What BBN said about it

  2. Priya ValdeverdeThank you, Gloria. Happy to be here. Off the record.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNow, TMZ reports attorney Mark Geragos has responded to claims that he is the Jane Doe leaker in the Cornell case.

  5. Priya ValdeverdeA lawyer responding to leaking accusations by running to TMZ. That is textbook lawyer behavior.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is an opinion about a story, not a claim about a person. I will note it.

  7. Priya ValdeverdeOf course. A good denial is just a leak that has a lawyer. Off the record.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTell us about Objection Sustained.

  9. Priya ValdeverdeI play a judge who is also the stenographer, the bailiff, and the jury. It is a very small budget. Off the record.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo, the court is one woman.

  11. Priya ValdeverdeAnd a shredder. This is Gerald. He has eaten every unflattering review I have ever received.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo, to be clear: have you ever leaked a story about yourself to the press?

  13. Priya ValdeverdeNever. I have two publicists for that. Off the record!

  14. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwo.

  15. Priya ValdeverdeOne handles the stories that are true. The other handles the ones that should be. Off the record.

  16. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI want to get to the lightning round. Favorite courtroom word?

  17. Priya ValdeverdeSidebar.

  18. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLeast favorite?

  19. Priya ValdeverdeSubpoena. It sounds like a sandwich you cannot return. Off the record.

  20. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLater this half hour, what did diggers find under a field near Venice after sixteen hundred years? Now, where can people see your film?

  21. Priya ValdeverdeObjection Sustained opens in theaters soon. I am also, off the record, getting a new haircut on Thursday.

  22. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMs. Valdeverde, I suspect TMZ will want a word on how it learned your haircut.
