In aclipfrom the conversation that aired onTodayMonday morning, Heard, 36, chatted with Guthrie, 50, about how she feels social media impacted the trial.

“But,” she continued, “even somebody who is sure I am deserving of all this hate and vitriol, even if you think that I am 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.”

In another glimpse of the upcoming interview, Heard also spoke about the jury involved in the case and how she doesn’t blame them for their verdict.
After Guthrie told Heard, “The jury looked at the evidence you presented, they listened to your testimony and they did not believe you, they thought you were lying,” Heard responded: “How could they make a judgement, how could they not come to that conclusion.”
“They had sat in those seats and heard over three weeks of nonstop relentless testimony from paid employees and, towards the end of the trial, randos — as I say,” she continued.
When Guthrie asked Heard to confirm that she doesn’t blame the jury, the star said, “I don’t blame them, I actually understand. He’s a beloved character and people feel they know him. He’s a fantastic actor.”
But, as the host reminded Heard that the jury’s “job is to not be dazzled … and look at the facts and evidence,” the guest stressed, “Again, how could they, after listening to three and a half weeks of testimony about how I was a non-credible person, [and] not to believe a word that came out of my mouth.”
