If Mignogna was actually closely cooperating with his attorneys then his abysmal deposition would indicate that he was a nightmare client; but we know he was not sitting in with his lawyers as they composed their legal strategy, and so his absurd behavior indicated was completely kept out of the loop.

He also volunteered a lot of info about his history of cheating on his partner, which was baffling.

we only have his actual testimony via screech streaming it, who was given it by vic's lawyers in seemingly a pr stunt. presumably they thought he'd screen the video and only show parts that reflected well, but instead:

which also gets us this gem that should be the #1 result for vic:

I mean, not that it would have helped, because Ron Toye's deposition was just as bad because Vic's attorney didn't know how to depose.

A lot of Vic stans seemed to think this went straight to him at first until Nick said something to the effect of “well, it’s for his legal fees...” and people put two and two together and tried to tell his fans that the money was going straight to Beard for his “representation.” They didn’t want to hear that though or didn’t care.

I forget if this is before or after Vic won negative-$250k in his lolsuit

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
People also don’t seem to realize that there are certain kinds of jobs that you can only really afford to do if you come from money.

Ever wonder why so many big-name journalists are WASPs with family connections? Needing an unpaid internship at a prestigious publication in order to get work later in your career kind of filters for that.

Ever wonder why some comedians, musicians, etc. come from money? Because that’s the main way you can actually make those careers instead of hobbies.

I fully expect voice acting is in that category too.

Sorta but not really? At the end of the day, like with most things that require you to have some acquired knowledge + practiced ability, it also relies a lot with getting stupid lucky. I mean, having the moolah certainly does make it easier (because as you mentioned, you have that safety net) to get lucky given that you get "additional shots", but it's not unheard of to be able to make a living as a musician/comedian/etc even if you started piss-poor.

(Source: Started as a busker when still a little brat and sorta expanded upon that to the point that it's still a steady source of my income even to this day)

Bringing it back to Mignogna: The thing that it's super obvious from what's being mentioned a couple of times itt and elsewhere is that the fucker has had a stupid amount of "second chances", and the fucker has squandered every single loving one of them. Like I know rich people get used to playing with a different set of rules, but it's ridiculous. Like:
  • He was a youth pastor
  • English teacher
  • Video production teacher
  • Cop in a resort town
  • Music producer/performer
  • At least a couple other things I'm forgetting
  • Voice Actor
And given that some of the reports of him being a rapey shithead go back +30 years, I bet my guitar collection that he got shuffled out of/lost the majority of those jobs because of the aforementioned rapey shitheadedness.
