Going through a defamation case is a whole new level of difficult. Usually, it is not a pleasant experience in any case. However, Johnny Depp managed to come out of it with a great paycheck and by the looks of it – with a new girlfriend. A lawyer girlfriend who at one point represented Meghan Markle at a separate defamation trial.
Joelle Rich is the lawyer who was in the courtroom during the whole Johnny Depp defamation trial. Even though she did not represent him in this trial, she supported him from the back seats. However, she is the one that represented Meghan Markle back in 2019 when she sued Associated Newspapers for breaching her privacy.
Johnny Depp’s New Lawyer Girlfriend Represented Meghan Markle In A 2019 Case
Meghan Markle sued Associated Newspapers, which own both The Daily Mail and the Mail. The reason behind the lawsuit is the publication of a confidential private letter she wrote to her dad, Thomas Markle back in 2018.
After her father missed her wedding, Meghan decided to put everything that lay on her heart on a piece of paper and send it to him. This was somehow intercepted by the newspaper company and they didn’t think twice before making the letter public.
Johnny Depp’s fans were rooting for the actor to start dating his main lawyer in the defamation trial, Camille Vazquez. The rumors eventually appeared, however, that was denied by the lawyer. She claimed that there is nothing romantic in her relationship with Depp in any shape or form. It is strictly professional. Even though they looked like having a ‘connection’ during the trial.
In any case, the relationship between these two did not happen. It is due to various reasons, she having a boyfriend being one of them. Now, we find that there is one more reason. Johnny Depp is dating the Londoner, Joelle Rich. Rumors state that they were dating during the trial as well.
Joelle Rich is a lawyer that assists people that are in Johnny Depp’s profile, famous and public figures. Through her work, she protects their privacy and reputation. Rich is really good at protecting people’s security and privacy from media interruption and media attention. She is a lawyer that has experience in this sort of cases for more than 10 years.
Joelle Rich managed to win the case for Meghan Markle and proved that the distribution of her letter was unlawful.
The Daily Mail’s argument for defending their actions is that the letter was written in a composition that seemed like it was purposely written for publication. It was as if she almost knew that the letter will leak.
“This is not only a victory for me. But for any individual who has at any point felt scared to stand up for what’s right.” – Meghan Markle said after winning the case. ”Tomorrow it very well maybe you. These hurtful practices don’t occur very rarely. They are an everyday bomb that divides us, and we as a whole deserve better.”
