Vasquez first came under the spotlight during the Depp v. Heard trial in which actor Johnny Depp, 59, sued his ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, for civil defamation over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which Heard painted herself as a victim of domestic abuse. Vasquez helped Depp win the trial on all three counts while Heard won on one of three counts.
On Monday, Johnny Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez, 37, jumped into action when a passenger on an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to New York collapsed and hit his head.
The 70-year-old man who is unnamed was walking past Vasquez and her bodyguard---who were seated in their first class seats---when the man fell. The celebrity lawyer, who helped Depp win over $10 million in damages from his defamation trial against Heard, sprung into action when the flight attendant called for help.
Eyewitness accounts say Vasquez dialed her brother-in-law who is a doctor and had him guide her through medical procedures mid-flight as her bodyguard put his Apple Watch on the passenger in order to check his vitals.

Amber Heard Claims Johnny Depp's Ex-Girlfriends 'Too Scared' to Accuse Him of Violence
A surgeon who was also a passenger on the flight soon relinquished Vasquez of her medical duties as the flight was prompted to return to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) where the ailing passenger could be provided medical assistance. The man was reportedly conscious when the flight landed.
Vasquez was labeled “Wonder Woman” for springing into action to help assist her fellow passenger. She was gifted a bottle of merlot and a bottle of champagne for her heroic deed.
An excited fan took a video of Vasquez on a flight to New York the same week she helped save the 70-year-old passenger, though it’s unclear if this is from the same flight.
