Elizabeth Jean Carroll (born December 12, 1943) is an American journalist and columnist. She is known for her "Ask E. Jean" column which appeared in Elle magazine from 1993 through 2019.[1]

In June 2019, Carroll accused Les Moonves and Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s. Both Moonves and Trump denied the allegations.[2][3][4] Carroll later sued Trump for defamation and battery. On May 9, 2023, she was given $5 million by a jury, which found Trump guilty for defamation and sexual abuse against her.[5]
