About our E. Jean Carroll news
Latest news on E. Jean Carroll, covering Trump lawsuits, Elle magazine columns, legal victories, defamation cases, sexual abuse trial and journalist career developments.
E. Jean Carroll, an American journalist and former Elle magazine advice columnist, has become a prominent figure in American legal history following successful lawsuits against former U.S. President Donald Trump. In January 2024, she was awarded £83.3 million in damages in her second defamation case against Trump, adding to her previous £5 million award from May 2023.
The latest legal development saw Trump posting a £91.6 million bond in March 2024 as he appealed the January verdict. This followed a significant ruling in July 2023 when Judge Lewis Kaplan determined that Trump had "raped" Carroll as the term is commonly understood, though the jury had found him liable for sexual abuse rather than rape under New York's narrow legal definition.
Beyond her recent legal battles, Carroll is known for her groundbreaking career in journalism. Her "Ask E. Jean" column ran in Elle magazine from 1993 through 2019, becoming one of America's longest-running advice columns. She broke barriers as Playboy's first female contributing editor and wrote for prestigious publications including Outside, The Atlantic, and Vanity Fair.
Born in Detroit in 1943 and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Carroll's early achievements included being crowned Miss Indiana University in 1963 and winning the Miss Cheerleader USA title in 1964. She later wrote for Saturday Night Live, earning an Emmy nomination, and hosted her own television show on America's Talking, MSNBC's predecessor.
