E. Jean Carroll Releases Memoir Not My Type as Trump Appeals $83.3M Judgment

Using trial transcripts plus voice notes Carroll recounts her assault allegations in Not My Type, revealing plans to fund causes Trump opposes with her damages.

Overview

  • Not My Type, published June 17, blends Carroll’s courtroom voice recordings and legal transcripts to offer a first-person account of her 1996 assault allegations against President Trump.
  • A federal appeals court recently upheld the $5 million defamation verdict and Trump remains in the midst of an appeal against the separate $83.3 million judgment on grounds of presidential immunity.
  • Carroll has amassed $88 million in total damages from two suits—$5 million in the first and $83.3 million in the second—and is forming the E. Jean Carroll Foundation to manage the funds.
  • She plans to direct her settlement toward reproductive rights, voting access and other initiatives she says President Trump opposes in order to “make him so angry.”
  • The memoir emphasizes both serious and comedic courtroom moments—such as jury consultations on Carroll’s hair styling—and challenges stereotypes about how survivors of sexual assault respond under pressure.
