reunited in court with Johnny Depp next month when she defends the actor in his latest legal drama.Vasquez, 37, attained celebrity status during Depp’s headline-grabbing defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard — and is now gearing up to represent him again as he faces claims he assaulted a worker on a film set.The attorney will be part of Depp’s legal team when he heads to Los Angeles Superior Court next month to answer the lawsuit brought by Gregg “Rocky” Brooks, the location manager on Depp’s 2018 movie “City of Lies.”Brooks claimed in legal papers that Depp, now 59, twice socked him in the ribs and then allegedly yelled, “I’ll give you $100,000 to punch me right now!”Depp may testify in the LA trial — which is slated to begin July 25 — weeks after taking the stand in Fairfax, Virginia, in his defamation case.
