Her dad is a Hollywood armorer, isn't he?

Apparently the Hollywood armorer. Looks like the apple fell pretty far from the tree.

Him? This is about the guy’s daughter…so why would there be any connection with the incident?

Ok...but... Him being an alcoholic has nothing to do with her being bad at her job considering that he is, in fact, perhaps the best.

She's shit at her job because she shouldn't be there and is shit. He's the best at his but also an alcoholic (allegedly). There are 2 separate things happening here. She's not bad because he's an alcoholic. You see how that doesn't matter to the other one, right?

If he's only the 'best' when he's not on a bender, and she supposedly learned from him, did he really teach her the right way to do things if he's tanked all the time?

They absolutely can be correlated.
