'Star Wars' Actress Mocks Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey Ford

[RandySF]

While most of the nation was focusing their attention on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s emotional testimony for the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Los Angeles-based voice actress Rachel Butera thought another aspect of Ford’s testimony was worthy of attention—her voice.

In a now-deleted Twitter video, Butera mercilessly mocked Ford’s vocal mannerisms, specifically her slight vocal fry and her “baby” voice. Never mind that Ford, an alleged survivor of sexual assault said to have been committed by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, is reliving the most intimate moments of her trauma in front of a largely hostile group, and never mind that her credibility, phobias, and personal life are all under attack; Butera thought it necessary to deride her manner of speaking, too.

Butera, speaking in a grotesquely affected Valley Girl accent that she seems to believe is a passable imitation of Dr. Ford, poked fun at Ford’s voice. “I know it’s a surprise, to even me, that I talk this way, and that I’m a doctor and a grown woman,” Butera whined in the video, ostensibly imitating Dr. Ford.

She added, “I sound like I’m still back at that high school party,” referencing, of course, the suburban party where Ford alleges that Kavanaugh, aided by his pal Mark Judge, lured her into a bedroom and pinned her down on the bed; Kavanaugh, laughing with Judge, allegedly groped her and attempted to remove her clothes. After a panicked Ford tried yelling for help, Kavanaugh is accused of covering her mouth with his hand. Ford said during her testimony this morning that she was terrified Kavanaugh was going to accidentally kill her.

1. Good luck finding work in Holly wood after this.......

[RockRaven]

2. I'm no expert, but I'm guessing 46 year old female voice actresses are not indispensable...

maybe there are a bunch of people who could do the same job without the friction, so maybe don't put yourself right into a political maelstrom unless you are bulletproof and fireproof and very, very irreplaceable.

3. Wow, what a dumbass.

I can't even begin to imagine why she thought for a second that that would be well-received by people. Talk about a complete lack of any sort of common sense.

4. Clueless, heartless idiot. Way to make everyone hate you in your chosen profession!

9. No Doubt, SunSeeker.. here's a tweet of hers from May on "apologies"

12. How anyone could even think of mocking Dr. Ford after hearing her is beyond me.

Clueless, heartless. She'd fit right in at the White House. And she'll need the job, because no one in Hollywood will hire her after this.

[Cha]

13. I know! It takes a really self-centered, Insensitive,

Idiot to do it in the first place.

And, she only apologized "to save her career".. After she hoisted herself on her OWN Petard.

And, she gives trump kudos for his only "intregity" not having a fucking clue he's a sociopath.. THEY DON"T APOLOGIZE!

[Grubert]

5. She's a "voice actress". Here's her picture

Now I know why she's only a voice actress (she's on the right side).

6. You're not going to find this sort of comment well-received here ... despicable as the woman is ...

for her ACTIONS, her looks are really not 'fair game'.

DU is not Reddit ...

[Separation]

7. +1

Absolutely

[kcr]

14. Yeah, what an asshole she was for mocking a woman's voice, right?

Way to go, Grubert.

[Grubert]

20. She deleted the video

Because she realized she was an asshole.
An article was made about her asshole comment.

[cwydro]

19. Making fun of a person's looks is just as bad as what this "actress" did.

I guess you’re the best looking guy in the world, right?

I’d say welcome to DU, but comments like that are NOT welcomed here.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

22. Fuck this garbage post.

8. Here's a Tweet what RButera thinks of "apologies" from back in May..

Says "CANCELLED" in RED at Daily Beast, of course.. She thought she was such hot shite until she got PUSHBACK.

10. It's already taken a hold on its base.

17. The OP is stated exactly as written by The Daily Beast.

This isn't "clickbait shit". It's a report on this idiot who mocked Dr Ford's voice and got major pushback so she deleted the vid.

[manor321]

16. LOL. She is not a "Star Wars actress". That is horrible clickbaiting.

[Dave Starsky]

21. I read that and said, "But Carrie Fisher's dead."

She's literally the only female character in Star Wars.

18. She Seems Nice
