Johnny Depp’s attorney — who helped lead him to victory in his defamation trial against Amber Heard — has reportedly stopped working with Kanye West due to his anti-Semitic remarks.
Camille Vasquez informed her firm, Brown Rudnick, that she was not willing to represent the billionaire rapper less than a week after he hired her, TMZ reported on Monday.
Sources told the outlet that despite the well-respected lawyer’s stance, her firm was still open to working with West, 45, if he were to retract his statements.
However, the Yeezy CEO refused to back down, saying in an impromptu press conference outside his daughter North’s basketball game on Friday night, “I want to talk about the Jewish comment, it’s actually proven the exact point that I made.
“It’s going to take all of us to come together. We gotta get the truth before we can get the love, if not we are just loving the lies.”
Just days earlier, West issued a half-apology on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” saying he was “sorry for the people that I hurt with the defcon [comment] — the confusion that I caused. I feel like I caused hurt and confusion.”
Brown Rudnick was reportedly fired after it held the “Power” rapper to the condition that he should apologize.
A rep for Vasquez and the firm did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

The Los Angeles-based lawyer was supposed to represent West in his business matters, handling contracts and other deals, according to TMZ.
The fashion mogul’s partnerships have been hanging by a thread, with Balenciaga officially cutting ties with him last week and Adidas under severe pressure to do so as well.
West recently boasted in an interview on “Drink Champs,” “I can say anti-Semitic things, and Adidas can’t drop me. Now what? Now what?”
The apparel company said earlier this month that its deal with West was “under review,” but has yet to announce an official decision.
