President Trump’s rape accuser E. Jean Carroll was criticized online after she said she would use the money she received from her lawsuit against the former president to pay for a new wardrobe.
The columnist appeared on “The Rachel Maddow Show” Monday night and spoke about last week’s court victory when asked about the $83.3 million award by the MSNBC host.
“You talked about using some of President Trump’s money that you’re going to get to strengthen women’s rights,” Maddow pressed. “Do you know what it is or what it looks like?”
Carol immediately responded, “I have some really big, great ideas for all the good things we’re going to do with this money.”
“First of all, Rachel, you and I are going shopping,” she said happily, as Maddow and the lawyer started laughing. “We’re going to get a whole new wardrobe and new shoes.
“What is it? Penthouse? That’s your Rachel,” she joked. “Do you want France? Do you want to go fishing in France?”
Her lawyer, Sean Crowley, eventually interrupted her and insisted to Maddow, “It’s a joke.”
The gruesome exchange led to Carroll vowing to spend the money on “things that Donald Trump wouldn’t like” and hinting at creating a “fund for women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.” It happened just the next day. on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Carroll is currently being criticized online for her “sneaky” answers to Maddow’s questions.

The former president also spoke out after Carroll claimed in June 2019 that the Ask E Gene columnist who accused her of sexual assault had a “terrible job” and should be “paid a lot of money.” Carroll was ordered to pay $11 million to help restore his reputation.
He will also have to pay $7.3 million to compensate for the pain and suffering suffered by Carroll, who received numerous death threats after being reprimanded by President Trump.
