Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is dating an attorney named Joelle Rich, who repped him in the UK trial that he lost. Apparently, Johnny didn’t hold that defeat against her, because TMZ has confirmed they are indeed together.
Quoting a source, close to US Weekly said that Johnny Depp’s and Joelle Rich’s “chemistry is off the charts,” adding, “It’s serious between them. They are the real deal.”Joelle Rich is married but is now in the process of getting divorced. She and her estranged husband share 2 kids. Rich was not part of the Virginia trial team that beat Amber Heard, but she was present in court for “support,” according to Us Weekly which broke the story.
Joelle Rich is a London-based attorney and partner at a major international law firm Schillings, which also represents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. According to her official bio, Rich helps to protect the privacy and reputation of people who are exposed in the public eye.
Her bio also reads that Rich is working towards defending her clients “against false and defamatory allegations in print, online, and on social media.” She reportedly comes with over a decade of experience in media law and holds expertise in “protecting individuals’ privacy from unwarranted intrusion and media attention.”
Rich is expertise in libel, privacy, and copyright disputes, and firmly believes in using the law to ensure that her clients are protected “from arbitrary interference into their personal or business lives.”
Last year, Rich received the Silver award for the ‘’Future Leader Initiative of the Year’’ at the Citywealth Future Leaders 2021 Awards. She was also shortlisted as a finalist for the ‘Future Leader in Private Client Services’ by Spear’s Wealth Management Awards 2021.
Joelle Rich made news in 2018 as part of the team representing Johnny Depp in his UK libel trial against The Sun. Depp sued the publication for calling a “wife-beater” in one of their articles. The Golden Globe winner lost the trial against The Sun, and his request to file an appeal was also denied. At the time, Rich told Deadline that she “seriously questioned” the U.K. judge’s decision.
She also said that Johnny Deep was set to “presenting the complete, irrefutable evidence of the truth in the U.S. libel case against Ms Heard.” More recently, Rich made headlines after she was romantically linked to Depp.
