Hundreds of millions of people across the world are tuning in to witness the court battle between Hollywood giants Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, and as the drama unfolds, a new star has emerged: Mr Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez.
During her client’s defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, the young lawyer from California has captured the attention of millions.
Ms Vasquez, 37, has gained fans for her sharp legal style and has become an odd – and unsuspecting – co-star of the show.
T-shirts adorned with her name and hashtags praising her are making the rounds of social media.
A two-minute-long video of Ms Vasquez repeatedly interrupting Ms Heard’s attorney to “object” – a legal term used to lodge a formal protest in court – has amassed well over 27 million views on TikTok in just a few days.
The viral video has sparked social media parodies, with users “objecting” to their friends and family in a discussion. Hundreds of millions of people have watched TikTok videos with the hashtag #CamilleVasquez.
“I am still a Johnny Depp fan,” reads one of the many tweets about her. “But I am also now a die-hard Camille Vasquez fan”.
