Controversy
On 12 January 2017, the footage was leaked showing Sherlock off-air having an outburst during an advert break on Nine News Now because she and fellow journalist reporter Julie Snook were both wearing the same color white (though Snook argued she was actually wearing a shade of light blue), as well as guest psychologist Sandy Rea. Sherlock stated “we cannot all be in white” for the talk segment and demanded that Snook put on a jacket.

In a statement to 9Honey, Sherlock said that she “probably overreacted” over the situation and that “Live TV can be a pretty stressful beast, at times.” Snook told 9Honey that she and Amber Sherlock were still friends and that she does enjoy working with her. The footage was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as part of Jimmy Kimmel’s opening for the show.
Kimmel said in his opening monologue “I don’t know who decided to release this tape but whoever that was I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart,” It was stated that the staff member at Nine who leaked the video would face disciplinary action, with insiders calling it a “sackable” offense.
