E. Jean Carroll’s Wild Boasts About Using $84 Million Judgment to Benefit Women’s Rights
In a recent appearance on MSNBC, E. Jean Carroll, who was awarded nearly $84 million in a defamation trial against former President Donald Trump, unleashed a series of extravagant plans to benefit “women’s rights.” With her attorney looking increasingly uncomfortable, Carroll jokingly suggested lavish gifts and expenditures, including new wardrobes, shoes, and even a penthouse for host Rachel Maddow.

Maddow initiated the conversation by reminding Carroll of her previous promise to use “Trump’s money” for the benefit of women’s rights. She then asked Carroll if she had any concrete plans and what those plans might entail.
“Yes, Rachel!” Carroll responded with excitement. “I have incredible ideas for all the good I’m going to do with this money.”

“First thing, Rachel, you and I are going to go shopping,” Carroll continued, exaggerating her tone and eliciting laughter from her attorneys and Maddow. “We’re going to get completely new wardrobes, new shoes, a motorcycle for Attorney Shawn Crowley, and a new fishing rod for Attorney Roberta Kaplan. Rachel, what do you want? A penthouse? It’s yours!”
Maddow couldn’t contain her laughter, and Carroll kept the banter going: “Penthouse… in France? You want to go fishing in France? No? Oh, all right.”
Maddow shook her head, still chuckling, and one of Carroll’s attorneys quickly clarified, “That’s a joke.”
“Although, if me fishing in France could contribute to women’s rights, I would take the hit,” Maddow replied. “I’d take one for the team.”
Is using such a substantial judgment for personal luxuries and gifts a missed opportunity to invest in organizations and initiatives aimed at advancing women’s rights?

Carroll’s remarks have sparked controversy and debate, raising questions about the appropriate use of such a substantial judgment and the true intentions behind her claims of championing women’s rights. While Carroll’s victory in the defamation case was undoubtedly a significant moment, her extravagant plans for the funds may overshadow the underlying cause and divert attention from the serious issue at hand.
It is important to note that $84 million is a substantial amount of money, and the potential impact that could be made by utilizing these funds effectively could be immense. However, Carroll’s suggestions of using the funds for personal luxuries and gifts brings into question her true dedication to the cause she claims to champion.
Women’s rights is an important and ongoing issue that requires continued and dedicated efforts to bring about meaningful change. To use such a substantial judgment for personal gain rather than investing it in organizations and initiatives aimed at advancing women’s rights is a missed opportunity and may perpetuate the notion that women’s issues are merely a platform for personal advancement.
Furthermore, Carroll’s joking and casual demeanor during the interview raises concerns about the seriousness with which she approaches the issue of women’s rights. While humor has its place in addressing social and political issues, it is important to strike a balance that allows for the gravity and urgency of the matter to be properly conveyed.
The focus should remain on the larger issue at hand – advocating for gender equality, ending gender-based violence, and promoting equal opportunities for women in all areas of life. By diverting attention with extravagant plans and personal luxuries, Carroll risks diluting the message and undermining the legitimacy of her claims.
Instead, Carroll could use her substantial judgment to fund organizations that are actively working towards addressing the persistent challenges women face, such as access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. By supporting these initiatives, Carroll would be able to make a tangible and lasting impact on the lives of countless women, rather than indulging in personal extravagance.
In conclusion, while E. Jean Carroll’s recent remarks about using her $84 million judgment to benefit women’s rights may have garnered attention, they raise valid concerns about the appropriate use of such a substantial amount of money. It is crucial that the focus remains on the underlying cause and the urgent need to address gender inequality and women’s rights. Rather than indulging in personal luxuries, Carroll has the opportunity to make a significant and lasting impact by directing her funds towards organizations and initiatives dedicated to advancing women’s rights. It is vital that activists and advocates remain focused on the critical work that needs to be done to achieve gender equality, and not allow distractions to derail progress.
