Attorney Camille Vasquez has been praised and called a real-life ‘wonder-woman’ for her heroic actions in the court and now on the airplane. Recently while traveling from LA to New York City, an elderly man on the American Airlines flight collapsed and hit his head hard while walking past Vasquez and her bodyguard seated in the first class. She jumped into the action and rushed to the man’s aid.

TMZ reports that Johnny Depp’s 37-year-old lawyer allegedly sprung into action and attended to the man. Additionally, passengers on the aircraft revealed that Vasquez got in touch with her medical brother-in-law.

As her bodyguard removed his Apple watch to check the old man’s heart rate, the doctor-led Vasquez through a series of steps to see if the passenger had suffered any brain bleeding as a result of the accident or if he was having a heart attack.

When a surgeon was found on board the aircraft and was able to assist the elderly passenger, the emergency was soon resolved.

The airplane then diverted back and returned to Los Angeles, where medical personnel was waiting for the man, who had subsequently recovered consciousness, to be led off the aircraft and transferred to a medical care.

According to an American Airlines representative who confirmed the incident to TMZ, another flight attendant gave Vasquez two bottles, of champagne, and Merlot, and called her a “wonder woman” for her fast action in helping the passenger.

After successfully representing the 59-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actor in the well-reported defamation trial against 36-year-old Amber Heard on June 1, the attorney rose to fame this year.

Vasquez expressed her gratitude for all the support she has received since taking on the role of the Hollywood actress during an interview she gave on Good Morning America on June 8.

She said: “It’s been surreal. If I’m being honest, a bit overwhelming. But if I can be an inspiration to young women who want to go to law school and study and work hard, then I’m all for it.”

The day before Depp’s team and Amber Heard’s attorneys meet to discuss the specifics of Depp’s $10 million defamation victory against his ex-wife, Vasquez’s heroic save also occurred.

According to the Daily Mail, if the parties are unable to reach an agreement by tomorrow (June 25), trial judge Penney Azcarate will file the jury’s judgment, which would oblige both parties to pay the other party’s order damages.

Depp was given a $15 million damage award, but owing to a Virginia state law issue, the sum was eventually lowered to $10.35 million. She received $2 million after he was convicted responsible for one count of defaming Heard.
