Joan E
E Jean Carroll is a 79-year-old former journalist who, until she accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her, was best known as an advice columnist for Elle magazine for 26 years. The column was praised for its forthright writing including Carroll's view that women should never build their lives around men and the compassion of her replies to readers seeking advice. Elle terminated Carroll's contract in 2019. She said the magazine fired her because of her dispute with Trump. Born in Detroit and raised in Indiana, Carroll began writing for leading magazines of the era, including Rolling Stone and Playboy, after drawing attention with a 'witty literary quiz' about Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald for Esquire. Carroll left her husband and moved to New York where she established herself as 'feminism's answer to Hunter S Thompson'. By the mid-1980s she was writing for Saturday Night Live. A decade later she turned the advice column into a television talk show, Ask E Jean. Carroll was well known within New York's literary set. But she is now likely to be best remembered for her book, What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal, and for suing Trump. The book describes the alleged assault by the now former president and attacks by other men, including the former chief executive of CBS Les Moonves, who was forced out over allegations of sexual harassment.
