Kanye West’s high-profile lawyer, Camille Vasquez, will no longer represent the controversial rapper.
Johnny Depp’s attorney representing the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star in the defamation trial against Amber Heard has refused to work with the “Jesus Walk” star for her law firm Brown Rudnick, TMZ reports.
The company was reportedly fired by Kanye — who legally changed his name to Ye — after allegedly opening its doors again to work with him on the condition of retracting his string of anti-Semitic remarks.
His talent agency CAA also just cut ties with Kanye following his recent comments.
The “Stronger” producer has been a CAA client since 2016 — but the agency decided to end its relationship with Kanye in light of the controversy.
Elsewhere, MRC, the production company that was set to release Kanye’s documentary, also confirmed it would no longer be working with the rap star.
“We cannot support any content that expands its platform,” the company said in a statement.
“In general, the silence from leaders and companies when it comes to Kanye or anti-Semitism is frustrating, but not surprising. What’s new and sad is that Jews are afraid to speak out in their own defense.”
Kim Kardashian has publicly condemned Kanye’s remarks.
The 42-year-old star expressed her support for the Jewish community on social media.
Kim – who owns nine-year-old North, six-year-old Saints, four-year-old Chicago and three-year-old Psalm, and the rap star – tweeted: “Hate speech is never good or forgivable. “I stand with the Jewish community and call for an immediate end to the horrific violence and hate speech directed against them.”
Still, Kim didn’t actually mention her ex-husband by name.
Kanye spent nearly two hours apologizing for the “hurt” caused by his nasty outburst while appearing on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on October 19.
He said: “I will say, I am sorry for the people I have hurt in DEFCON…the confusion I caused. I feel like I have caused the hurt and confusion and I am sorry for the families that have nothing to do with the trauma I have been through. .
“Hurting people hurts people – I was hurt too.
