For those who watched Dr Christine Blasey Ford recount her alleged assault at the hands of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanuagh yesterday, reactions were mixed.

Many spoke of their desire to sit through Dr Ford’s testimony – which often veered into painful territory as she relived the long-lasting psychological effects of the incident – in solidarity with her. Others expressed fury at the fact Dr Ford was being forced to relive trauma in front of an audience of millions and that the hearing – ostensibly to decide whether Brett Kavanaugh was fit for the role of Supreme Court Justice – seemed more akin to a trial testing Dr Ford’s credibility as a witness.

The overriding conclusion however, was that Dr Ford was a ‘hero’ for coming forward.

Except it seems, for one actor. Instead, for Rachel Butera, the voice of General Leia Organa in the animated series Star Wars: Resistance, the main takeaway from watching Dr Ford testify in graphic detail about being held down and sexually assaulted as a 15-year-old, was… her voice.

This Star Wars actress is under fire for her cruel mockery of Christine Blasey Ford’s voice
