During her recent interview with Extra, Camille revealed that she has appreciation for the actor, but she "would never" date him. “Let me just go on the record here. Never dated Johnny Depp. Never would date Johnny Depp. I think he’s a lovely person," she told the outlet, adding, "He’s not my type.”

“I remember maybe after 30 [or] 40 minutes of speaking with him, I remember having an out of body experience and looking at him and thinking, ‘He views the world so differently than I do.’ Like, he definitely uses a different part of his brain, he’s such an artist,” she continued to explain.

Back in 2022, Camille revealed to People that she was "disappointed" about the speculation surrounding their work relationship. “I care very deeply about my clients, and we have obviously become close. But when I say we, I mean the entire team, and of course that includes Johnny. And, I’m Cuban and Colombian. I’m tactile. What do you want me to say? I hug everyone. And I’m not ashamed about that," she said at the time.

“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," the lawyer added. “It’s also an unethical charge being made. It’s sexist."

Camille previously talked to HOLA! about her Colombian and Cuban heritage, revealing that her parents are "overwhelmed with excitement and happiness" after seeing her success. "They always say, ‘We’re not leaving you with much, but we’re leaving you with your education. And that’s something that no one can take away from you.’ And I think they never wanted us to have to rely on anyone. And that’s their gift to my sister and me," she said during an exclusive interview.
