HuffPo: Guilfoyle was Ousted from Fox News for Inappropriate Conduct
/
The Huffington Post was one of the first to report that Fox News Host Kimberly Guilfoyle was gone from the network.
Guilfoyle claimed that she left on her own, HuffPo implied that was not the case. Guilfoyle even hired an attorney to go after HuffPo.
Now, HuffPo is doubling and tripling down with a new story that says Guilfoyle, who is dating Donald Trump Jr. was let go due to misconduct allegations.
Sources tell HuffPost that Guilfoyle, is engaged in emotionally abusive behavior and showed colleagues personal photos of male genitalia.
HuffPo writes that sources said 21st Century Fox prefers that problematic employees retire or resign rather than be terminated ― the company has taken this approach with Fox News talent and executives in the past, as well as with Guilfoyle, who was not formally terminated. This method gives talent and executives a quieter way to exit and the network avoids a contentious departure. According to two sources, the network told Guilfoyle she was being given time to find a new job that she could announce before leaving.
In response to an email with a list of 19 detailed questions from the Huffington Post to Guilfoyle’s attorney John Singer wrote the following statement:
“Any accusations of Kimberly engaging in inappropriate work-place conduct are unequivocally baseless and have been viciously made by disgruntled and self-interested employees. During her lengthy and decorated tenure with the company, Kimberly was beloved, well-respected, and supportive of anyone she ever met. It’s utterly preposterous that there are those who are nefariously and greedily twisting innocent conversations amongst close friends into much more than what it actually was for financial gain. Kimberly has happily moved onto the next chapter of her life and hopes others will do the same.”
Six sources said Guilfoyle’s behavior included showing personal photographs of male genitalia to colleagues (and identifying whose genitals they were), regularly discussing sexual matters at work and engaging in emotionally abusive behavior toward hair and makeup artists and support staff.
