In the piece, which recounts six times that Carroll, 75, says she was sexually assaulted throughout her life, Carroll recalls meeting Trump at the department store in the mid-1990s. After recognizing her from her TV appearances as an advice columnist, Carroll writes, the future president asked her to help him pick out a present for “a girl.
“The moment the dressing-room door is closed, he lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly, and puts his mouth against my lips. I am so shocked I shove him back and start laughing again. He seizes both my arms and pushes me up against the wall a second time, and, as I become aware of how large he is, he holds me against the wall with his shoulder and jams his hand under my coat dress and pulls down my tights.
Trump then allegedly “for[ced] his fingers around my private area” and inserted his penis inside her. Carroll writes that she initially tried to fight him off by stomping on his foot, but then wrested him off her and ran out the door. She told two close friends about the encounter, both of whom corroborated hearing about the story at the time to agazine.
