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.

I’m betting Trumps lawyers have documentation showing that he wasn’t even in NY on the date in question. Any business person at that level has voluminous documentation of their whereabouts for every hour of every day (calendars, itineraries, etc.) and keep them forever for just this reason.

I would think that the date would have been seared into her memory.

If the accuser doesn't have a date and time, it's a fraud.

That's the sentence that makes her accusation a lie.

A woman who is really raped, does not forget the date it happened. If I were on the jury I would vote not guilty, even if I hated Trump.

“And didn’t she say on CNN that rape is ‘sexy’?”

I saw that clip aired on TV a couple days ago. If I heard her correctly, she maintains that all women think rape is sexy. Sick puppy.

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

Ed Sheeran dad raped E. Jean Carroll as best she can remember from an episode of Coronation Street.

She read that and thought, “Hey! I could make some money with that!” or a lawyer saw that opportunity and picked Carroll to go with it.
