Joy Behar put the men in The View‘s live studio audience in the hot seat after they failed to clap for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who came forward with allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.

In September of that year, Ford claimed that Kavanaugh (then a Supreme Court nominee) sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers in the 1980s. She testified about her allegations during the televised Senate Judiciary Committee hearing — though Kavanaugh was ultimately sworn into the Supreme Court the next month.

While appearing on The View to promote her new book One Way Back, Ford recalled receiving “horrible threats” following her testimony. However, she also said she received over 100,000 letters of support from all over the world.

“The level of the outpouring was incredible,” she said. “There were letters from all 50 states and 42 countries. They take up our whole living room and multiple other storage spaces. We’ve read about 30,000 of them and about 25% are from sexual assault survivors.”

Ford added, “It’s just incredible — sort of the opposite experience of reading the internet comments section.”

Despite facing public scrutiny, Ford had no regrets about coming forward with the allegations.

“I would definitely do it again,” she said, prompting the audience to clap for her. “It was terrible afterward for a couple of years. I had a couple of very bad years. But I survived it. It’s survivable.”

She continued, “People would say, ‘Oh, they’re gonna ruin your life,’ and say all these very abstract things and I didn’t really know what they meant. So this book is some concrete examples of what might happen and how people might better navigate it. Because there will be another person.”

Behar then brought the conversation back to the letters, asking Ford what percentage of them were written by men.

“So there were probably 10% men. We had bins called ‘male mail,'” Ford said, to which Behar replied, “What they need to understand is that they have to step up and help us. We can’t do this ourselves.”

She then turned toward the audience and said, “I watched while people were clapping — some of the men did not clap in this audience.”

The View airs on weekdays on 11/10c on ABC.
