Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll has how claimed that simulated rapes in the
Game of Thrones television series were rCLsexyrCY 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 rCo a Law and Order fan rCo first made her allegations against Trump in
a 2019 book.
Seems like the right time to recall that E Jean Carroll, a self-described Law and Order fan who described rape as rCLsexyrCY and talked about
rCLfantasiesrCY
of that nature, happens to share the exact same story as a rape fantasy featured in an episode of Law and Order. Huh. pic.twitter.com/sCfxZyXF43

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 rCLmost people think of rape as sexyrCY. She had also previously
told BritainrCOs leftist Guardian newspaper that rape is rCLa fantasyrCY and rCLvery
sexualrCY and that this is why she previously refused to describe her alleged attack as rCLraperCY.
The live, televised interview was so strange that even Cooper, scarcely an example of traditional values, balked and cut to commercial:

rCLI 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,rCY Carroll said when queried on her comments to Cooper in court.
She asserted that HBOrCOs 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 rCLbecause [rape] excites people and draws an audience.rCY
rCLHence, I said I think most people think of rape as being sexy,rCY she added rCo
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 rCo which she concedes would have taken place in highly unusual circumstances rCo 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 rCLin the fall of 1995 or the spring of 1996rCY contains some rCLoddrCY 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 rCL99rC>per cent of the time, you will have an attendant in BergdorfrCOsrCY, as does her claim that rCLa dressing-room door was
open.rCY
rCLIn BergdorfrCOs dressing rooms, doors are usually locked until a client wants
to try something on,rCY 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 rCLan avid Law & Order franchise fanrCY rCo though not, she claimed,
of the Special Victims Unit series featuring the Bergdorf Goodman episode.
rCLIt tickled me to death,rCY Carroll said to CNN of the rCLcoincidencerCY.
rCLItrCOs a great, huge coincidence, but it is a magnificent one,rCY she added.
Mistrial Denied.
The trial has become somewhat fractious, with TrumprCOs lawyers accusing Bill Clinton-appointed Judge Lewis Kaplan of making rCLpervasive unfair and prejudicial rulingsrCY against the former president and making a request for a mistrial rCo which he has refused.
Among other things, Kaplan has ruled that TrumprCOs team cannot bring up the fact that CarrollrCOs 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 rCLcontributed more than $600,000 to the legal defense fund ofrCa Fusion GPS, the company responsible for the creation of the Steele Dossier,rCY according to TrumprCOs legal team.
Kaplan dismissed arguments that HoffmanrCOs involvement raises questions about rCLthe plaintiffrCOs bias and motiverCY and insisted that any discussion of the
obese billionaire would be rCLprejudicialrCY.
Kaplan also admonished TrumprCOs 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 rCLnot to comment on the caserCY.
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.
TrumprCOs team also sparred with Judge Kaplan and CarrollrCOs 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 rCLhideous menrCY and others, including rCLa bloodthirsty, beautiful, relentless boyrCY aged seven or eight when she was also a child, a babysitterrCOs 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.
