The Gist - Not Her Type: E. Jean Carroll vs. The President

E. Jean Carroll joins to talk about the lawsuit she won, the president she sued, and the dressing room encounter that changed everything. The author of Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President opens up about the attack by Donald Trump, how she fought to be heard, and what it took—mentally and emotionally to face him in court. They talk trial prep, media backlash, mock juries, and what it means to be believed. Also, what happens when the guy in the courtroom points at your photo and says it’s his ex-wife? Carroll shares how she got her name back—and why she's not stopping there. Produced by Corey Wara
