Amber Heard DRAGGED for 'playing the victim' in Savannah Guthrie interview
Amber Heard may be regretting her decision to "speak out" after a video clip from her interview with NBC's Savannah Guthrie was shared on social media Tuesday.
Heard sat down with Guthrie in her first interview since her defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp. The interview is scheduled to air on the "TODAY" show in two parts this week and in its entirety on "Dateline" this Friday.
A preview clip from the interview posted on Twitter has garnered more than 2 million views and thousands of comments — but the "Aquaman" actress isn't going to be pleased with her latest notoriety.
“Even somebody who is sure I am deserving of all this hate and vitriol — even if you think that I’m lying, you still couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there’s been a fair representation. You cannot tell me that you think this has been fair,” Heard says in the clip.

\u201cThe jurors didn\u2019t read any of the social media stuff, they listened to the evidence & concluded she was lying. I suggest it\u2019s time for Ms Heard to stop playing the victim.\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1655121250

\u201c@9inelivez @TODAYshow @SavannahGuthrie @NBCNews @DatelineNBC I wasn't a fan and if she'd have been telling the truth I'd be calling him out. She's a lying, manipulative abuser who still needs to use his name and victims for attention. She represents the worst kind of women!https://t.co/a9ZEjvoJyS\u201d— TODAY (@TODAY) 1655120298
\u201c@TODAYshow @SavannahGuthrie @NBCNews @DatelineNBC What she doesn't get or doesn't want to admit is that social media opinion was created based on what ppl saw in court: evidence presented, her behavior, her testimony, etc. It wasn't based on some hearsay. Same evidence the jury saw and based its verdict on. Don't blame it on ppl\u201d— TODAY (@TODAY) 1655120298
\u201c@DonnaBa32121840 @ABrandNewName_ @TODAYshow @SavannahGuthrie @NBCNews @DatelineNBC This was exactly me. I don\u2019t keep up with the lifestyles of the Rich and famous. Trust me I don\u2019t envy them whatsoever lol. I didn\u2019t know either one of them had never watched either one of them play in movies. Of course I\u2019ve heard of Johnny Depp who hasn\u2019t. Drugs, alcohol, etc.\u201d— TODAY (@TODAY) 1655120298
\u201c@DiosaBEL7 I thought she said she wanted to be left alone and in peace. Why the heck is she out there doing interviews for ?She very much wants to be in the limelight and continue to stay relevant. One more proof that this was for attention and out of spite.\u201d— King Kokina (@King Kokina) 1655223559
\u201c@hottmessNHGQ @TODAYshow @SavannahGuthrie @NBCNews @DatelineNBC Insulting the intelligence of the jury. Really? That won't get her an appeal. They found she acted with MALICE.\u201d— TODAY (@TODAY) 1655120298
\u201c@TODAYshow @SavannahGuthrie AH has not proven that social media played any role in the trial. The trial is not the TV coverage, duh. It is a legal thing. She must show the jury knew or a witness or judge was affected. Nada. Fix this bias.\u201d— TODAY (@TODAY) 1655120298
\u201c@simpi_lovemyway @TODAYshow @SavannahGuthrie @NBCNews @DatelineNBC Unreal! I can\u2019t believe this woman would go on TV in an attempt to tell everyone that watched the trial that we were influenced by social media. We were influenced by the lies told by Amber herself!\u201d— TODAY (@TODAY) 1655120298
A second video clip from the Guthrie interview has also been making the rounds on Twitter, with similar results for Heard's (lack of) public appeal.

\u201cAmber Heard is a liar. Change my mind.\u201d— Steven Crowder (@Steven Crowder) 1655294828
