“We all have a lot at stake here. This lawsuit is not just for me; it almost has nothing to do with me,” she explains in one scene to the director, Ivy Meeropol. “It’s for, really, women across the country.” In court, #EJeanCarroll faced lawyers for a former (now reelected) president, making the case, as she puts it, that #Trump was protected by “his scope of employment as president when he called me too hideous to #rape.”

Trump’s lack of impulse control & trigger-happy litigiousness have often collapsed in court, but they’ve had a profound impact on the #entertainment industry. Both #ABC & #CBS have #settled lawsuits served by #Trump rather than fight, seemingly deducing that the cost & capitulation are worth it if they smooth the way for mergers & keep the mercurial & #media-fixated president off their backs.
