The Amazonia Fund Alliance is an in international fundraising program for projects of preservation, reforestation, and help to indigenous tribes in the Amazon Rainforest.
Ambers 1million payment comes six months after she made the decision to settle out of court following their infamous defamati on trial from earlier in 2022. In December 2022, the actress announced in a statement shared on Instagram that she had made the decision to settle after she had attempted to appeal the courts earlier judgment a seven-person jury found that she defamed Johnny in her Washington Post op-ed about domestic violence, and he was subsequently awarded more than 10 million in damages.
Amber detailed the difficult aftermath she faced due to the trial and the response to it in her statement, following the very difficult decision to settle.
Its important for me to say that I never chose this, she wrote, adding I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed. The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways women are re-victimised when they come forward.
She said Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms I can agree to, explaining I have made no admission. This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward.
