Do they really need to gag her though? The majority of the public don’t believe a word she says now anyway and you can see from the interview she did after the trial that she makes herself look worse every time she opens her mouth.
I don’t think his career will ever go back to how it was before but he’s doing a lot better than she is.
Realistically, Johnny is of an age where his career would naturally start winding down over the next few years or so. In that respect, Amber could never have done more damage than what age itself does to us all. No 60 year old actor is landing the same roles they were at 30 and I doubt many even want to.
What Amber was costing him was his memory. She knows that if she caused Johnny to never land a big role again, he wouldn’t starve or suffer. What would’ve caused him to suffer, would’ve been knowing that every time one of his movies was played, his characters mentioned, his name discussed - that people would immediately think “wife beater” “abuser” “bully” etc.
A lot of people would be able to ignore that and think “ha, well I made my millions to hell with what people think” but i don’t think Johnny would. He said from the start it wasn’t about money and I don’t think that just applied to the financial judgement on the case.
The career was important to Amber. And hopefully in her quest to tarnish Johnnys past work, she’s cost herself her future.
