The Untold Truth Of Laura Wasser
Let's face it, divorces can get really nasty very fast. So with celebrities and their millions of dollars on the line, they clearly want the best of the best when it comes to lawyers. That's where Laura Wasser comes in. The Los Angeles native has assisted in some of the most high-profile cases since the late '90s.
Back in 2016, the award-winning lawyer represented Johnny Depp during his turbulent separation from Amber Heard, according to TMZ. Wasser also represented Angelina Jolie during her divorce from Brad Pitt, which must've been the best choice as the mother-of-six has full custody of their children, per Entertainment Tonight. Lest we forget when the star lawyer also helped Anna Faris separate from ex-husband Chris Pratt, though their separation was much more amicable in the end.
Wasser is so well-known in the divorce world that she's widely believed to have inspired Laura Dern's Oscar-winning character in the 2019 movie, Marriage Story. According to Town & Country, Wasser modestly claimed she was just one of many attorneys that helped shape Dern's role. Still, she's got quite the reputation.
