E. Jean Carroll unleashed a string of wild boasts, predicting all the things she might do to benefit “women’s rights” with the nearly $84 million judgment that she was awarded in the defamation trial against former President Donald Trump.
Carroll laughed through her recent MSNBC appearance on Monday as she suggested new wardrobes, new shoes, and even a penthouse for host Rachel Maddow — among a number of other lavish gifts and expenditures — all while her attorney, looking increasingly uncomfortable waved her off: “That’s a joke.”

Maddow kicked off the exchange by recalling a previous statement from Carroll, in which she had promised to do something with “Trump’s money” to benefit women’s rights — and then she asked Carroll if she had any firm plans with that regard and to describe what that might look like.
“Yes, Rachel!” Carroll replied, clearly excited. “I have such — I have such great ideas for all the good I’m going to do with this money.”

“First thing, Rachel, you and I are going to go shopping,” she continued in exaggerated tones, getting laughs from her attorneys and Maddow. “We’re going to get completely new wardrobes, new shoes, motorcycle for [Attorney Shawn] Crowley, new fishing rod for [Attorney Roberta Kaplan] — Rachel, what do you want? Penthouse? It’s yours!”
Maddow continued to laugh, and Carroll kept going: “Penthouse … France? You want France? You want to go fishing in France? No? Oh, all right.”
Maddow shook her head, still laughing, and one of Carroll’s attorneys jumped in quickly to clarify: “That’s a joke.”
“Although, if me fishing in France could do something for women’s rights, I would take the hit,” Maddow replied. “I’d take one for the team.”
