voice actress mocks Dr. Blasey Ford's voice

Butera, who plays Leia Organa on the Disney Channel’s animated series, posted the video on Twitter in which she mocked Ford’s “baby” voice.

“I don’t know if anybody is listening to the Dr. Blasey Ford testimony about Brett Kavanaugh but this is how I sound. I know it’s a surprise to even me that I talk this way and I’m a doctor and a grown woman,” Butera said imitating Ford. “I sound like I’m still back at that high school party…um…I can’t help it, I just have this kind of voice like a baby, even though I’m a doctor. And I’m on this media circus, political stage, and I have kids myself. I don’t know why I speak with vocal fry, um, but you can listen to my testimony and hear that a grown woman sounds this way. Dr. Blasey Ford, thank you.”

Social media users slammed Butera for the video.

“If Rachel Butera is not fired from ‘Star Wars Resistance’ I’m not watching,” one person tweeted.

“I promise you I will never watch a single show featuring Rachel Butera’s voice. For as long as I live I will remember she made fun of a victim of sexual assault,” a social media user wrote.

I'll take your word for it, but what the hell was she thinking when she did this? How could she not know this would blow up in her face? I hope she learns to think before she tweets next time.

Dr. Ford isn't a celebrity. She was the victim of an assault that haunts her to this day. Rachel shouldn't have gone there. It was in very poor taste. I hope she learns from this.

girlish or high pitched voice. Mocking her voice is cruel.

I honestly never paid attention to how a woman's voice sounds, other than noticing differences between young women and older women. But voice pitch, I never associated much with it other that that was just the way the woman's voice was naturally.
