As she promotes her new publication, she continues to assert her accusations against Kavanaugh, who she claims sexually assaulted her at a party during their teenage years.
In 2018, Ford's allegations threatened to derail Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court. Despite the controversy, Kavanaugh managed to secure his position with a Senate vote of 50 to 48. As Molli Hemmingway from The Federalist highlighted, there was no evidence at the time, nor has any surfaced since, to substantiate Ford's claims or even confirm that she and Kavanaugh had ever crossed paths.

Ford was unable to provide specific details about the alleged incident, including the date or location, or how she arrived at or left the party. Kavanaugh, on the other hand, maintained meticulous diary records throughout his high school years.

Ford initially stated that she wanted her allegations to remain confidential, but her first call, as Hemmingway noted, was to the Washington Post. She also admitted to wanting to place an "asterisk" next to Kavanaugh's name. Ford's opposition to President Trump was well-known, and no similar allegations have been made against Kavanaugh throughout his career.

Discussing her book, Ford stated, "But now, what I and this book can offer is a call to all the other people who might not have chosen those roles for themselves, but who choose to do what’s right. Sometimes you don’t speak out because you are a natural disrupter. You do it to cause a ripple that might one day become a wave."

During an appearance on The View, Ford reiterated her allegations against Kavanaugh, earning commendation from the show's hosts. Joy Behar expressed shock that Kavanaugh continues to deny the allegations, while Ford insists they are true. Ford's book also addresses Kavanaugh's anger during the 2018 confirmation hearings, which many in the anti-Trump media interpreted as an admission of guilt.

Behar sympathized with Ford's frustration at seeing Kavanaugh "elevated" while she faced threats for her uncorroborated allegations. "It's really hard to come to terms with," Ford admitted to Behar. "But the lovely unexpected outcome was this lovely outpouring from sexual assault survivors and citizens around the world saying that they learned civic duty and patriotism and all the things that are important to all of us."

The political nature of the allegations against Kavanaugh became evident when Tara Reade accused Joe Biden of sexual assault. Her claims were largely ignored by a media industry that had previously used Ford's allegations to support the Me Too and Believe All Women movements.

Interestingly, during the discussion on The View about women "coming forward," Reade's name was not mentioned. Instead, Anita Hill, who made allegations against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings, was referenced. When asked if she had any regrets, Ford responded, "I would definitely do it again," despite the difficulties she faced in the aftermath.
