Lindsay Clancy and reporter behind 'creepy' courtroom grin share surprising connection

All eyes are on Lindsay Clancy's court trial, which has attracted much attention over the nature of the alleged criminal act and the support the mom of three is receiving.

But during the court proceedings — a bizarre moment was caught on camera.

It involved a woman in the audience grinning when the camera panned to her while others appeared solemn.

Several social media users blasted her for what they describe as a creepy expression.

However, it has now been revealed that she is Brittany Romano, a Vanity Fair reporter covering the trial.

That is not at all.

She has a personal connection to Clancy, who is on trial for allegedly killing her three children in 2023.

They were childhood friends and grew up together.

But still, what about the "creepy" grin?

Asked by a streamer, Romano explained.

She shared that when her father was seen on television earlier, he complained that she looked grim.

Now, back to the moment when the camera moved toward her, Romano — thinking about her father — gave an exaggerated grin.

That said, some observers are eager to catch her reaction next time the camera is set on the reporter during the Clancy trial.
