Attorney Camille Vasquez says she has been overwhelmed by all the attention during and after the Johnny Depp defamation trial. She is also a newly minted partner at her law firm.
“It’s been surreal and if I’m being honest, a bit overwhelming,” Vasquez said Wednesday morning on “Good Morning America,” where she and legal teammate Benjamin Chew were speaking about their victory in Depp’s high-profile defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard. “But if I can be an inspiration to young women that want to go to law school and study and work hard, then it was worth it.”
She echoed the sentiment on the “Today” show — where Heard attorney Elaine Bredehoft appeared last week — saying Wednesday, “It’s been overwhelming and surreal, but to the extent that I encouraged young women to stay in school and maybe inspired them to pursue a legal career, it’s all worth it.”
