Actually think that Zendaya's apology video was more honest than people give her credit for

I kept seeing everyone in the comments saying she was reading off a script and her eyes looked too focused, but I watched it three times and noticed something different. When she talked about the specific incident at the LA event on March 12th where she apparently snapped at a fan, her voice cracked a little and she paused to take a drink of water - that's not something you'd script in. Has anyone else caught that micro-expression detail or am I just seeing what I want to see?

Wait, did you notice how her left hand was gripping the side of her chair when she mentioned the exact time and place? That's a classic sign of anxiety, not acting. She kept fidgeting with her necklace chain too, which most people would edit out if it was rehearsed.

She was definitely reading off a script she practiced too much.

quinnm77's wrong about that - if it was over-practiced she wouldn't have stumbled on the date like she did. Best thing you can do when someone's clearly nervous is just let them finish without analyzing every blink. Been on both sides of that camera and it's harder than it looks.
