In her first interview after her defamation trial against Johnny, Amber said that she loves him and she did everything to make their relationship work. “I love him. I loved him with all my heart. And I tried the best I could to make a deeply broken relationship work and I couldn’t,” Amber told NBC.
In the same interview she said, “To my dying day, I’ll stand by every word of my testimony. I made a lot of mistakes, but I’ve always told the truth. His lawyer did a better job at distracting the jury from the real issues. This is the most humiliating and horrible thing I’ve ever been through. I did do and say horrible, regrettable things throughout my relationship. I behaved in horrible, almost unrecognizable to myself ways. I have so much regret.”
The trial, live-streamed to millions, featured intimate details about the celebrities’ private lives. Amber was especially targeted in social media posts and internet memes.
Johnny had sued Amber for $50 million saying she defamed him when she called herself a victim of domestic abuse in a Washington Post op-ed she wrote in 2018. She counter-sued him for $100 million. Both the actors had alleged that the other person abused them throughout their short-lived marriage between 2015-2017. Johnny had lost a previous case in the UK that he had filed against the tabloid The Sun for calling him a “wife-beater”. In that case, the judge had ruled there was sufficient evidence to back up the allegation.
