• Amber Heard’s first candid interview since the defamation trial has sparked heated controversy on social media.
• Fans criticising the broadcasters for omitting the actor’s significant gaffe.

Throughout an interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, the 36-year-old actor insisted on being a victim of domestic abuse, revealing a “binder full of therapist’s papers” to claim Depp mistreated her during their marriage.

“As I testified on the stand about this is that when your life is at risk not only will you take the blame for things that you shouldn’t take the blame for but when you’re in an abusive dynamic psychologically, emotionally, and physically – you don’t have the resources that say you or I do with the luxury of saying hey this is black and white,” the actor said during the actual conversation.

Fans were quick to observe, however, that the producers had posted a modified version of the chat.

The phrase “resources that say you or I do with the” was missing in the final version.

“So NBC edited Amber Heard’s interview to take out a slip-up she had that made her look bad. They cut out the part where she says victims of abuse “don’t have the resources that YOU OR I DO”, where she is basically excluding HERSELF from that victim group. Why is that NBC?” one user asked.

“#AmberHeard’s new interview is exactly why the trial needed to be televised live & unedited. The full dateline interview actually edited out the slip up about the resources she has that DV victims don’t!” another wrote.
