(The jury found #Trump liable for the #SexualAbuse & #defamation of #EJeanCarroll & ordered him to pay $5 million in compensation; Trump’s appeal is awaiting review by #SCOTUS.)

But very few people have seen #AskEJean or even heard of it. #Streaming platforms & #distributors have steered clear of a movie that plainly impugns Trump, regardless of its obvious relevance & engaging portrait of Carroll, whose decision to come forward was resolute in spite of everything she’d face as a result.

(“A big fat #bribe” is how the late-night host Stephen Colbert characterized CBS’s $16 million #settlement to #Trump, shortly before his own #CBS show was canceled; CBS called the cancellation “purely a financial decision.”) And so you can’t see #AskEJean, but you have no end of options this weekend when it comes to watching a “documentary” about the current first lady, Melania: Twenty Days to History

In 2019, #EJeanCarroll alleged that #Trump had sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s; #Trump promptly denied the allegation while deriding Carroll at rallies & in TV interviews as “totally lying” & “not my type.” #AskEJean follows Carroll as she prepares for the trial, revealing why she buried what had happened for so long; it captures, too, her profound discomfort while she’s badgered during depositions by Trump’s legal team, & her eventual victory.

Recently, Gilbert watched a new documentary about an enigmatic woman of notable charm & courage preparing for one of the most momentous events in her life. That woman is #EJeanCarroll, & the movie is #AskEJean, a feature about Carroll’s life & her decision to sue #Trump in civil court for #defamation & #SexualBattery.
