Just came out that her story is almost verbatim a scene from Law and Order.
E. Jean Carroll is an American advice columnist and writer. In June 2019, New York Magazine published an excerpt from Carroll’s new book, “WhaDo We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal.” In that excerpt, Carroll, 75, alleges that Donald Trump attacked her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room.
Carroll, famed for her “Ask E. Jean” column which has appeared in Elle magazine since 1993, will appear on the cover of New York Magazine’s June 27th edition. The text on the cover reads, “This is what I was wearing 23 years ago when Donald Trump attacked me in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room.” Carroll places the incident as occurring in late 1995 or early 1996. At that stage of her career, Carroll was a renowned writer and was even nominated for an Emmy Award for her work on “Saturday Night Live” in 1975.
Carroll was raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, having been born in Detroit. Carroll is a graduate of Indiana University where she was a cheerleader, winning the Miss Cheerleader USA title in 1964. She began writing the “Ask E. Jean” column in September 1993. The column was turned into a TV show for America’s Talking, NBC’s pre-cursor to MSNBC, between 1994 and 1996. Carroll’s work has been featured in Esquire, Playboy and Outside.

1. Carroll Says Trump Pinned Her Against a Wall & ‘Forced His Fingers & Penis Around My Private Area’
Carroll’s book is released publicly on July 2. Trump is one of six men who Carroll accuses of assaulting her. Another is former CBS CEO Les Moonves. During the excerpt, Carroll says that when she first encountered Trump he recognized her as “that advice lady.” While Carroll called him “that real-estate tycoon.” Carroll described helping Trump buy a lingerie gift for a woman, at the time Trump was married to his second wife, Marla Maples. When Trump insisted that Carroll try on the lingerie, she says he pushed her up against a wall began “forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me.”

2. The White House Has Called Carroll’s Allegations ‘a Completely False & Unrealistic Story’
The New York Magazine feature notes that Carroll is the 16th woman to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct and the 14th to accuse Les Moonves of the same. Both have refuted the allegations with the White House telling New York Magazine, “This is a completely false and unrealistic story surfacing 25 years after allegedly taking place and was created simply to make the President look bad.” Carroll writes that she told two friends about the Trump incident, both journalists. One told her to go to the police while another told her to keep it to herself as “He has 200 lawyers. He’ll bury you.”
