E. Jean Carroll will tell the story of her lawsuit against President Donald Trump in a new book.
St. Martin’s will publish the journalist’s Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President next week, the press announced in a news release. It calls the book “a hilarious, hopeful, revelatory behind the scenes account of the trials that riveted the nation.”
Carroll, known for her long-running “Ask E. Jean” advice column in Elle magazine, accused Trump of sexually assaulting her at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in mid-’90s. He denied the charges, which led Carroll to sue him for defamation in 2019. Three years later, she sued him again, for battery. Trump was found liable in both cases and ordered to pay Carroll $88.3 million dollars in damages. Carroll was fired by Elle the year after she filed her defamation suit against Trump.
In her new book, St. Martin’s says, readers will “hear Alina Habba, Esq., ‘Trump’s most beautiful attorney,’ asking E. Jean to ‘list’ the people she has ‘slept with’—a list which turns out to be so marvelous, it is worth twice the price of this book.”
“It’s all here: two dazzling trials, the full-tilt high stakes, the laugh-out-loud commentary, and the inspiring fact that a woman is never too old to get even,” the press says.
Not My Type is scheduled for publication next Tuesday.
