E Jean Carroll, the writer and former advice columnist, was awarded a whopping $83.3 million by a New York City jury in her defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump.

The jury decided that the former president should pay $18.3 million in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages for harming her reputation and causing her emotional distress over the malicious and false made by him in 2019.

In an excerpt from her book, What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal, Carroll had accused Trump of raping her in a dressing-room of high-end department store in Manhattan in the mid 1990s. Her book was published by New York Magazine in June 2019.

The allegations were denied by Trump, who called her a liar, a political operative, and a nobody. He also said that she is not his type and claimed to have never met her, despite a photo of them together at a party in 1987.
