What is Kimberly Guilfoyle's net worth? Trump Jr's girlfriend embroiled in scandalous $4M payout to ex-assistant
Fox News allegedly paid the former assistant of ex-host Kimberly Guilfoyle $4M to avoid going to trial after the employee wrote a 2018 draft complaint detailing allegations of sexual harassment against her, The New Yorker reported on October 1, citing two well-informed sources.
Guilfoyle, who is currently serving as the Trump campaign's finance chair, abruptly left her position as co-host of Fox News' show 'The Five' in July 2018. At the time, a spokesperson for the network did not provide much information or any detailed reason for her exit but released only a short statement saying, "Fox News has parted ways with Kimberly Guilfoyle."
In 2018, HuffPost reported that Guilfoyle's departure came after an investigation into her inappropriate behavior, including allegations of sexual misconduct. Her attorney John Singer told the publication at the time that the allegations are "unequivocally baseless and have been viciously made by disgruntled and self-interested employees".
Further, The New Yorker claimed that the allegations were from Guilfoyle's former assistant. The New Yorker said it was aware of the former assistant's identity, but given that she had not been publicly identified and out of respect for potential victims of sexual harassment, it declined to name her in its story. According to the magazine, Guilfoyle often required her former assistant to work at her apartment where she was allegedly naked at times. The New Yorker also alleged that Guilfoyle showed her former assistant lewd images of men, with some of whom she had sexual relations with.
Later in a statement to The New Yorker, Guilfoyle said, "In my 30-year career working for the SF District Attorney's Office, the LA District Attorney's Office, in media and in politics, I have never engaged in any workplace misconduct of any kind. During my career, I have served as a mentor to countless women, with many of whom I remain exceptionally close to this day."
