The attorney felt bad for the actress
Later in the interview, Vasquez explained that she felt bad for Amber Heard as it felt like “no one on her team was helping her.” The famous attorney said,
“I even felt that there was really no one on her team who was helping her with her statements. You would see her team and they were always sitting in their places. That made me feel really bad for her, because our team is completely different”
However, later in the interview, Camille Vasquez stated that Amber Heard claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse, but it was Johnny Depp “who ended up in the hospital.”
Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard for defamation

The court ruled in favor of Depp as it was concluded that the op-ed was about the actor and Heard was ordered to pay roughly $10 million.
The two got married in 2015 but their relationship ended in 2016 after Heard filed for divorce and obtained a restraining order against Depp, alleging that he had physically and verbally abused her during their marriage. Depp denied all the claims.
