The Secret History of Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Departure from Fox News
For many of us, the last time we saw former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, she was screaming a speech at the RNC to an empty room.
It was annoying and creepy, to say the least.
But Guilfoyle is being used by the Trump campaign to try and reach the elusive women voters that have left Trump in droves.
Now, The New Yorker is out with a story that basically shows that Guilfoyle might not be the one you want leading that charge.
In the New Yorker’s story, they write, in November, 2018, a young woman who had been one of Guilfoyle’s assistants at Fox News sent company executives a confidential, forty-two-page draft complaint that accused Guilfoyle of repeated sexual harassment, and demanded monetary relief. The document, which resulted in a multimillion-dollar out-of-court settlement, raises serious questions about Guilfoyle’s fitness as a character witness for Trump, let alone as a top campaign official.
The story goes onto say, Guilfoyle has maintained that her decision to move from television news to a political campaign was entirely voluntary. In fact, Fox News forced her out in July, 2018—several years before her contract’s expiration date. At the time, she was a co-host of the political chat show “The Five.” Media reports suggested that she had been accused of workplace impropriety, including displaying lewd pictures of male genitalia to colleagues, but few additional details of misbehavior emerged. Guilfoyle publicly denied any wrongdoing, and last year a lawyer representing her told The New Yorker that “any suggestion” she had “engaged in misconduct at Fox is patently false.” Shortly after Guilfoyle left her job, Fox secretly paid an undisclosed sum to the assistant, who no longer works at the company. Recently, two well-informed sources told me that Fox, in order to avoid going to trial, had agreed to pay the woman upward of four million dollars.
The story claims that Guilfoyle tried to bribe the assistant to stay quiet when talking to lawyers.
You can read the full story here and it is very interesting to say the least.
As a bonus, the story mentions Sinclair’s chief propagandist Eric Bolling as well.
