BigIndyNews.com reported on Wednesday that Vasquez will defend Yellowstone actor Q’orianka Kilcher in her disability fraud case.
California insurance authorities reportedly accuse Kilcher of worker’s compensation for obtaining almost $100,000 in “undeserved” disability benefits. The actor claims she sustained a neck and shoulder injury on the set of Dora and the Lost City of Gold, rendering her unable to work for a year, according to BigIndyNews.com.
No doubt, Kilcher is hoping Camille Vasquez will lead her to legal results similarly enjoyed by Depp.
Johnny Depp’s Attorney Camille Vasquez Gets New Celebrity Client
Three months ago, a jury reached its verdict in the defamation trail and countersuit between Depp and Heard, finding for Depp almost across the board.
The jury awarded damages of $15 million against Heard to Depp but also awarded $2 million to Heard in the case.
Somewhat similar to Johnnie Cochran or Robert Shapiro, who achieved nationwide recognition due to their defense of OJ Simpson, Camille Vasquez found game during her representation of Depp in his legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard.
During the trial, rumors brewed that Johnny Depp was actually dating Camille Vasquez. However, she shot down those rumors, and the media reported she was dating a British real estate agent for months.
Vasquez told a program called The Fat and Skinny that people have mistaken her cultural body language for a deeper, nonexistent affection.
“Yes, of course [I hugged Depp, because] he is my friend, but first he is my client, and he was going through something very difficult, and I love my clients very much,” she said. “I am Hispanic. I like to hug and touch people … kisses [no,] but I [did] give him a hug because he needed it.”
