Johnny Depp‘s lawyer Camille Vasquez has been branded “Wonder Woman” after helping with a medical emergency while flying from Los Angeles to New York.

Vasquez, who shot to fame winning Depp $10m in his defamation case against Amber Heard, reportedly helped an elderly passenger who collapsed and hit his head while 40,000ft in the air.

The 37-year-old and her bodyguard were in first-class when a man in his 70s walked past and collapsed, TMZ reported. When the American Airlines flight attendants called for help, Vasquez and her guard rushed to his aid.

Vasquez is said to have contacted her brother-in-law doctor, and he walked her through the steps needed to check if the man was suffering a heart attack or a bleed on the brain. Her guard’s apple watch was reportedly used to monitor the man’s heart rate.

Following the ordeal, Vasquez was gifted bottles of Merlot and champagne, with passengers calling her “Wonder Woman.”
