“Donald Trump was being very light. It was very joshing and very funny,” she said. “I was flirting the whole time, probably.”
But, she said, the mood changed rapidly after they stepped into the dressing room.
“He immediately shut the door and shoved me up against the wall. He shoved me so hard my head banged. I was extremely confused,” she said. “I pushed back and he thrust me back against the wall again, banging my head again.”
Carroll told the jury the situation “turned absolutely dark”.
“He leaned down and pulled down my tights,” she said. “I was pushing him back. It was quite clear I didn’t want anything else to happen.”
Carroll described the former president’s attempts to kiss her as “a shocking thing”.
“My whole reason for being alive at that moment was to get out of the room,” she said.
But Carroll said she could not escape Trump’s grip. Speaking quietly and slowly, she said he raped her.
Carroll said she escaped after she was able to lift her knee and push him off. She fled the store.

Now that I’ve heard of her execrable existence and her book, I found this in the New Yorker: January 24, 2020:
....the advice columnist’s observation that most problems—at least the ones that women write to Elle about—can be traced to one source: men. Her proposal is that men be harvested for their component elements (iodine, phosphorous, carbon, hydrogen, etc.), which could be sold on the open market, where each bloke’s essence would fetch about a dollar.
Lest this seem harsh, our advice columnist gives men a chance to be redeemed: she goes on the road, stopping only in places named for women—Elnora, Cynthiana, Anita, Bonnie—and wherever she goes she asks the people she meets the title question: What do we need men for? “Yard work” is one answer.”
This is her account about Les Moonves. It reads like a cheap novel. If this were a real assault, no way would one write about in such a manner. She’s a nut.
“He steps into the elevator behind me,” Carroll writes, “and his pants bursting with demands, goes at me like an octopus. I don’t know how many apertures and openings you possess, Reader, but Moonves, with his arms squirming and poking and goosing and scooping and pricking and prodding and jabbing, is looking for fissures I don’t even know I own, and — by God! — I am not certain that even if I pull off one of his arms it won’t crawl after me and attack me in my hotel bed. Hell, I am thrilled I escape before he expels his ink.”
I agree that it’s confusing, but if it were in the winter she may have worn tights under the dress to keep her legs warmer. When she ran out of the dressing room she would have been very disheveled and her makeup smeared. It would have been noticed and commented upon.
Even Walmart has attendants for their fitting rooms. No one else notice Trump, a household name, in the ladies fitting room in an upscale clothing store in New York?
I’ve been in their dressing rooms. You can still hear and see and, at least back then, they had staff working in/near the dressing rooms. I’m not sure if the accuser said she worked there or was shopping at the time, but if she were shopping staff would have been hovering around her and Donald Trump trying to give them great service. There would have been little opportunity to do what they did. Especially if this was the womens dept. Back then, I doubt they let men in the women’s dressing room area and if they were allowed, thry would be accompanied by a sakes woman to maybe help a wife, but still doubtful.
So, she was flirting, and voluntarily went into a booth alone with him, then she was expecting ... what?
And if it was not consensual, then she why didn’t she scream? In a store?
She was wearing tights? Ever try to have sex with someone wearing tights? You have to have some cooperation to help get them off.
Her statements sound dramatic, but unbelievable.
That is a really dumb comment. Rapes actually do occur where none of that is present. And it’s probably MOST, if not nearly ALL of them.
It’s also difficult when one is standing vs sitting. She claims she ran away. Were her tights around her knees or ankles after being pulled down (cuz they are very hard and time consuming to pull up). If so, when she tried to run she would have fallen on her face.
She’s a New Yorker. She doesn’t have a yard.
Is this court in Manhattan?
Then it didn’t happen.
I doubt many rapes or crimes in general have all that.
Got blue dress?
In this specific case, no, it’s not a dumb comment. But thank you for your reply.
Sounds like she knew him as the real estate tycoon, and tried to seduce him.
And a photograph with both no different than some autograph given out at a golf tournament. Doesn’t mean the sports star knows the patron at all.
Got an exact date, or even the exact year? No?
I believe slick Willy, still has the blue dress… Or, rather, the blue dress still has some of slick Willy…
No evidence. No police report. Decades later a well rehearsed tale. All for one purpose. Sully and tarnish Trump.
True. Good point.
Still “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.”
Another book by another author that dumps on males (using the excuse of the cost of prisons and law enforcement to deal with mostly males):
Men Are Not Cost-Effective: Male Crime in America by June Stephenson (1995)
From a reader review: “This book has really become a classic in my opinion, though the title can be shocking and off-putting to many. That’s a shame. Really what this book does in a fact based no -nonsense approach is discuss how much of our tax dollars are spent on trying to ‘rehabilitate’,’educate’, and control men in society. This is because the majority of social problems - real - not imagined - are perpetrated by males. The author does a good job of asking WHY?”
It’s a wonder the superior females put up with them at all.
At least up to now.
She can”4 even say when it happened.
That’s because it didn’t happen.
This is just political harassment. Next month it’ll be something else.
Anything to distract from Potato Joe’s disastrous administration.
