Alyssa Milano stares daggers at Brett Kavanaugh throughout his hearing

The actress tweeted her support of Christine Blasey Ford.

Today's senate hearing involving Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford has drawn the masses to TV screens across the nation, and has inspired survivors of sexual assault to come forward with their own stories.

And inside the chamber, actress Alyssa Milano, a leading figure in the #MeToo movement, was present at the hearing, and could be seen sitting behind Kavanaugh as he gave his opening statement.

Earlier on Thursday, the actress tweeted a photo from the hearing and expressed her support for Ford, who's accused Kavanaugh -- a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court -- of sexually assaulting her at a gathering in 1982.

"I felt like I needed to be here to show my solidarity for Dr. Ford," Milano said on Thursday, according to ABC News. "On this day that will be very difficult for her."

Milano also recorded a portion of the hearing in which Kavanaugh interrupted a senator during questioning. In the caption, she wrote, "if a woman were to yell, interrupt and cry while being questioned, people would call her unhinged or say she had a meltdown."

Meanwhile, people on Twitter were impressed with Milano's icy stare throughout Kavanaugh's questioning.

Following the Kavanaugh allegations, Milano was one of many women to share stories of sexual assault that they chose not to report. She shared her story in an essay for Vox.
