'She lives in alternate reality': Alina Habba trolled as she compares hush money trial to 'Twilight Zone' television franchise

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former President Donald Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, recently found herself at the center of online mockery after she likened the atmosphere of Trump's hush money trial to an episode of 'Twilight Zone'.

Speaking to Fox News' Jesse Watters, Habba described her experience in the New York City courtroom as surreal, drawing comparisons to the iconic television series, as reported by The Hill.

Alina Habba compares Donald Trump's hush money trial to 'Twilight Zone'

Stepping into the courtroom on Thursday, May 9, Habba recounted a dreamlike experience to Watters. "You walk in, and it's really something surreal. You feel like you're in the 'Twilight Zone'," she said.

'Twilight Zone', an iconic television anthology series created by Rod Serling, originally aired from 1959 to 1964 and was made popular by its blend of science fiction, fantasy, and horror elements.

Habba noticed several familiar faces in the crowd, including conservative attorney George Conway, Newsmax host Greg Kelly, and CNN's Kaitlan Collins. While acknowledging their journalistic roles, she couldn't help but notice their "snarking" behavior, which added to the unusual atmosphere.

"And you know, I appreciate that they all want to act journalistic in those moments. I’m sitting there, and I’m looking, but they’re snarking, and it’s a very strange feeling," she explained.

Last month, Habba had expressed skepticism about the New York court's ability to "do the right thing" in Trump's case. As the third week of the trial concluded on Friday, the courtroom had witnessed intense moments, including the testimony of adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Claiming to have engaged in a sexual encounter with Trump at a Lake Tahoe celebrity golf event, Daniels asserts she was paid to remain silent about the affair leading up to the 2016 presidential election. However, Trump strongly denies the allegations.

Habba further criticized the courtroom dynamics, accusing those present of selectively engaging with the proceedings. "In the courtroom, people start typing on laptops when anything salacious happens, but keyboards would be silent when actual law and facts are discussed," Habba explained.

Habba's comparison of hush money trial to 'Twilight Zone' did not go unnoticed by the internet, sparking a wave of trolling and mockery directed at the lawyer.

"It must be the episode where losing just keeps repeating itself," quipped one X user, while another remarked, "Because to all in Trump’s sphere, reality bites." A user chimed in, saying, "She would, she is a dime store lawyer."

Turning to Facebook, additional users joined the mockery. "She's such a bad lawyer courtrooms feel like the Twilight zone to her," wrote one user, while another added, "Compared to the parking garage where she usually practices."

The mocking tone continued as another user referenced a fictional 'Twilight Zone' episode, stating, "I remember that Twilight Zone episode. The lawyer thought they learned about the law in law school but it turned out to be Trump University."

A user wrote, "With Habba the nut it was more like House of Horrors." Another user mentioned, "Given she lives in an alternate reality from the get go, everything is the Twilight Zone for her."
