Johnny denied the dating rumors
Recently, Johnny has attracted attention not only because of his career but also due to personal rumors. Photos of the actor with a red-haired girl sparked speculation about a new relationship. However, Johnny’s representative quickly denied these claims, clarifying the situation.
No romance, just French lessons
On July 19, sources close to Johnny confirmed that there is no romantic relationship between the actor and the red-haired woman who accompanied him. The mysterious woman is actually Johnny’s French tutor. The actor is currently preparing for his role in the upcoming film La Favorite and has hired a French teacher to help improve his language skills.
Earlier that week, Johnny performed at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia with legendary guitarist Jeff Beck. The actor was seen walking with this woman, helping her carry her luggage, which sparked rumors online. However, Johnny’s side made it clear that she only went with him for professional purposes. Despite the innocent nature of the relationship, tabloids and social media exploded with rumors that Johnny had a new girlfriend.
Legal victory amid speculation
While the dating rumors are dispelled, Johnny has some positive news on the legal front. On the same day, a Fairfax, Virginia court rejected Amber’s appeal to overturn the libel verdict in their infamous case. The ruling is a significant victory for Johnny, affirming the court’s previous decision.
If Amber wants to continue disputing the case, she will have to file a formal appeal and post a bond of $8.35 million, the amount of the judgment against her. This comes after their high-profile libel trial, in which Johnny sued Amber for $50 million over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post.
The lawsuit between Johnny and Amber became a major media event, sparked by an article Amber wrote two years after their divorce. In this segment, Amber discusses being a survivor of domestic abuse, although she does not mention Johnny by name. However, the article’s implications had serious consequences for Johnny, causing him to be blacklisted in Hollywood and lose several popular projects.
In response, Johnny filed a defamation lawsuit seeking $50 million, claiming the article caused irreparable damage to his career. Amber countered with her own $100 million defamation claim, alleging that Johnny’s legal team tarnished her reputation in the media.
After a lengthy and highly publicized trial, the jury ruled in favor of Johnny in June 2023, awarding him $10.35 million in damages. However, Johnny was also ordered to pay Amber $2 million for defamation due to his lawyer’s comments on the Daily Mail. After the trial, Johnny expressed relief, saying on social media: “The jury gave me my life back. I’m truly grateful.”
What’s next for Johnny?
Despite the rumors and legal battles, Johnny continues to focus on his work and personal development. The actor is currently preparing for his next film project, La Favorite, in which he will play King Louis XV. Johnny is known for his dedication to his craft, and learning French is just one example of the amount of time he puts into his role.
Additionally, Johnny’s music career remains active. His collaboration with Jeff Beck continues to grow, and his artistic passion extends beyond acting and music. Johnny is also an artist and has a strong appreciation for literature, poetry, and visual arts.
Johnny’s personal life is often a topic of public interest, but recent rumors about a new relationship have been proven to be false. As the actor prepares for his future projects, he appears to be focused on his career and creative pursuits, while also navigating ongoing legal battles. Despite the challenges, Johnny remains a multifaceted artist with a continuing presence in film, music, and art.
