Depp is suing his ex-wife for US$50 million on grounds of defamation and, in return, she is counter-suing him for US$100 million for nuisance.

The lawyer has also been racking up millions of views of her cross-examination on the internet and fans have also taken to social media to show their support of her savvy strategies. Some even criticised paparazzi who have tried to start rumours that Vasquez is dating Depp.

One Twitter user wrote, “I can’t believe paparazzi are asking Camille if she’s dating Johnny. Do people not know about boundaries? Let a woman do her job in peace.”

So what else do we know about her?
