“She looked me in the eye and said I was a liability” – Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie’s SHOCKING behind-the-scenes feud explodes as secret fallout leaks and a chilling on-air confession changes everything for Today

Tensions that viewers never saw are now being dragged into the light, and the picture isn’t pretty. Reports point to a bitter feud brewing between Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie, one that allegedly escalated into a verbal clash so personal it left crew members stunned. The friction, insiders say, didn’t just stay behind closed doors – it spilled into live television when Jenna, cornered by the pressure, dropped a startling admission that raised more questions than answers. How deep does the rift between these two morning show stars really go, and what role did the network play in keeping it under wraps?

Stay tuned and read the full explosive story that’s shaking the foundations of America’s most trusted morning show.

Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie are not just co-workers and co-hosts of Today, but they’re also best friends. That said, Bush Hager has a bone to pick with Guthrie: she wasn’t invited to Guthrie’s 2014 wedding.

When Guthrie married Michael Feldman 11 years ago, Bush Hager wasn’t on the guest list. On the August 20 episode of Today, Bush Hager said that she wasn’t on the invite list because Guthrie apparently “claims we weren’t friends”; in her defense, Guthrie said, “No, we were friends, but it was a small wedding” (via E! News).

Noting that this isn’t the first time Bush Hager has brought this point of contention up, Guthrie added, “We can’t do this again,” to which Bush Hager replied that they’ve “never done it here on our show.”

Guthrie was present when Bush Hager married Henry Hager in 2008—though she wasn’t a guest at the wedding. She actually covered the wedding for NBC, reporting on her future co-worker one year before Bush Hager joined the network.

“Listen, if we were married today, we would be each other’s bridesmaids,” Guthrie told Bush Hager on Wednesday.

Back in 2019, Guthrie addressed the matter of not inviting Bush Hager to her wedding five years prior, saying, “We did know each other, but we didn’t know each other well. If I’d have known that you would become one of my lifelong best friends, then I would have invited you. But I didn’t know that.”

Up to the present day, Guthrie and Bush Hager aren’t just best friends, but their kids are close friends too, with Guthrie saying in May, “We both love that this friendship is now multi-generational. And it’s well beyond us.” Guthrie also serves as a godmother to Bush Hager’s son, Hal, and Bush Hager is a godmother to Guthrie’s daughter Vale.

“I just felt so special,” Guthrie said of the honor. “I mean, it’s the greatest compliment a person could receive.”

The two women got to know one another when Guthrie became co-anchor of Today in 2012, and “We clicked right away when we met in person,” Guthrie said.

“There was something sort of in our DNA that spoke to each other, and I felt like, even though I was meeting her for the first time, I’d known her for many, many years,” Bush Hager added.

Bush Hager has also previously said that she is “grateful that this job brought us together,” and told Guthrie that “We will be friends forever. There’s no doubt about that.”
