I'm Lester Holt tonight on Date Line, Savannah Guthrie with an NBC news exclusive.

Amber Hurd speaks out in her first interview since the trial watched by millions worldwide.

I'm not a perfect victim, I get it, I'm not a saint.

I'm asking anyone to like me, but I asked the jury to just see me as human.

There's no polite way to say it.

The jury looked at the evidence you presented, they listened to your testimony and they did not believe you.

How could they not come to that conclusion? They heard over three weeks of non-stop relentless testimony.

I'm a hysterical woman, I'm a crazy woman, I can't be trusted.

The dept team argued that you were the abuser, you instigated physical violence.

I never had to instigate it, I responded to it.

This is a trial run amok, played out on TikTok and social media.

Are you nervous as we are here today about what you can say now?

Of course.

I did everything I could to stand up for myself and the truth.

Here's today's show co-anchors Savannah Guthrie with Amber Heard after the verdict.

You're here, some people might ask, why?

Are you brave? Are you reckless? Are you vindictive?

Why did you want to do an interview?

One thing I can tell you is, one thing I'm not as vindictive.

There's no part of me that season, this would be a really lousy way to get vengeance.

What do you hope to get across here? You've had everything set about you.

What do you wish people knew?
