A hair tight, arms in the air, Kimberly Guilfoyle sings the praises of her stepfather, Donald Trump, in the race to run for a second term at the head of the country. Desperate for her victory, the former flagship presenter of Fox did not hesitate for a single second to get behind the Republican candidate she now advises. The only downside, some accusations could well tarnish the reputation of Donald Trump's new ally.
Charges of sexual harassment
Kimberly Guilfoyle is indeed accused of sexual harassment by her former assistant, revealed the New Yorker, Thursday, October 1. The former Fox News anchor abruptly quit her post in July 2018. At the time, she had not commented on her departure, which came years before her contract expired. According to the New Yorker, her former assistant - who wished to remain anonymous - accuses the host of showing her pictures of the genitals of men with whom she allegedly had sex. She also affirms that her superior constantly evoked her sex life in her presence. She would have even, one day, asked him to massage her thigh.
She is also said to have advised him on several occasions to give in to the sexual advances of one of their colleagues at Fox News, and to share the bed of rich and powerful men. Finally, she would have requested the opinion of her assistant on the qualities and faults of her naked body, would have suggested that she sleep in her apartment and offered to rent the same room for business trips, which would have meant the main interested party uncomfortable. Kimberly Guifoyle denied the allegations in a statement sent to the magazine, saying that in her 30-year career, she had never "misbehaved" in her workplace.
"This time it's the right one"
It all started well though. "A winning team!" It was in July 2018 that Kimberly Guilfoyle confirmed on Instagram her relationship with Donald Trump Jr. On February 13, 2019, Kimberly Guilfoyle reappeared on the arm of the American president's son during the Zang Toi fashion show, during New York Fashion Week . The lovers have since become engaged, according to Hollywood Life and a diamond ring.
One thing is certain: Kimberly Guilfoyle is convinced that her relationship will last. "I think this time is the right one", she declared in July 2018, at the microphone of the show "Breitbart News Daily", convinced to have found a soul mate. After being married for four years to former San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, the 51-year-old American has set her sights on the eldest Donald Jr., with whom she has been friends for more than ten years.
But it was not until the divorce of the prodigal son, married for twelve years to Vanessa Haydon with whom he had five children (and let pass the rumor of an affair with the sulphurous Aubrey O'Day), before the presenter could get his hands on the leader of the Trump Organization. Asked by journalist Alex Marlow, she said of him that he is "the number 1 right-wing political figure to watch", adding in passing that he is "incredibly brilliant". Since then, the couple has posted their happiness on social networks, between selfies in front of the Louvre and hikes in Montana. The host, meanwhile, is continuing her seduction operation with the White House. Or how the supermodel became an icon of the small screen - and favorite of Donald Trump, senior.
Podiums and courts
Born March 9, 1969 in San Francisco, Kimberly Guilfoyle grew up with her brother, her Irish father and her Puerto Rican mother. Her mother died of leukemia when Kimberly was only 11 years old. After completing her education at Mercy High School, the student graduated - with honors - from UC Davis University. She obtained her law degree from the University of San Francisco in 1994, then interned in the prosecutor's office. She shines on the benches of the university as on the catwalks, where she plays the models Victoria's Secret. She also poses for the Macy’s chain of stores and in a wedding magazine, recalls Business Insider.
"First Lady" of San Francisco
After graduation, Kimberly Guilfoyle served four years as an assistant district attorney in Los Angeles. There, she deals with cases of drugs, domestic violence or sexual assault. Back in her hometown, in 2001 she married Gavin Newsom, a Democratic councilor who would soon be elected mayor of San Francisco.
At 35, the new “local First Lady” is a turning point in her career. She moved to New York and made her debut in the "Both Sides" program, on Court TV, but also on CNN. But its advent on the small screen comes with a heavy price to pay. Struggling with the difficulties of a long-distance relationship, focused on her career, she divorced in 2005 from Gavin Newsom, now governor of California.
The star of "Fox News"
In 2006, the presenter also experienced a meteoric rise. Hired by Fox News in February, she hosts "The Lineup", a 24-hour news program broadcast on weekends. That same year, she married Eric Villency, CEO of a design company and former model, in Barbados. The couple give birth to a son, Ronan Antony. Before separating, three years later.
In 2011, she took on the costume of co-presenter of "The Five" on Fox. This does not prevent him from affording a few appearances in other programs, such as "The O’Reilly Factor", "Hannity" or "Fox and friends". Become one of the flagship presenters of the channel, Kimberly makes sure to remain one of the pillars.
When Gretchen Carlson, former Fox News anchor and chair of the Miss America board, accuses channel boss Roger Ailes of sexual harassment, Kimberly Guilfoyle steps up… to defend her boss.
In 2015, the host published the book Defending Your Cause: How to Be the Best Lawyer for Yourself, published by Harper. Two years later, the book caught the attention of a certain President of the United States, who recommended it via Twitter: “Read @kimguilfoyle's book #Makingthecase. A brilliant tip! (sic), ”Donald Trump wrote on his Twitter account on January 29, 2017.
Thanks for buying my book President Trump! #MakingtheCase https://t.co/d9pC229Es5

Conquering the White House
Kimberly Guilfoyle's biting personality hits the mark. So much so that in December 2016, Donald Trump plans to give the host the post of communications advisor. He will finally opt for Sean Spicer. Still close to the White House, Kimberly Guilfoyle would still have had an affair with the successor of Sean Spicer, in December 2017.
While the former host was never able to take up the torch, she still did not end her ambitions. In May 2018, she appeared in public for the first time alongside Donald Trump Jr., during an evening in honor of Richard Grenell, the new United States ambassador to Germany. A month later, the couple posted pictures of their vacation in Montana, not forgetting to appear in the stands at a concert. Dismissed from Fox News on July 20, 2018, for reasons we now know, she confirmed having embarked on the Republicans campaign alongside her companion. And Kimberly Guilfoyle to publish on her Instagram account on July 5, 2018, the photo of her “incredible afternoon at the White House”. A seduction operation which could be compromised by the accusations of harassment formulated against him.
