Last year, Chua\u2014who became known as \u201cTiger Mom\u201d after the release of her controversial book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,<\/em> on her tough parenting style\u2014wrote an op-ed in The<\/em> Wall Street Journal<\/em> after Kavanaugh\u2019s nomination praising the judge and calling him a \u201cmentor to women<\/a>.\u201d The op-ed was published before Christine Blasey Ford came forward with allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her<\/a> decades prior when they were both in high school. He has vehemently denied the allegations<\/a>. Chua immediately faced criticism that her op-ed was intended to guarantee her daughter a Supreme Court clerkship. Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld responded to the criticism of her mother on Twitter, saying she wouldn\u2019t be applying for a Supreme Court clerkship \u201canytime soon\u201d because she had to finish her ROTC obligation after graduating from Yale Law School.
