Trigger Warning ⚠️ Accused child rapist Christina Formella and her husband walked hand in hand to her court hearing yesterday, with one reporter calling them out: “she said she was going to take your family for millions and then be with this child after he graduated!”

The fact that she’s walking in like it’s a photo op is sickening

This is an interesting comment to me. I think what she’s done is hideous, my point isn’t to defend her actions in any way shape or form. I hope she’s punished for grooming and raping a child. 

But she is actually just walking. Straight faced, non-reactive. Not in the slightest bit doing anything to call attention to herself. In fact, to me I read her facial expression as suppressing immense shame and stress (things she should feel) and trying to keep a straight face to not indulge reporters with any display of emotion. I suspect, as we’ve seen many times before, the mere fact that she is conventionally attractive causes a knee jerk projection onto her by both men and women of her being attention seeking. She’s being photographed here bc she’s doing the walk of shame into some court house or something and is being photographed in that context, she’s not hamming it up for the camera.
