We shared a two-bedroom unit in the basement of Lawrence Hall on the Old Campus. Despite our living conditions, Brett [Kavanaugh] and I did not socialize beyond the first few days of freshman year. We talked at night as freshman roommates do and I would see him as he returned from nights out with his friends…

It is from this experience that I concluded that although Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk. I did not observe the specific incident in question, but I do remember Brett frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk.

—James Roche, former roommate of Brett Kavanaugh, in a statement following the allegations of fellow Yalie Deborah Ramirez against the Supreme Court nominee. Roche, CEO of HELIX RE, went on to note he believed Kavanaugh “capable” of the attack as Ramirez described it, and said Ramirez was “exceptionally honest, with a trusting manner.”
