The actor then turns towards the cameraman, recording it, and shakes his hand as well, before saying, “See you down the road!” Giving a salute to the camera, he then gets inside the car and waves to the fans before driving away.

Johnny has sued Amber for $50 million saying she defamed him when she claimed to be a victim of domestic violence in a Washington Post op-ed in 2018. Johnny’s lawyers have said that even though Amber didn’t name him, the implication damaged his career. He has further alleged that Amber was abusive towards him during their marriage.

Amber has countersued him for $100 million claiming that he has smeared her name by calling her a liar. She has maintained that she suffered physical and sexual abuse at Johnny’s hands.

Both trials have been running concurrently in Virginia for over a month. The jury is currently in deliberation and a verdict is expected to be delivered by the end of this month or in the first week of June.
