When asked if she was a fan of Depp's music, Vasquez replied: 'Yes. Yes, of course we are!' before getting into a black SUV and taking off.

Vasquez became a star in her own right while defending the Hollywood actor in the six-week trial with her impressive performance in the courtroom.
Depp's team was led by Brown Rudnick partner Benjamin Chew and included nine other attorneys.
But Vasquez later emerged as a major player in the case with her fierce cross-examination of Amber Heard and her closing arguments to the jury during which she branded the actress the real abuser.
As the trial progressed, Depp's fan lavished praise on the lawyer for her work defending the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor, tweeting out pictures of themselves wearing 'I heart Camille Vasquez' T-shirts and memes portraying her as the Nordic god of thunder and Marvel character Thor.
Brown Rudnick has since publicly acknowledged Vasquez's stellar performance as well, announcing Tuesday that she has been promoted to a partner in the firm.

'We are pleased to announce that Camille Vasquez has been elevated to partner. She was a key member of the litigation team that won a jury verdict last week for actor Johnny Depp in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard,' the firm said in a statement.
Chairman William Baldiga noted that the law firm typically promotes partners when its fiscal year ends.
'But Camille's performance during the Johnny Depp trial proved to the world that she was ready to take this next step now. We are incredibly proud of her and look forward to what she will accomplish as our newest partner,' Baldiga added.
In a statement responding to her promotion, Vasquez said: 'I am delighted that Brown Rudnick has given me its full vote of confidence by having me join the partnership.'
The high-powered lawyer's tender interactions with Depp in the courtroom had spurred rampant speculation that the pair's relationship might run deeper than attorney-client - and Vasquez only fueled the rumors by chuckling coyly when asked.
All along, however, sources say she has been quietly dating
