Trump attorney Alina Habba prepped avocado as she told social media video influencer Ron Filipkowski to “Get a life!” in a new video responding to a viral clip of her “chopping celery.”
Filipkowski runs a Twitter/X account that specializes in finding and sharing clips that are popular with opponents of former President Donald Trump.
He had a minor hit recently with a short clip captioned “Alina Habba gives a masterclass on how to saw celery.”
The clip was part of a series of videos in which Habba cooks Passover brisket with Real Housewives of New Jersey star Siggy Flicker.
Many anti-Trump social media users critiqued Habba’s knife work, which did pose a risk to her fingers but did not result in injury and appeared to produce fairly uniform pieces.
After the cooking clip caused a stir and went viral, Habba posted another video in response, this time prepping avocado. The video was good-natured and self-deprecating, and featured more knife work and bonus mock-seductive eating:
Hey, guys. I’ve never done a video like this, so I thought I would try because Ron Filipkowski is getting like a million views from me chopping celery.
This is me eating avocado.
Happy Passover, everybody.
Hey, Ron, you little trollski! Look! I’m not good at this either.
(drops avocado).
Oops!
GET A LIFE!
Filipkowski explained his viral video on the MeidasTouch Uncovered podcast, and said he had seen Habba’s response video, which he thought was “very funny.”
“It’s all in good fun, I thought this was a lighthearted moment in all of this craziness,” Filipkowski said, adding “But I think, even though she was acting, she tried to sort of act like she wasn’t upset, I think it’s pretty clear she was upset by this.”
