Alina Habba Cuts Celery — And Social Media Makes Cutting Remarks In Response
The claim that former President Donald Trumpcut the cheese during his hush money trial remains unconfirmed.
However, no one can deny that his attorney, Alina Habba, has a puzzling (and slightly dangerous) approach to cutting celery.
That’s because Ron Filipkowski, a former Republican and prosecutor who’s a vocal Trump critic, shared a video on Monday of Habba chopping up the vegetable as part of a brisket she made for Passover.
Filipkowski told HuffPost the video was made at Siggy Flicker’s home. According to Filipkowski, Flicker, a Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, is Habba’s best friend. Flicker originally posted the video on her Instagram account.
Habba is still representing Trump in media appearances but is not representing him at the hush money trial, hence the reason she was free to cook the brisket.
On X, formerly Twitter, Flicker posted a photo of Habba working on the meal, along with a recipe and a terrible pun ― #HABBAANICEPASSOVER ― as a hashtag.
HABBA NICE PASSOVER!
Started my morning with my bestie @AlinaHabba
(Jill of many trades) who came over to make a brisket for my family!
Now you know we are going to #HABBAANICEPASSOVER

However, people made a lot of cutting remarks after Filipkowski shared the video of Habba’s sawing — sorry — chopping skills.

Of course, many people weren’t impressed by the cooking tutorial.
Alina Habba even chops celery like a moron. This whole thing is a flesh wound waiting to happen. https://t.co/rTxswy2qyF

Dull knife and no friction on the bottom of the cutting board.
Fail. https://t.co/92U91Mur9a— JCMartin - I’m mostly done with this app. (@jaycmartin35) April 22, 2024
Chef Ann is screaming somewhere, watching this. The forefinger?! NO!! Why is that cutting board half off the counter?! Gahdt.
This is someone that has never cooked in their life. @chefanneburrellhttps://t.co/DslnHZAE5s— Krazy Thee Alaskan™️ (@gomer2323) April 22, 2024
She butchers that celery the same way she butchers any defense he has 😆 https://t.co/DOvrxlp5eF

There are some women, sporting a knife that big, that I’d refuse to be in the same room with. Case in point. https://t.co/lTfhgz6o61
