2020 arrest and pornographic career

The arrest stemmed from an incident with his girlfriend Annalise Mishler, who alleged that Johnson had assaulted her. When officers arrived, they found visible red marks on Mishler's face. Mishler also alleged that Johnson had punched a hole in a wall. Johnson was charged with one count of assault and battery, one count of corporal injury, one count of witness intimidation, one count of trespassing, and two counts of vandalism.
After the arrest, most of Johnson's previously booked TV appearances were canceled and Johnson claimed to be beginning a career in pornography. In August 2020, Johnson struck a plea deal with prosecutors in which he pleaded "no contest" to one count of vandalism and one count of intimidating a witness. He was sentenced to 36 months probation, domestic violence classes, and faced a restitution hearing to be held a few months later. Four other charges of corporal injury, battery, trespassing, and vandalism were dropped as part of the deal.
Sunset Studios lawsuit
In July 2018, Johnson filed a lawsuit against Sunset Studios Entertainment LLC and Cristina Cimino, an executive for that company. The lawsuit accused the defendants of sexual harassment, failure to prevent harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and fraud by intentional misrepresentation. In July 2020, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that Johnson had proven multiple causes of action against the defendants.
No attorneys for Cimino or Sunset Studios participated in the hearing; the company itself has been defunct since 2019.
