She then turned to Amber's charitable donations. The actress admitted that she has yet to donate the full $7million divorce settlement she pledged to charity in 2016.

However, Camille noted that Amber had the total sum of the settlement in her accounts for 13 months before Johnny announced he was taking her to trial.

Amber also testified that, because of tax benefits to her ex-husband, she didn't want him to donate the money to both charities directly but should send the money directly to her to do so.
