Johnny Depp's lawyer, Camille Vasquez, is sick and tired of the ongoing romance rumors surrounding her and her famous client, calling them «disappointing.»Vasquez, 37, who successfully defended the star in his defamation trial against Amber Heard, said in a new interview with  that while the rumors are disappointing, it all, sadly, «comes with the territory of being a woman just doing her job.»She added, «It's disappointing that certain outlets kind of ran with it or said that my interactions with Johnny — who is a friend and I've known and represented for four-and-a-half years now — that my interactions in any way were inappropriate or unprofessional.

That's disappointing to hear.»Something that should help dispel the romance rumors once and for all is that Vasquez does, in fact, have a boyfriend.

She told the outlet she's «very happy in my relationship» while underscoring that it's «unethical for us to date our clients.» And it's more than that.«It's sexist,» she said. «It's unfortunate and it's disappointing, but at the same time it kind of comes with the territory.

I can't say I was all that surprised.»A source close to the defamation trial told ET last month that rumors are «entirely, 100 percent, unequivocally untrue.» Vasquez, who was promoted to partner at the Southern California-based firm Brown Rudnick following the trial, entered the spotlight during her cross-examination of Heard, producing some of the most tense moments since the trial kicked off on April 11.«I care very deeply about my clients, and we have obviously become close.
