She’s back – Camille Vasquez to represent Depp for the second time
Camille Vasquez is arguably one of the most famous lawyers in the world right now after thrusting into the public eye during Johnny Depp’s heated trial with ex-wife Amber Heard
At the start of the month the Jury reached a verdict in favour of Depp, pushing Vasquez’s status as a lawyer even further
In fact, she was quickly promoted to firm partner after representing the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
Her days of standing by Johnny aren’t over, Camille Vasquez will now represent Depp for the second time for a lawsuit with a former colleague named Gregg ‘Rocky’ Brooks.
Brooks filed a Personal Injury lawsuit against the actor in LA in 2018.
He has accused Depp of punching him twice in the rib cage in April 2017 while the pair were working together on the film set of the crime drama City of Lies.
Brooks alleges Depp also asked him to punch him back but in the face, supposedly offering him $100,000 to do so.
He also claimed the actor smelt of alcohol when they had a supposed run in over how long left they had to shoot a scene in downtown Los Angeles.
Depp has argued the injuries Brooks incurred were because the location manager ‘provoked’ others.
The trial is currently set to commence on July 25th.

Sussan Ley’s leadership faces challenge as Liberal MPs debate net zero emissions policy amid divisions between moderates and conservatives
Sussan Ley’s leadership faces challenge as Liberal MPs debate net zero emissions policy amid divisions between moderates and conservatives
– Sussan Ley’s leadership is questioned as the Liberal party debates net-zero emissions amidst internal divisions.
– Moderate MPs warn losing elections if net-zero is abandoned, highlighting urban voter support for a 2050 target.
Leadership contenders like Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie support staying committed to the Paris Agreement, rejecting a net-zero commitment. Taylor indicated future leadership aspirations are not confirmed.
Pro-net-zero frontbencher Tim Wilson seeks decisive leadership to address the issue. Ley’s lack of internal guidance frustrates moderates, creating uncertainty regarding her stance on net-zero. While some conservatives advocate for its dismissal, others display mixed support.
Liberal party dynamics shift as polling reveals significant opposition to net-zero among constituents. The upcoming party room meeting and shadow ministers gathering will aim to finalise the Coalition’s position.
Internal Divisions
Moderate MPs warn that elections will be lost if net-zero is abandoned, emphasising its importance in urban areas.
A poll indicates strong support for a 2050 net-zero target among voters. Critics of the Nationals’ policy argue it is misguided and incompatible with national interests.
Calls for resignation from frontbench positions are met with opposition. Some representatives voiced frustration over the timing of the meeting, suggesting it should have been resolved earlier.
