Legally
Blonde
is
the
movie
that
taught
a
generation
that
blonde
women
can
do
anything,
even
think
real
nice
like.
A
pivotal
part
of
the
film
(sorry
for
the
spoiler)
includes
Elle
questioning
a
witness
on
the
minutia
of
haircare
at
the
stand.
Truly
an
early
2000s
period
piece
—
we’ve
since
moved
far
away
from
depending
on
secretly
smart
big
screen
blondes
from
deducing
legal
conclusions
for
comedic
or
dramatic
effect:
Cardi
B
recently
found
herself
caught
up
in
courtroom
blonde
shenanigans.
People
has
coverage:
Cardi
B’s
wig
swap
left
an
attorney
who
was
cross-examining
her
during
a
civil
assault
trial
confused
about
her
“real
hair.” … “Yesterday
you
had
black
hair,
short
hair.
Today
it’s
blonde
and
long.
Which
one
is
your
real
hair?
Or
are
they
both
real?”
he
asked
her.
[Cardi
B]
laughed
before
replying,
“They’re
wigs.”
“Okay.
Sorry,
I
didn’t
know
that.
It’s
a
good
wig
today,
then,”
the
lawyer
responded.
You
can
see
the
exchange
here:
Oh
my
God,
this
lawyer
suing
Cardi
B.
“Which
one
is
your
real
hair?
Or
are
they
both
real?”
plaintiff’s
lawyer
Ron
Rosen
asked.
Imagine,
gaining
a
good
enough
grasp
on
RAP
to
pass
the
bar
only
to
be
confuddled
by
a
rapper’s
rolodex
of
wigs
years
later.
And
while
it
is
admittedly
funny
that
Cardi
B
is
changing
trial
wigs
like
Ray-J
changed
his
hat
that
one
time,
if
you’re
a
trial
attorney
working
on
a
high
profile
case,
have
some
tact.
Gaffes
like
that
can
tank
your
credibility
and
distract
jurors
from
the
reason
you’re
really
there,
like
arguing
that
a
celebrity
physically
assaulted
your
client.
