A senior law expert shared a screenshot of Vásquez and accused the superstar’s lawyer of “suppressing male power.”
A senior law professor has been criticized for writing “offensive and derogatory” tweets about Johnny Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez.
Stanford Law School expert Michele Dauber took to Twitter last Thursday, sharing a screenshot of Ms. Vásquez and accusing the superstar’s lawyer of “suppressing male power,” the New York Times reported. York Post.
“Of all the women who absorb male power, women lawyers are the worst in the group,” Professor Dauber wrote.
“Desperate to prove that they are ‘real lawyers’ and understanding that being a woman undermines their identity as a lawyer, they throw women under the bus as hard and fast as they can.”
The Post has contacted Professor Dauber and Stanford Law School for comment.
During Johnny Depp’s defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, Mrs. Vasquez became a household name. Images of the glamorous lawyer grilling Heard at the booth, calling her a liar and viciously defending Depp from abuse claims went viral on social media.
Vasquez was widely praised for her interrogation of Heard and was even promoted to a partner in her law firm last week after Depp’s decisive victory in the case.
However, Professor Dauber, who teaches at Stanford’s prestigious law school, found Ms Vasquez’s performance clearly persuasive, and tweeted her scathing criticism last Thursday.
The teacher was quickly criticized for her harsh words about Mrs. Vásquez, with a follower responding: “If your child was falsely accused of domestic violence, I bet you would love for this woman to help him claim it. “.
Professor Dauber later replied: “If my son were accused of DV [domestic violence] I would have a lot more to worry about than some Pick Me Girl lawyer. But that won’t happen because I didn’t raise the rapist to a violent woman. “
Professor Dauber also shared other screenshots showing women lawyers photographed with male celebrities who have been accused of abuse, including Harvey Weinstein’s defense attorney Donna Rotunno.
Many people opposed Professor Dauber’s inflammatory tweets, and several mocked Stanford Scholar.
“Obviously, women need Michele’s approval before deciding who to represent. Michele is the person who decides all the options for all the other women, apparently,” one said.
“I’m sorry, Michele. I thought we understood that everyone is entitled to quality legal advice. Unless you think women can’t offer quality advice. Maybe that’s what you’re complaining about?” another deceived.
The teacher has repeatedly tweeted the hashtag “#IStandWithAmberHeard” several times and says she has received death threats after criticizing Vasquez on social media.
Professor Dauber tweeted her contempt for Depp throughout her six-week defamation trial, even reaching the headlines to claim that Depp’s famous Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise was racist.
Meanwhile, Ms. Vasquez has not responded to Professor Dauber’s comments.
The legal eagle is likely to be too busy fighting for its new celebrity status.
Mrs. Vasquez, who had a fond display with Depp in the courtroom, which made some fantasize that they would start dating, says her new fame is “overwhelming.”
Meanwhile, it was revealed on Thursday that the lawyer will appear in an upcoming docuserie on the Depp v. Heard, consolidating his star status.
