E. Jean Carroll mulls suing Trump AGAIN over ‘vile’ CNN remarks as he appeals current lawsuit ruling

May 12, 2023 | | Print Article

Columnist E. Jean Carroll may have won in court against former President Donald J. Trump earlier this week but she is now mulling suing him again over remarks that he made at CNN’s town hall where he ridiculed her in front of a cheering audience, mocking the perverted name that she gave to her pet cat as well as suggesting that she might be a racist.

Carroll told The New York Times that she was not pleased with what she described as Trump’s “vile” comments that he delivered onstage at New Hampshire’s Saint Anselm College with the possibility existing that she may soon lawyer up to avenge her honor, a move that could end up costing the 2024 Republican party frontrunner more money in addition to the $5 million she was awarded by a New York City jury for his alleged sexual assault of her in the early 1990s, an encounter that he has denied ever took place.

“It’s just stupid, it’s just disgusting, vile, foul, it wounds people,” Carroll said, adding that she had been “insulted by better people” and that her attorney sent her a transcript of Trump’s comments and she had only read the first paragraph.

“I don’t know her. I never met her. I have no idea who she is. I had a picture taken years ago with her and her husband. Nice guy, Johnson. He was a newscaster, very nice man. She called him an ape. Happens to be African American. Called him an ape,” Trump said, leaving open the possibility that Carroll is a racist.

“The judge wouldn’t allow us to put that in. Her dog or her cat was named ‘Vagina.’ The judge wouldn’t allow to put that in all of these things. But with her, they could put in anything. Access Hollywood,” he added of her pet, a name that in a decent world, would have her charged with cruelty to animals.

“I am upset on the behalf of young men in America,” Carroll fumed, saying that “her longtime stylist told her that her 15-year-old son was talking about what Mr. Trump had said. “They cannot listen to this balderdash and this old-timey view of women, which is a cave-man view.”

“Everything’s on the table, obviously, and we have to give serious consideration to it,” Carroll’s lawyer Roberta A. Kaplan told the Times as to whether another lawsuit was in the offing. “We have to weigh the various pros and cons and we’ll come to a decision in the next day or so, probably.”

On Thursday, as expected Trump appealed the ruling in her current lawsuit against him.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, after the ruling came down, Trump said that he has “absolutely no idea who this woman is” and that “This verdict is a disgrace.”

“It is a continuation of the greatest political witch hunt in history,” he told the conservative news outlet. “We’ll appeal. We got treated very badly by the Clinton-appointed judge,” Trump said. “And [Carroll] is a Clinton person, too.”

Carroll, who raised eyebrows during a 2019 CNN interview when she gave Anderson Cooper her opinion that she thought most people think of rape as being “sexy” has quite a history of odd, if not creepy, views on sex, some of which were resurfaced by Twitter users after the verdict against Trump, including one about getting sex tips from her dog.

“Sex Tip I Learned From My Dog: When in heat, chase the male until he collapses with exhaustion . . . then jump him!” Carroll tweeted in 2010.

“There is no such thing as a slut. Only sexual geniuses,” she wrote in 2014.

Other nuggets from Carroll’s Twitter feed that don’t reflect positively on her claims of sexual victimhood at the hands of the pre-politics Trump, back when he was just a billionaire real estate mogul and reality TV host:

The users who dug up her smutty missives added their own comments on several.

Whether the vulgar tweets remain up or vanish from the platform remains to be seen but it’s probably reasonably safe to surmise that Trump’s lawyers have already saved screenshots for the upcoming appeal.
