UFC Commentator Joe Rogan Heaps Praise On Johnny Depp's Lawyer

Joe Rogan has joined the growing list of people to highlight just how much of a boss Johnny Depp's lawyer is.

In a highly-publicised six-week defamation trial where, if truth be told, neither party has come out looking particularly good, Camille Vasquez has shown just how good at her job she is.

On a number of occasions, she has completely tied Amber Heard and her legal team in knots in the courtroom, receiving overwhelming praise from those following the case.

Now UFC commentator is the latest big-name celebrity to sing Miss Vasquez's praises.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the podcaster said: "I should also apologise to the woman Camille. Her name is Camille. I said her name was Claire the other day – I think I was high.

"Camille Vasquez, Johnny Depp's lawyer, she's amazing. That lady is incredible. That woman's a beast. When she's questioning her [Heard] over whether or not she gave her money away to charity, it's amazing."

Miss Vasquez has won over the hearts of Depp's cult followers throughout the trial, but Rogan has gone one step further and bizarrely claimed that the lawyer actually "loves" her client.

“I think she loves him, and she hates Amber because Amber hurt him,” he said on a different JRE episode.

When told that Vasquez was already in a relationship with a bloke from Britain, Rogan strangely replied: "Oh well, f**k that guy. He doesn’t have a chance against Johnny Depp... Step aside, Sir, whoever you are. F**l him and his accent. There’s other fish in the sea, Sir. Move along, this is greater than you."

Slightly bizarre comments, right?

Either way, at least Rogan recognises just how amazing and inspiring-of-a-lawyer Vasquez is.

Whether it be fans praising her online or people chanting her name outside the courtroom, if one person has come out of this televised trial looking remotely good, it's Miss Vasquez.
