The longtime media personality attended the men’s singles final at the U.S. Open on Sunday afternoon. No. 1 seed Alexander Zverev took down No. 8 seed Ben Shelton, who was looking to become the first male American player to win a Grand Slam.
Photos and videos of Guthrie at the U.S. Open went viral on social media, with some criticizing her for seemingly having fun, as her mom, Nancy Guthrie, continues to be missing.
“Idk where Nancy Guthrie is, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t at the U.S. Open,” one critic, Zack Peter, wrote on X.
Guthrie’s fans, meanwhile – along with most rational people – are defending her appearance on Sunday.
“?? Is the new internet standard that anyone who has lost a loved one is no longer ever allowed to leave the house or enjoy themselves ever again?” one supporter replied.

“Can I ask why everyone talks about this like it’s her fault,” one fan added.
“She’s allowed to leave the house and enjoy herself,” one fan added.
“How are people becoming this judgemental?” one fan added.
“Is the thought here that Savannah is not allowed to have fun ever again because someone kidnapped her mother? Is she supposed to be knocking on doors every night?” one fan added.
Savannah Guthrie continues to ask for help
Savannah Guthrie is continuing to ask for help from the public.
“We are begging for help. We are desperate. We need someone to come forward. Someone knows something. Someone suspects something. Someone recognizes the writing in the ransom demand notes. Someone has noticed something different, strange, troubling or just unusual – perhaps with someone they deeply love. Perhaps they are afraid to come forward. Perhaps they are conflicted. Perhaps they are angry or upset for being in this situation. There is a way out – to tell what you know. You can do so anonymously. The reward is available,” she announced.
“There is a way to end this situation and do the right thing. We are real people, facing real grief, doing the best we can, and counting our many blessings along the way – most especially the prayers and love from good people, which we feel deeply. We need your prayers, we need your kindness. We need the good to be stronger than the evil. If you are following this story for entertainment or for profit, you are not on her side – you are part of the harm perpetrated against her. We will never stop looking for answers – and we will never stop looking for the light. We will always be hoping and praying and believing in the best of our world – in spite of circumstance. This is what our faith makes possible. Please. Bring her home. 💛”
Guthrie and her family are continuing to offer a $1 million reward for her safe return.
