Trump’s rape accuser E. Jean Carroll has been ripped online for saying she will use money awarded from a lawsuit against the former president to fund a new wardrobe.
The columnist appeared on “The Rachel Maddow Show” Monday night to talk about her court victory last week, when the MSNBC host asked her about the $83.3 million award.
“You’ve talked about using some of the Trump money that you’re going to get to support women’s rights,” Maddow insisted. “Do you know what it is, what it looks like?”
Carroll immediately replied that he had “such a big and great idea for all the good I’m going to do with all this money.”
“First thing Rachel, you and I are going to go shopping,” he said happily, as Maddow and her lawyers started laughing. “We’re going to get a new wardrobe, new shoes.
“What do you want? A penthouse? It’s yours Rachel,” he joked. “You want France? You want to go fishing in France?”
Her attorney Shawn Crowley eventually had to interrupt her, insisting to Maddow, “It’s a joke.”

The disappointing exchange came just a day after Carroll vowed to spend the money on “something Donald Trump hates,” and suggested he would create a “fund for women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump” on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Carroll is now being slammed online for her “disgusting” response to Maddow’s question.
“Talking to real rape victims,” one X user writes. “They never laugh about anything about rape or conviction.
“This is disgusting @MSNBC.”
The columnist happily replied that he had “such a big and great idea for all the good I’m going to do with all this money.” He joked that the first thing he would do with the money was buy a new wardrobe, and asked Maddow if she wanted a penthouse.
Another woman said she was “a real rape victim and never laughed about rape.
“I can’t even watch TV shows with rape scenes,” the social media users wrote. “He’s a liar.”
A Trump supporter also suggested“The joke will be on him when Trump appeals to him and wins.”
A federal judge had found Trump liable for defaming Carroll before the trial began earlier this month, leaving a jury to decide only how much damages, if any, Trump must pay.
The jury ordered Trump to pay $65 million to punish him for acting “out of hatred, malice, or revenge” by claiming to have “never met” Carroll, $11 million to help Carroll rebuild his reputation and $7.3 million to compensate Carroll for the pain and suffering he suffered. borne by him. Reuters
In its verdict on Friday, a jury ordered Trump to pay $65 million to punish him for acting “out of hatred, malice, or revenge” by claiming to have “never met” Carroll – after a jury last May found him liable for abusing the writer inside Bergdorf Goodman on in 1996.
The former president was also ordered to pay $11 million to help Carroll rebuild his reputation after he claimed in June 2019 that the “Ask E Jean” columnist was a “boring job” who should “pay dearly” for accusing him of sexual assault.
He must also pay $7.3 million to compensate Carroll for the pain and suffering he suffered after receiving a flood of death threats following Trump’s remarks.
