I was a bit surprised she didn't 'request' they turn it off then and there, although I didn't notice it after the engines turned on so not sure if they stopped or were just too far back.

(OT, but I felt sorry for her later when she was one meal short and realised 3D was an impostor who "thought it was un-allocated seating". Couldn't quite believe that!)
This doesn't sound like a very professional FA. Being a child doesn't make it OK to listen to videos ion business class (even CE) without headphones. She should have insisted that the thing be turned off or muted immediately if headphones weren't available and not "hopefully" after takeoff.
