Cristina King Miranda, who attended Holton Arms High School with Christine Blasey Ford, is claiming - in a now-deleted tweet - that the alleged sexual assault committed by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh 'was spoken about for days afterwords in school.'
Miranda was tweeting a response to actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus regarding the letter signed by alumnae of the Holton Arms school in support of Ford when she made the claim.
'I graduated from Holton Arms and knew both Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge. Christine Blasey Ford was a year or so behind me, I remember her. I signed this letter. The incident was spoken about for days afterwards in school. Kavanaugh should stop lying, own up to it and apologize,' she wrote on Tuesday morning.

King Miranda's original, deleted tweet
King Miranda wrote she was besieged with media request
She noted she did not have first-hand knowledge of the alleged incident

A Christine King, class of 1983, signed the letter of support to Ford.
She offered more details about the alleged assault in a now-deleted Facebook post: 'Many of us heard a buzz about it indirectly with few specific details. However Christine's vivid recollection should be more than enough for us to truly, deeply know that is true.'
She also described a culture of drinking among D.C. elite prep schools.
‘The drinking ensconced in the puritanism and hypocrisy of that elite, privileged, mostly white Catholic, Washington society, was completely out of control,' she wrote.
But King Miranda later deleted her Facebook post and her tweet, saying it had 'served its purpose,' she was getting too much media attention for it and she was unsure she wanted to talk.
'Hi all, deleted this because it served its purpose and I am now dealing with a slew of requests for interviews from The Wash Post, CNN, CBS News. Organizing how I want to proceed. Was not ready for that, not sure I am interested in pursuing. Thanks for reading,' she wrote Wednesday morning.
Later Wednesday morning she wrote a message to the media saying she would not 'be doing anymore interviews' and she did not know have 'first hand knowledge' of the incident.
'To all media, I will not be doing anymore interviews. No more circus. To clarify my post: I do not have first hand knowledge of the incident that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford mentions, and I stand by my support for Christine. That's it. I don't have more to say on the subject,' she wrote.
The tweets caught fire across social media as Republicans press ahead for Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.
Her original tweet, however, raises a slew of questions about who knew what and when regarding the alleged sexual assault, which Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court, has vigorously denied.
In a bombshell interview with The Washington Post on Sunday, Ford described how she was at a teenage party with Kavanaugh in 1982, when she was at Holton Arms and he went to Georgetown Prep.
When she went upstairs to use the bathroom, Kavanaugh and his classmate Mark Judge followed her and pushed her into a bedroom, she claims. There, she alleges, Kavanaugh pushed her onto the bed, tried to take her clothes off and put his hand over her mouth when she screamed.
However, The Post reported: 'She told no one at the time what had happened to her. She was terrified, she said, that she would be in trouble if her parents realized she had been at a party where teenagers were drinking, and she worried they might figure it out even if she did not tell them.'
Ford, who's now a professor of psychology at Palo Alto University, said she escaped when Judge jumped on top of them and she managed to get free. She said she listened until she heard the boys 'going down the stairs, hitting the walls.' And after five or 10 minutes, she left the bathroom, made her way through the living room and left the house.

Writer Mark Judge says he does not recall the high school party in question
She told the newspaper a 'handful' of people were at the party and gave the paper the names of two she remembered. The Post reported those individuals did not respond to messages.
Kavanaugh has denied the incident and said he is prepared to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about it. There is a hearing scheduled for Monday although Ford has asked the FBI to investigate Kavanaugh before she testifies.
'This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes—to her or to anyone,' he said in a statement provided by the White House.
Judge said on Tuesday he would not testify about the allegation and defended Kavanaugh.
Miranda King wrote on Twitter she would not be doing any media interviews
Christine Ford has accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school, which he has denied
Brett Kavanaugh is working to save his Supreme Court nomination
'I have no memory of this alleged incident,' he wrote in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee sent via his attorney.
'I do not recall the party described in Dr. Ford's letter,' added Judge, who wrote a book about his high school days describing heavy partying, drinking, and teenage sex.
He also defended longtime pal Kavanaugh, saying: 'I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford described.'
Judge his autobiographical books Wasted and God and Man at Georgetown Prep, details the hard-partying exploits of his classmates and friends.
'[Georgetown] Prep was a school positively swimming in alcohol, and my class partied with gusto – often right under the noses of our teachers,' wrote Judge in his 2005 book God and Man at Georgetown Prep.
'Senior year, my class of eighty decided that by the end of the year we would drink a hundred kegs of beer,' wrote Judge. 'I'm sorry to say that we succeeded.'
King Miranda is a Mexico City-based performing arts curator, according to a July 2017 interview she gave, describing how she went to Mexico 20 years on a Fulbright Scholarship and stayed.
A biography of King Miranda on the Australia Latin America Foundation website, where she is an associate, notes she is a native of Washington D.C.
Her Facebook page says she went to Holton Arms.
On Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, was asked if she had heard from any other women about Kavanaugh.
She said no.

Miranda was ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
