'Unethical' Today Show slammed for Amber Heard interview, but Savannah Guthrie splits Internet

'Savannah grilled her pretty hard, so that miss Turd can bury herself in her lies. I'm enjoying the interviews,' said a user

Amber Heard's explosive interview on Today's show with host Savannah Guthrie where Heard broke silence on her 'unfair' defamation trial against Johnny Depp created a stir among the users on social media. During the bombshell interview, Heard stood by her emotional testimony and accused Depp of lying on the witness stand about being abusive. "To my dying day, I will stand by every word of my testimony," Heard firmly stated. There were many who were highly critical of the interview and criticized Guthrie for her "unethical" approach to the case. Whereas, some users seemed to be in support of Guthrie for her witty approach to the case.

The first part of the interview streamed on Thursday, June 16, while the second will stream on Friday, June 17. However, the teaser of the interview was played on the 'Today Show' on Wednesday, June 15. In the first half of the interview, Guthrie grilled the actress on whether she instigated physical violence against Depp, questioned her about recordings that Heard claims were taken out of context and informed her that the First Amendment doesn’t protect “lies.” And throughout the interview, Heard lacked insightfulness on abuse.

Writer, Marielle wrote, "I can't help but wonder if the roles were reversed and Johnny Depp had thrown bottles at Amber, sliced her finger off, admitted on tape to hitting her, bruised her face on their honeymoon, kicked a door into her head, etc. if he would be asked by morning shows to do interviews."

To which a user replied, "Totally True!! Imagine that! You continue to roll out the red carpet to #AmberHeard for what?!! Why not look into her behavior disorder instead?! Or how she slipped in admitting using a bruise kit?!! Today show is Unreal!" Another user wrote, "Savannah Guthrie's appalling, unethical Amber Heard interview."

One user slammed the show and wrote, "Today's news channel is very baised on this issue. They are supporting amber. Now It feels like propaganda ."

"Savannah...who interviewed the h.s. MAGA hat kid who disrespected the Native American. I haven't watched her since. She'd interview a mass shooter for ratings", another user wrote. 

However, there were many who applauded the wittiness of Guthrie and her way to approach the interview. A user defended Guthrie by saying, "I disagree. Savannah challenged her with excellent questions. She’s a journalist. Don’t disparage her for granting an interview."

In defense another user wrote, "Today show is doing their job, catching stories that people want to hear. Savannah grilled her pretty hard, so that miss Turd can bury herself in her lies. I'm enjoying the interviews."

One user wrote, "Guthrie ripped Amber a new one and called her out on her s**t, tfym."
