I wasn't shocked by Amber either. (I think ASH might have been though - they were close.) But if you have read any of the interviews, interacted in the fandom, or followed the Q&A's posted from cons on youtube (which are all still available by the way) - you'll figure out that there is no love lost between Amber, Gellar, Emma Caulfield, Marsters, Brendan and Charisma regarding Whedon. Danny Strong and Busch knew about Amber - Amber was dating Busch at that time, and they are close. I was admittedly surprised Lenk came out in support. Noxon also surprised me, because she's friends with Whedon.
