The pair met during Johnny’s lawsuit against The Sun in 2018, with Joelle a member of the actor’s legal team.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star filed a lawsuit against the British tabloid, over a published article that labelled him a “wife-beater” during his marriage to Amber Heard – a claim Depp denied.
The British lawyer is in the midst of a divorce with her ex-husband, who she shares two children with.
Joelle was also spotted at Depp’s most recent defamation trial against Amber Heard earlier this year in America – however, she was not there as a member of his legal team.
“There was no professional obligation for her being there,” a source told US Weekly.
Fans had previously linked Depp to another woman on his legal team – Camille Vasquez, who represented him in the US Trial, however, the American lawyer quickly shut down the rumours, telling People that it was a “disappointing” narrative.
“I guess it comes with the territory of being a woman just doing her job,” she explained earlier this year.
“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.”
Whilst Johnny won a massive $10 million payout during the defamation trial, ex-wife Amber Heard has since appealed the court ruling.
“We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the first amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict,” a spokesperson for the actress said in a statement, via The Guardian.
“While we realise today’s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice.”
