“My opinion is it was related to the accusations that Amber has made,” he responded. He also added that he had not spoken to anyone involved in Pirates except for executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer. He clarified his stance on this was because of “conversations with colleagues and studios executives ..internal and external.”

“It is something within the industry that is understood,” he added.

In a cross examination, Amber‘s lawyer clarified that Jerry never told Christian that Johnny was not being asked back because of abuse allegations. Christian agreed to this point.

Christian also revealed that he was friends with Amber until she made the allegations against Johnny, and was friends with Johnny up until about two years prior when Johnny left his agency.
