Today’s Savannah Guthrie posts ‘I’m not sorry’ after fans accuse her of snapping at Hoda Kotb in awkward live TV moment
TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie shared a post that said “I’m not sorry” – days after fans accused her of snapping at fellow co-star Hoda Kotb in an awkward on-air encounter.
Rumors have circulated for months that NBC presenters Guthrie and Kotb cannot stand each other off-camera.
Guthrie shared an image of the phrase "I'm Not Sorry" which was inside a picture frame.
She included the account of Today contributor Siri Daly in the post.
Daly is the author of the book Siriously Delicious: 100 Nutritious (and Not So Nutritious) Simple Recipes for the Real Home Cook.
On July 15, Guthrie and Kotb appeared to have an awkward moment on air during a cooking segment.
The pair teamed up alongside cookbook author Elizabeth Heiskell.

While the female hosts attempted to help in the kitchen, both Al Roker and Craig Melvin sat at a table along with three Yankees players Gerrit Cole, Jose Trevino, and Anthony Rizzo.
They were invited to try some of the food on-camera.
But fans claimed the segment turned awkward.
As the chef was speaking and Guthrie was mixing a salad, Kotb walked over to the table and asked: "Wait - are we done?"
Guthrie replied: "Yea that's it. Moving on. We'll just move on, we don't have time for all that."
Viewers could hear Kotb nervously laughing in the background as a close-up of the camera showed Guthrie continuing to mix the salad.
Claims have been made for months that Kotb and Guthrie are embroiled in a feud.
An insider close to production on the Today show told The Sun: “Savannah is the boss. After Matt Lauer was ousted, Savannah grabbed power, and she really wanted Willy Geist in Hoda's role, but his ratings were just not up to par for the network.
"Hoda out maneuvered Savannah and got the spot."
The source claimed that Guthrie “thinks of herself as a real news person”, while Kotb is viewed as a “lightweight”.
'LIGHTWEIGHT'
Kotb appeared to snub Guthrie on-air during a broadcast of the Today show on July 17 – days after the awkward moment during the cooking segment.
And, she shared a tweet from the journalist Arianna Huffington that discussed facing obstacles in life.
Huffington was promoting a piece written by former WWL-TV anchor Karen Swensen.
She shared the line: “We all face obstacles, but I’ve learned that life can be good when we accept inherent changes that come with it.”
Guthrie appeared on the Today show on Thursday but Kotb didn’t.
It prompted viewers to speculate that one may be fired by the end of the year.
One said: “So all the drama about #hodakotb and #savannahguthrie.
“Noticed they’ve not been sharing the stage #Today. Have a feeling one is going to be gone soon.”

While another commented: "Where is Hoda. She brings class and sunshine to the news."
They believe Kotb will continue working on the show but claimed Guthrie will be fired.
