Other Work and Leaving CBS

Johnson became popular as a weathercaster, and has been voted as one of the ‘hottest’ weather forecasters in numerous online polls. It even prompted “Playboy” to offer her a feature, provided she agreed to a nude photo shoot, however, she declined the offer. She was also offered appearances in various films and television shows, in which she mainly had similar roles as a news anchor or meteorologist in small segments. She was later cast in a bigger role in the film “Battleship”, released in 2012, and is a science fiction film loosely based on the board game of the same name; stars of the film included Taylor Kitsch and Rihanna. In the film, a fleet of ships are forced to do battle with extraterrestrial ships to stop them conquering earth.

While Johnson was a consistent face on CBS2, despite her numerous projects, she announced in 2018 that she would be leaving the station. This decision was made after the birth of her first child, stating that she loved her work but now wants to spend more time with her family, especially her child. She doesn’t look to be going back to broadcasting any time soon, and wants to be a stay at home mom.
