Camille Vasquez, who shot to global fame after representing Johnny Depp in his defamation trial against Amber Heard, is now facing backlash for claiming that her client wouldn't have harmed his ex-wife when he was "too drunk and high" to stand up.

The 38-year-old attorney became an instant celebrity thanks to her cross examinations during the 2022 trial between the exes. However, her recent comments in the Discovery+ documentary 'Johnny vs Amber: The U.S. Trial' appear to have sparked a wave of criticism against her. The trial between Depp, 59, and Heard, 36, dominated the news cycle from April until June 2022, with Depp eventually winning his lawsuit against Heard over an op-ed she penned in 2018 claiming to be a survivor of domestic abuse. Depp won three counts of defamation, while Heard won on one. Both sides are reportedly appealing the verdicts, with Heard roping in a fresh legal team to represent her.
