Madison Beer Is ‘Distracting’ Justin Herbert From His Career and Isn’t Happy When His Attention Moves Elsewhere
Following the announcement that Justin Herbert and Madison Beer are engaged, the pop star was seen at Los Angeles Chargers training camp and practice having a few intimate moments with her fiancé.
The photos and video clips have gone viral, and fans were split on how they feel. Some declared that they were happy for the couple who look so “in love,” while others are calling Beer a “distraction” for being at camp with Herbert when he should be focused on football.
So what does an expert think?
Inbaal Honigman is a body language and behavioral expert. She has appeared in the media for more than two decades, offering her expertise and perspectives on current events and pop culture figures for several outlets, including Big Brother’s Little Brother, Elle Magazine, and talkSPORT radio, to name a few.
Speaking on behalf of Casino.ca, Honigman told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “Madison’s moves and gestures when she’s around Justin are theatrical. She employs body language that is flamboyant, broad, and expansive. She stretches her arms wide as they sway, her pointer finger fully unfurls when pointing, and when Madison touches her hair, she does so with much flair and exaggerated movement.
“The hair-touching is a grooming gesture, showing her need to be liked. When a girl plays with her long hair, it sends a message to those around her that they are meant to find her pretty. These excessive movements are designed to ensure that all eyes are on her. Justin’s eyes are required to be on Madison at all times.”
Honigman continued, “As Madison spreads her arms and hands wide around her body, she increases the amount of space she allows herself to take up. By widening her frame, Madison takes up more room in a desire to increase her importance and relevance. Taking up physical space makes her feel confident, present, and powerful.
“Madison enjoys the attention afforded to her by these large movements. Like primates or snakes that make themselves appear bigger in order to scare off enemies, Madison uses these exaggerated postures to make herself feel safer and more central to Justin’s vision.”
The expert added, “Walking next to her, Justin takes her by the hand, covering Madison’s small hand with his large palm. But she soon pulls her hand out of his and takes a step forward, leaving him to trail behind her. Justin’s attempt to lead is met with failure, and Madison is instantly crowned the leader. Once Madison has taken the lead, she licks her lips, revealing how satisfying she finds being in the lead.
“When the couple is seen chatting with Christian McCaffrey, Madison takes a step back, then moves forward toward her man. She stomps her left foot and rolls her heel, signifying impatience.”
According to Honigman, “When Justin’s attention is diverted from her, Madison’s unease is apparent. In addition, she may be rubbing her hands together or rolling her wrists. If Madison is rubbing her hands together, this is a sign of scheming, while the wrist-rolling could suggest secret thoughts.”
