E. Jean Carroll, fresh off her victory in a federal appeals court on Monday, bragged about employing “tricks” in order to sway a jury hostile to President Donald Trump.
To win the case, Carroll said she and her attorneys sought to make her “f**kable” in the eyes of jurors who might otherwise have been doubtful that President Trump desired to sexually assault her in an upscale department store dressing room 30 years ago.
“I had a talkshow in 1996. I went through that, took screenshots of my hair, cut it in a bob, and then I found the hairdresser and the makeup person who made me look like that in 1996,” Carroll explained in a recent interview.
The makeup artist “came every day to trial” to “do my hair and makeup” before Carroll faced the jurors.
It was “exactly like it was in 1996. I wore the exact same clothes,” she continued.
Of course, the passage of time makes it impossible for Carroll to fully transform into her younger self, “but I looked like someone who could have looked like” the victim in the case, she laughed.
“It was enough, it was enough. It was a trick,” she admitted.
President Trump was dealt a setback on Monday when a second federal appeals court ruled that a lower court did not err in upholding a judgment against him. Carroll was awarded $83.3 million after first alleging in 2019 that Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman store in the mid-1990s.
Though he was not found guilty of rape, a New York jury found Trump liable for civil battery and defamation stemming from statements he made about the case.
In his appeal, Trump leaned heavily on a 2024 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which concluded that presidents are immune from official acts taken while in office, thereby rendering him immune from the suit. The court’s rejection of that argument followed an earlier rejection by a lower court, as reported by Reuters.
Trump has denied ever meeting Carroll and dismissed her lawsuit as frivolous, Just The News reported.
“This woman is not my type!” Trump wrote in 2022 about the former fashion magazine writer.
Trump’s 2022 social media post resulted in a $5 million judgment, but the largest portion — $65 million — consists of punitive damages after a jury found Trump acted with malice, the NYT reported.
Attorneys for President Trump have promised to bring their appeal to the Supreme Court.
Mixed messaging over the decision has resulted in defamation claims brought by Trump, as well. ABC News reached a $15 million settlement with Trump following George Stephanopoulos falsely claiming Trump had been found guilty of rape multiple times during an interview.

A mockery of justice.
This freak is a insane lunatic....maybe she drops dead before collecting a penny.
So she’s ADMITTING she made the entire story up, tricked the jury into believing her..so this entire case needs to be thrown out she needs to be prosecuted for perjury
If only.
Here’s hoping.
Unfortunately.
Pronto.
This just proves Carroll is nothing but a sleazy con artist.
To win the case, Carroll said she and her attorneys sought to make her “f**kable”.
Jury takes bait hook line and sinker who knew.
Try not to get too upset about it folks......life has a way of catching up with people like this.....maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow......but it’ll happen.
A miracle or 12 blind jurists?
“””A miracle or 12 blind jurists? “””””””””””
Blinded by ORANGE MAN BAD TDS.
It’s nyc and Trump bro.......she coulda looked like Quasimodo and they woulda sided with her.
That makes the jury the only ones who have ever looked at her and thought “she’s f**kable”.
Did the hairdressers and makeup people come to her blue “Mouse House” out in the woods? What a duplicitous freak.
What a buck cherry song she is
And a brown paper bag.
“Tricks” to sway the jury?

That is not “tricks”. That is perjury - bearing false witness.
