“I care very deeply about my clients, and we have obviously become close,” she told People in June.

“But when I say ‘we’, I mean the entire team, and of course that includes Johnny.”

Vasquez noted that the Pirates of the Caribbean star had been her friend and client for four-and-a-half years.

“It’s also an unethical charge being made. It’s sexist,” she added. “It’s unfortunate, and it’s disappointing, but at the same time, it kind of comes with the territory. I can’t say I was all that surprised.”

Meanwhile, iexclusivenews Nigeria reports that During the defamation trial, a few of the “Edward Scissorhands” star’s exes – aside from Heard – made appearances in the courtroom.
