In 2004 Johansen published her autobiography For alles øyne (For Everyone's Eyes), which deals with her life in the pornography industry. In the book, she states that she has come to terms with her past as a softcore pornography model. The book reveals, among other things, that she had a romance with Hollywood star Charlie Sheen in the early 1990s. She also writes about being raped while in the Mediterranean at age 20. On the talk show Først & sist on March 5, 2004, the lawyer Tor Erling Staff (the two of them were guests together on the show) revealed that he had been asked to block her upcoming autobiography.
Johansen created a stir in the media when she acquired a Bengal cat in 1997, which she named Lady Cheeba. The cat also appeared in the episode of the situation comedy Mot i brøstet that she had a guest appearance in. Shortly thereafter, she acquired two additional cats.
