Find out about Kanye’s choice of Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez. And learn about the latest shocker after West’s recent racist rants, which involves Vogue. Get all the details below.
Kanye West – Hires Johnny Depp’s Superstar Lawyer
Camille Vasquez became famous during Johnny Depp and Amber Heard‘s trial. As a result, she knows how to manage high-profile clients. And Kanye West hopes to take advantage of Camille’s wisdom, reported TMZ.
By hiring Vasquez, West also will turn to the Brown Rudnick firm for legal advice. And while Camille ranks as the most famous for her legal abilities during Depp’s and Heard’s trial, she will work with other lawyers. As a result, the group of attorneys will represent Kanye’s business interests.
For instance, Kanye already has faced challenges with his contracts and deals, heightening the need for a lawyer. Because of his anti-Semitic attacks, West lost a major partner, Balenciaga. And West also hired Melinda Gates’ former divorce attorney, Bob Cohen.
However, Cohen will represent West in his divorce with Kim Kardashian. Camille and her team will not get involved in the divorce. And if Kanye and Kim cannot achieve an agreement by December, the divorce will go to trial. Because of West’s social media behavior and interview remarks, experts believe Kim will easily win whatever she seeks from the judge.

Vogue Ends Relationship With Kanye West
But Kanye already has done considerable damage to his reputation. For instance, his White Lives Matter shirt continues to spark a backlash. And his ongoing racist remarks have caused many to remove themselves from Team West. Among them, Vogue magazine and its famous editor, Anna Wintour cut off Kanye.
Vogue magazine made its message clear. And the fashion publication announced that it has “no intention” of working with Kanye again. As a result of West’s anti-Semitic rants, its editor-in-chief Anna, also has cut her ties with West, reported Page Six.
A spokesperson for Vogue revealed that both the publication and Wintour will never work with Kanye again. And in addition to his racist remarks, they pointed to his repeated support for the White Lives Matter cause as the reasons. But Anna’s cut-off may feel very personal to the fashion designer.

Vogue’s editor-in-chief, 72, began her friendship with Kanye in 2009, when she invited him to her annual Met Gala. And in 2014, Anna gave West and his then-wife Kim Kardashian the cover of Vogue in the wake of their wedding. In September, Wintour even modeled Kanye’s new sunglasses line to help promote the products.
But when West mocked one of Vogue’s editors for her fashion sense, he infuriated the magazine. And that bullying of Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, combined with the White Lives Matter controversy and racist remarks, proved too much. As a result, Kanye now has lost his support from one of the world’s most famous fashion magazines and its influential editor-in-chief.
