E. Jean Carroll says Harvey Weinstein, MeToo movement made her come forward about Trump
"You said you left Bergdorf Goodman without seeking any help from employees or security at that point?" Tacopina asked."Yes," Carroll replied.
"When I heard the words Lisa said, 'he raped you,' those are the words that brought the reality to my mind," Carroll said."To hear Lisa Birnbach say the word rape. Even though I had just been, it's hard, when something horrible happens to you, it's hard to grasp what happened." The judge abruptly ended testimony for the day when Tacopina asked Carroll about keeping the dress she wore the day she was allegedly raped. With the jury out, Tacopina assured the judge he was not going anywhere near DNA, a contentious pretrial issue that the judge did not allow at trial.
"I thought so but I was wrong," Carroll said. She had previously testified her book did not sell well."In two decades you never revealed this story in your hundreds of your advice columns, correct?" Tacopina said."Only when you were trying to get a publisher and sell your book?" Tacopina asked, to which Carroll replied her story came out after The New York Times published its landmark story about Harvey Weinstein.
Carroll also told the jury she was assaulted by then-CBS chairman Les Moonves after an interview. She said she and Moonves entered an elevator and then"he pushed me up against the wall."Carroll, however, sued Trump in November 2019"because he called me a liar. Because he said I accused other men of rape. He said I was an operative or in a conspiracy with the Democratic Party ... and he said I was too ugly to rape. So I sued him.
"This morning, for instance, I thought I would just take a peek at my Twitter. And there it was again, the onslaught of the lair, slut, ugly, old. It's not a great way to begin the day. But I could not be more proud to be here," she said.
