Devil's advocate: she was posing, yes, but she knew her photo was being taken, and didn't want to risk moving the tissue in case there was snot trailing or something. If I heard someone taking pics of me while blowing my nose, I'd be sure they were done shooting before I took that tissue away. 

Either way, the dramatic arts are a poppin!

I had to weigh in on this as I am low key obsessed with following this trial (much like many others), I too have been through DV, I know I cant speak on how other people go through recalling trauma. Also I know here is every possibility she is truthful, however the posing, the detail of the descriptions, the mannerisms, I keep thinking watching it thinking how would I be recalling this and I genuinely don't think I would be able to speak never mind noticing someone taking a picture of me. 

I also wonder since this is the second trial, and god knows how many times she's had to recount the story, that maybe she feels distanced from it? Like she's retelling a story but it's not as raw as the first few times she had to tell it? I'm also sure her lawyers have coached her (and him!) on how to tell the story, so maybe it does feel more like a "role" they're both playing.

I mean Johnny has been smirking and eating gummies so just like they were both terrible in their relationship they are terribly disrespectful in court

Her behavior definitely seems rehearsed, and it makes it harder and harder to know how to feel about this entire spectacle. I know Johnny's entire goal is to improve his image in the court of public opinion, and it seems, based on all the memes, he's definitely achieving that. But both these two should never have dated, and the craziest thing is (I think @bravohistorian said this in her podcast)... I do think it's possible they get back together. 

Has anyone else seen the videos of Amber seemingly posing for court cameras during her testimony? It makes me totally cringe, because it does feel way too played up for someone reliving such alleged trauma. I am by no means a Johnny fan, and honestly went into this thinking they were both incredibly toxic but erring on believing her allegations, but at this point, it feels like she’s putting on a show. That doesn’t take away any truth (or not truth) to what she is saying, but I really don’t think it helps her? It makes it feel really icky.

To be fair, Johnny treated his testimony like it was standup hour at the comedy cellar. He was playing for laughs and quips, and that was equally as icky.

I have to keep reminding myself that these two are actors and performers and perhaps that’s hard to turn off in dramatic moments like these? They almost default to playing a part. IDK I love to psychoanalyze.
