Johnny had filed a $50 million defamation suit against Amber for implying in an article in The Washington Post in 2018 that he abused her during their short-lived marriage. Amber filed a countersuit of $100 million against Johnny for calling her a liar. A jury found both the parties guilty of defaming each other, but awarded a bigger compensation to Johnny. Amber now owes him $10.35 million, which according to her lawyers she is not capable of paying.
