Camille also mocks Johnny's voice during this which... is fucking insane.

you mean amber, right?

Anyway, you might be wondering why this was a complete disaster and as a change... I won't be blaming Elaine. Every time Amber answers ANYTHING. She tries to include all of these details about how she definitely told people something or these things are definitely written down somewhere, and it's hearsay. It's not admissable because they aren't in evidence. So Elaine has to try to ask these questions in a way where Amber's response won't immediately launch into hearsay, because she cannot control her and Amber refuses to stay in the lines. It's a complete breakdown between the two, and it started in her cross-examination the same way. Elaine doesn't trust her client to answer the questions properly in the bounds of court, and Amber just does not give a fuck about any rules because she thinks she's above them and just wants to get HER narrative in, and doesn't trust Elaine to guide her with simple questions to get there. And the facts Elaine has to work with are AWFUL. The Judge is just so fed up with all of this. It's to the point that even Camille sounds completely exasperated. At one point Elaine just goes "I'm trying, Your Honor, I'm trying." RIP. Both of Depp's security were laughing during these and one laughed so hard he had to leave the courtroom.

i watched this part of the trial via a twitch streamer who was watching it. it's sad because literally the entire chat was completely bashing elaine into the ground when this was going on. they were all like "how can she be so terrible at her job," "lol no way she's getting work after this," etc. etc. not saying elaine is good but it seems like she couldn't have done much better with what she had to work with.

(that guy who was laughing so hard he had to leave was freaking hilarious, btw)
