case.
Despite the lack of familiarity with his films, Vasquez revealed she was struck by his unique perspective when they first met.
“After maybe 30, 40 minutes of speaking with him, I remember having an out-of-body experience,” she recalled.
“He views the world so differently than I do. He definitely uses a different part of his brain. He’s such an artist.”
Her comments hinted at a level of mutual respect but fell far short of the romantic narrative fans had constructed.
**Depp himself has spoken about the trial’s toll on his life**, comparing it to a “soap opera” during a recent interview promoting his new directorial feature, *Modi*.
Depp likened his life to the struggles of Amedeo Modigliani, an artist whose story he brings to life in his upcoming film.
“Maybe yours didn’t turn into a soap opera,” Depp said, alluding to the intense public scrutiny his personal life faced during the trial.
The trial, which concluded with Depp being awarded $15 million (later capped at $10.35 million), brought a temporary end to the legal drama—but not to the public fascination.
Amber Heard also received $2 million in damages, leaving fans and the media dissecting the mixed verdict.
For Vasquez, however, the trial was just one chapter in her career, despite the endless rumors.
**As she clarified, Depp is simply a client—no more, no less**.
“He’s not my type,” she reiterated, ending the interview with a laugh, almost as if to finally lay the rumors to rest.
Despite their on-camera camaraderie, Vasquez seems to prefer the quiet strength of professionalism over the tabloids’ romantic fantasies.
The lawyer’s straightforward approach has won her respect, even if it disappointed fans hoping for an off-screen love story.
While her time representing Depp might be over, Vasquez’s career is only rising, as she’s now known as one of Hollywood’s go-to attorneys for the stars.
So for those still hoping for a twist in the Depp-Vasquez saga, she’s made it clear: no, there was never a spark—just another case closed.
