The show shared an exclusive clip from the segment ahead of its arrival, where Amber spoke about being unfairly portrayed on social media and her thoughts regarding the jury's verdict.

"Even if you think that I'm lying," she said: "You still couldn't look me in the eye and tell me on social media there's been a fair representation. You cannot tell me that you think this has been fair."

Savannah also asked her about how she felt about the jury's decision, as the Aquaman star revealed that she didn't "blame the jury."

"I don't blame them. I actually understand, he's a beloved character. And people feel they know him. He's a fantastic actor."

In late May Johnny won his lawsuit against Amber following a six-week trial that was live-streamed online. Johnny's $50m defamation case against Amber stemmed from a 2018 op-ed article she wrote for The Washington Post in which she said she was a "public figure representing domestic abuse."

While the piece did not identify Johnny by name, his attorneys said it "incalculably" damaged his career, costing him acting roles. She then countersued him for $100million.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor was awarded compensatory damages of $10million and a further $5million dollars in punitive damages.

The jury also awarded Amber $2million after finding that Johnny had defamed her through his attorney.
