Justice & Law Quote by Jessica Hahn

Hahn’s line lands like a courtroom oath repurposed as tabloid testimony: “As God as my witness” frames her not as a celebrity chasing attention, but as someone trying to be believed in a world trained to doubt her. It’s a move that borrows moral authority precisely because the institutional authorities she’s pointing at have failed. The sentence is built to dramatize an imbalance of power: “they said” is deliberately vague, less about naming names than about describing a system that can hide behind respectability.

The bluntness of “We’re above the law” is the real tell. It’s not a confession anyone would put in writing; it reads like the kind of arrogance victims recall because it’s the moment intimidation becomes explicit. Hahn’s subtext isn’t just “I was wronged,” but “I was warned that accountability doesn’t apply here.” That “here” matters: she’s talking about a religious-adjacent milieu where public trust, money, and male hierarchy can function as an informal immunity.

Then she twists the knife with “You’re just a church secretary.” Not “an employee” or “a woman,” but a role coded as subordinate, dutiful, and easily dismissed. It’s classed and gendered, a reminder that institutions don’t only silence through threats; they silence through status. Hahn, a pop-culture figure often treated as spectacle, uses plain language to force the listener to hear the machinery behind the scandal: not sex, not salaciousness, but power telling someone they don’t count.
