E. Jean Carroll wasn't surprised 'Law & Order: SVU' aired Bergdorf Goodman rape scene 7 years before she made Trump allegations

In 2012 — seven years before E. Jean Carroll publicly accused Donald Trump of raping her — "Law & Order: SVU" aired an episode featuring a rape in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room, while a victim was trying on lingerie.

Carroll's allegations against Trump, first published in a book excerpt in New York magazine in 2019, sounded remarkably similar.

She claimed that, in the mid-1990s, Trump raped her in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman's lingerie section.

In a 2019 email shown in court Monday during her civil rape and defamation trial against Trump, Carroll dismissed the eerie parallel as a coincidence.

"This happens all the time with Law and Order stories," Carroll wrote in response to an email pointing out the similarities between her story and the show's plot. "Also, there are 200 scripted shows a year on TV, this kind of thing is bound to show up."

"I'm surprised this sort of thing is not seen more often," she added.

Carroll, a longtime Elle magazine columnist, has said that Trump raped her one evening in 1995 or 1996. According to her version of events, she bumped into Trump at the entrance of the Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan and agreed to assist him in buying a gift for a female friend.

The two eventually went to the lingerie section on the sixth floor and she jokingly told him to try on a lacy bodysuit, she said. In the dressing room, Trump pushed her against the wall, penetrated her with his finger, and raped her, Carroll said.

She made it up based on her memories of that show.

Did Ed Sheeran steal a song from Marvin Gaye? Nope.

Did this woman steal an idea from a TV show? She sure did.

Didn’t she write a book of fantasies about being raped by famous people?
And didn’t she say on CNN that rape is “sexy”?

She should, (and would), say she told the writers of SVU about her experience and that’s how the show came up with the idea. The Libtard writers, directors, actors and staff would all corroborate her lame story as actual scientific fact. No doubt about it.

I read there was correspondence between her and some other Trump hating fool and Carrol said she had a surprise or something like that. Soon after, she made this complaint.

Her entire demeanor during the Cooper interview screamed LIAR to me. Truly abused/assaulted people don’t behave that way at all.

Any woman who waits 20 or so years to report a sexual incident, should be considered a liar. If it wasn’t important enough to report at the time, then it sure as hell isn’t important to bring it up now. The main reason women need to report these things at the time they occur, is to stop the person who committed the offense, so it doesn’t happen to anyone else he/she comes in contact with. Trump wouldn’t have touched this nutcase in a million years. And where are her corroborators if it effected her life so much as she claims? How do you go through such a traumatic event that it affects your future relationships, and not tell anyone what happened? Especially if the alleged rapist was a famous and wealthy real estate mogul? This woman is full of BS.

Not only that, she can't even say when it happened?

It is a foregone conclusion that Donald Trump will lose the trial.

This is not because he did what she claims (it is a ludicrous claim), but because he is being tried before a far-left democrat judge and a jury consisting entirely of far-left Manhattan democrats.

Hopefully, he can get the judgment reversed on appeal, but that will take years.

Isn't he trying to lose. His lawyer isn't trying to win.

It should have been "seared in her memory" like John Kerry's Christmas in Cambodia was in his.
