Camille Vasquez sharply interrupted Amber Heard while the actress was on the stand for the last time yesterday, in footage that has gone viral.
Johnny Depp's lawyer has been widely praised for her performance in court over the past month and Heard faced cross-examination from Vasquez once again on Thursday, where she was challenged about faking bruises on her face.
Depp 58, sued his ex-wife Heard for defamation over an op-ed published by The Washington Post in 2018, in which she said she was a victim of domestic abuse. While Heard didn't name her ex-husband in the piece, his legal team has argued it was obvious she was referring to him. Heard, meanwhile, has countersued for $100 million for damages.
Thursday was the penultimate day of the trial, with the jury set to hear closing arguments on Friday.
At one point, Heard turned to the jury and explains the meta-data in relation to one of the photos and the Aquaman star continued talking without being asked another question.
This prompted Vasquez to interject and tell Heard to stop speaking.
"Miss Heard, there is no question pending. And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't be making an argument to the jury," Vasquez said sharply.
To which Heard responded: "Sorry, I thought you had asked me about it."
Vasquez then added: "No, I didn't ask you about anything."
Footage of this moment has clocked up more than 7 million views on TikTok.
User jd_justice posted the clip on Thursday evening with the caption: "GO CAMILLE!!!"
Similarly, the comments are full of praise for Vasquez, with the top response praising her for interrupting Heard.
"Finally being told its inappropriate, so beyond happy this was said to her," the comment reads.
While on the stand yesterday, she became emotional while testifying about the trial's impact on her life.
She said she has felt "harassed, humiliated, threatened every single day."
"Even just walking into this courtroom, sitting here in front of the world," Heard said. "Having the worst parts of my life, things I've lived through, used to humiliate me. People want to kill me.
"People want to put my baby in the microwave, and they tell me that," she continued. "Johnny...promised me that if I ever left him, he'd make me think of him every single day that I live."
Heard denied she was snickering on the stand, saying: "I'm not sitting in this courtroom laughing, smiling and making snide jokes. I'm not. This is horrible. This is painful, and this is humiliating for any human being to go through. Perhaps it's easy to forget that, but I'm a human being."
She added: "I hope no one ever has to go through something like this."
