Following the release of a Washington Post report accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, many in Hollywood attacked him and assumed his guilt Sunday.
The accuser — a woman named Christine Blasey Ford — told the Post that Brett Kavanaugh, a 17-year-old high school student, groped and attacked her.
Ford said that Kavanaugh “groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it.”
Kavanaugh denied the allegations. Another student who was allegedly present during this incident has denied the encounter happened as well, saying the story is “absolutely nuts.”
Nonetheless, many in Hollywood immediately presumed Kavanaugh’s guilt and slammed him on social media.
“Brett Kavanaugh attempted rape NOonKAVANAUGH,” Rosie O’Donnell tweeted.

Incredibly brave of Christine Blasey Ford to come forward. She’ll now face barbaric Republican wrath and also lifelong ostracizing by Kavanaugh’s insular, suburban Maryland, seersucker & dock siders, “anti-elitist” country club set.

The behavior of the GOP right now has nothing to do with whether they believe Kavanagh’s accuser.
This is entirely about the possibility of losing the Senate and being unable to confirm a right-wing justice.
They want the fruits of their Faustian bargain.

A renowned law professor passed a lie detector test administered by an FBI official, handed over therapy session notes detailing the alleged attempted rape by Kavanaugh & publicly put her name out in the open. The fact that BK may still be given a lifetime appointment is insane. https://t.co/nlMm0pzS0q

Confirmation must be delayed – he has lied under oath to congress multiple times –
Untill that and the accusation from the woman can be properly vetted and heard – https://t.co/3NORu0lIAN— John Cusack (@johncusack) September 17, 2018
