Kimberly Guilfoyle 2020
It was rumored in December 2016 that Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle was being considered as President Donald Trump’s press secretary. Sean Spicer was considered the front-runner for the job and was eventually chosen. She confirmed in May 2017 that she had contacted the White House for the role following Spicer’s resignation. On May 19, she stated that she was under contract with Fox, implying that she had turned down the job. The Trump campaign was paying Guilfoyle $15,000 per month through his own company, Parscale Strategy, as of early 2020.
She gave a speech in August 2020 that was widely viewed as unnecessarily loud or unhinged by several commentators. Her mother was from Puerto Rico and hence an American citizen, but she was chastised for referring to herself as a first-generation American.
Kimberly Guilfoyle TV Career
Guilfoyle relocated to New York in January 2004 to anchor the show Both Sides on Court TV and to work as a legal expert on Anderson Cooper 360°. In February 2006, she joined Fox News as the host of the weekend shows The Lineup. The Lineup was eventually dropped from the schedule. Guilfoyle continued as a regular contributor to the network, and in 2011, he was named co-host of The Five. She stayed on the show as a host until 2018. She started presenting and subsequently co-hosting Outnumbered in 2014, and she made a few more appearances up until June 2018.
Until the show’s discontinuation in 2017, Guilfoyle also appeared weekly on The O’Reilly Factor’s recurring feature “Is It Legal?” and as a weekly Thursday guest on Brian Kilmeade’s Kilmeade and Friends radio show. Hannity, On the Record, Justice with Judge Jeanine, and Fox and Friends all featured Guilfoyle as a guest host.
Guilfoyle signed a long-term contract agreement with Fox in mid-2017. Guilfoyle abruptly departed Fox News a year later, in July 2018, and went to work for a pro-Donald Trump super PAC. According to HuffPost, the network was in the middle of a year-long sexual harassment investigation into Guilfoyle at the time of her departure. Guilfoyle had been given an ultimatum by network officials: quit by the end of July or face termination. The New Yorker later confirmed claims that Guilfoyle was compelled to quit rather than leaving on his own volition.
Following Guilfoyle’s departure, Fox News and an assistant who had accused Guilfoyle of sexual harassment reached an out-of-court settlement. The settlement amount was not published, although The New Yorker reported that it was at least $4 million. Guilfoyle’s assistant said that Guilfoyle regularly exposed herself to the public, exhibited images of the genitalia of men with whom she had sex, and forced her to stay at Guilfoyle’s apartment. Several of the assistant’s claims were independently corroborated by The New Yorker.
