Joyful Heart in the News

There’s no doubt that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh were on most people’s minds for the past 24 hours or so.

Therefore, it was no surprise that “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay commented on Ford’s testimony while accepting the champion of hope award for her work with the Joyful Heart Foundation at Thursday night’s 17th annual Samsung Charity Gala in New York City. “I cannot speak tonight without addressing the events of the day,” she said. “I just want to say that I am and have always been deeply moved by courage. And I believe that is what I witnessed today.”
