Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll has how claimed that simulated rapes in the
Game of Thrones television series were “sexy” and used to excite viewers and
draw an audience, in a bid to contextualize comments made to CNN host
Anderson Cooper.

In doing so, some contend Carroll herself comes across as a rape fantasist.
The notion is perhaps underscored by the fact that her story about Donald
Trump raping her appears in a 2012 episode of Law and Order, featuring rape
fantasists and the very same Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing
rooms she claims the former President used in an attack on her.

Carroll – a Law and Order fan – first made her allegations against Trump in
a 2019 book.

The former Elle advice columnist, 79, made her most remarks in reference to
an interview she gave to Anderson Cooper on CNN, in which she bizarrely
suggested that “most people think of rape as sexy”. She had also previously
told Britain’s leftist Guardian newspaper that rape is “a fantasy” and “very
sexual” and that this is why she previously refused to describe her alleged
attack as “rape”.

The live, televised interview was so strange that even Cooper, scarcely an
example of traditional values, balked and cut to commercial:

“I think most people think of rape as being sexy because in our culture we
are saturated with entertainment shows which continually show rapes to
gather an audience,” Carroll said when queried on her comments to Cooper in
court.

She asserted that HBO’s Game of Thrones, based on a series of fantasy novels
by George R. R. Martin, featured nine rapes and more than 50 attempted
rapes. It is unclear how she arrived at these figures, though she claims the
attacks featured “because [rape] excites people and draws an audience.”

“Hence, I said I think most people think of rape as being sexy,” she added —
though she insisted this is not her personal view.

Law and Order.
Games of Thrones is not the only television show to feature in the lawsuit.
Carroll has also been pressed on the fact that her alleged rape at the
Bergdorf Goodman luxury department store in New York City — which she
concedes would have taken place in highly unusual circumstances — bears
similarities to a situation described in crime series Law & Order.

In an excerpt from her 2019 book What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal
the writer admitted that her account of Trump attacking her in a Bergdorf
Goodman dressing room “in the fall of 1995 or the spring of 1996” contains
some “odd” details.

For example, she conceded that her description of an entire floor of the
famous department store as totally deserted of both customers and staff
conflicts with the fact that “99 per cent of the time, you will have an
attendant in Bergdorf’s”, as does her claim that “a dressing-room door was
open.”

“In Bergdorf’s dressing rooms, doors are usually locked until a client wants
to try something on,” she accepted.

Curiously, Law & Order had characters discuss a role-played rape in a
Bergdorf Goodman dressing room not too dissimilar to the one Carroll
described in an episode that aired years prior to her public allegations
against the former president.

The resemblance has been pointed out before, with CNN reporting in 2019 that
Carroll was “an avid Law & Order franchise fan” — though not, she claimed,
of the Special Victims Unit series featuring the Bergdorf Goodman episode.

“It tickled me to death,” Carroll said to CNN of the “coincidence”.

“It’s a great, huge coincidence, but it is a magnificent one,” she added.

Mistrial Denied.
The trial has become somewhat fractious, with Trump’s lawyers accusing Bill
Clinton-appointed Judge Lewis Kaplan of making “pervasive unfair and
prejudicial rulings” against the former president and making a request for a
mistrial — which he has refused.

Among other things, Kaplan has ruled that Trump’s team cannot bring up the
fact that Carroll’s litigation has been funded by Democrat billionaire Reid
Hoffman.

Despite having initially claimed the litigation was not receiving outside
funding, she recently and apparently quite suddenly recalled that, in fact,
it has had the financial backing of Reid Hoffman, a billionaire Democrat who
previously “contributed more than $600,000 to the legal defense fund of…
Fusion GPS, the company responsible for the creation of the Steele Dossier,”
according to Trump’s legal team.

Kaplan dismissed arguments that Hoffman’s involvement raises questions about
“the plaintiff’s bias and motive” and insisted that any discussion of the
obese billionaire would be “prejudicial”.

Kaplan also admonished Trump’s team over a Truth Social post by the former
president referencing the case, indicating that he was required to be silent
on it and appearing to suggest he could be pulled up for contempt of court.

Trump lawyer Joseph Tacopina promised he would ask his client “not to
comment on the case”.

Carroll has told the court she is a registered Democrat, donated $1,000 to
Barack Obama, and voted for him, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden.

A History of Claims.
Trump’s team also sparred with Judge Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyers over how
much of her long history of sexual assault allegations can be raised before
the jury.

Carroll has alleged she has been subject to sexual assaults and rapes or
attempted rapes by a long list of “hideous men” and others, including “a
bloodthirsty, beautiful, relentless boy” aged seven or eight when she was
also a child, a babysitter’s boyfriend, a camp counsellor, a dentist, an
unnamed pocket knife-wielding youth she went on a date with in college, an
unnamed former boss, CBS chief executive Les Moonves, and finally, Donald
Trump.

This is going nowhere. Trump lost.
