Is Johnny Depp Dating His Former Uk Lawyer Joelle Rich?

Johnny Depp has a new girlfriend, and she works as a lawyer. But that lawyer isn’t the one.

ET has confirmed that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor is dating U.K. lawyer Joelle Rich. Rich represented Depp in his libel case against The Sun’s publisher, News Group Newspapers after the paper called him a “wife beater” in an April 2018 article. In November 2020, the judge ruled that The Sun proved that what it wrote in the article was “substantially true.” Depp lost the lawsuit.

A little over four months later, the actor asked the U.K. court to let him appeal the decision, but the court said no. Rich of Schillings Partners told Deadline at the time that she “seriously questioned” the U.K. court’s decision and that the actor was looking forward to “presenting the complete, irrefutable evidence of the truth in the U.S. libel case against Ms. Heard, where she will have to give full disclosure.

Because they’ll need one when our queen Camille Vasquez is done with Amber Heard, and her career is the queen.”
