Actress and #MeToo activist Alyssa Milano was spotted in the hearing room Thursday as US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman accusing him of sexual abuse, Christine Blasey Ford, faced off before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The former “Charmed” star has been a vocal opponent of Kavanaugh and has been seen leading protests against his nomination in recent weeks.
“It takes a certain type of human to hear a woman scream and have the innate reaction to put their hand over her mouth,” Milano, 45, told The Post. “That to me is very telling about who this person is.”
“I don’t think a man’s misogyny should take precedent over a survivor’s humanity,” she added.
The Bensonhurst native said there’s nothing Kavanaugh can say to change her mind. He has vehemently denied the allegations.
“I feel like it’s hard enough for victims to come forward,” she said. “To come forward with a lie, I can’t wrap my head around it. It just doesn’t make sense to me. … There’s a lot stacked against him.”
Milano said she’s reached out to Ford but hasn’t heard back, adding, “This is clearly something that’s been painful for her.”
She’s concerned about the spectacle of Thursday’s hearing and making sure that Ford is treated fairly.
“As a survivor myself, I think the most important thing we could ask for is fairness,” Milano said. “And I don’t really know if this is indicative of what that would be like.”
Milano sat beside New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand during the hearing, which she attended as a guest of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who sits on the committee.
The founder of the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and assault, Tarana Burke, sat behind them.
