"You slipped up there”: Amber Heard’s edited slip up in Dateline interview sparks criticism online

Following a week of promotional clips teasing Amber Heard's post-trial interview on NBC's Dateline with co-host Savannah Guthrie, the episode finally aired on Friday, June 17. In the interview, the actress opened up about her experience in the trial amid much public scrutiny from Depp supporters.

In the promo clips of the interview, Amber Heard was heard saying:

"...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.'"

With this comment, Heard seemed to distance herself from domestic violence victims, who do not have the luxury of categorizing things as black or white. This was referred to as a "slip up" by YouTuber and comedian Dave Neal. After the episode aired, numerous netizens also took to social media to express their disapproval towards Heard.

A tweet by a user named Spiral Goddess mentioned:

"You slipped up there #AmberHeard you've never been a DV victim."

What did NBC edit out of Amber Heard's interview with Savannah Guthrie?

What enraged people further was the difference between the promo clips and the final interview that aired on the channel.

When Amber Heard's interview officially aired, NBC allegedly edited out "you and I" from her quote, which was the controversial reference to victims of domestic abuse. In the final interview, the actress said:

"...when you're in an abusive dynamic psychologically, emotionally, and physically - you don't have the luxury of saying, 'hey, this is black and white.'"

In his reaction to the omission, body language expert Bedros Akkelian took to his YouTube video reaction about the "slip up" and said:

"She excludes herself from the group of people (that) have been abused and ties herself to Savannah Guthrie. (She says) 'You and I, who are not part of that group.' That is really not how we speak if we feel like we are part of that demographic that we just created."
