Kimberly Guilfoyle Fires Back At Sources Claiming She Left Fox For Inappropriate Workplace Behavior

   DailyWire.com

Former Fox News star Kimberly Guilfoyle is firing back at those who’ve claimed she was essentially pushed out of the network for inappropriate workplace behavior.

On Tuesday, Guilfoyle officially confirmed her decision to depart from the network to join boyfriend Donald Trump Jr. on the campaign trail. But Fox News and White House insiders are claiming Guilfoyle’s departure was more out of her hands than she’s led on. According to a report from the Huffington Post, sources claim Guilfoyle “engaged in emotionally abusive behavior and showed colleagues personal photos of male genitalia.”

The Daily Beast reports:

Six sources said Guilfoyle’s alleged 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.” HuffPost reports that Guilfoyle was subject to a human resources investigation that started last year, and was warned by Kevin Lord, head of Fox News HR, about her behavior in the fall of 2017. Guilfoyle was not formally terminated, but the sources told HuffPost that Fox prefers problematic employees resign to avoid controversy.

Team Guilfoyle is claiming the accusations are unfounded, and blasting those behind them as merely “disgruntled” employees or motivated by “self-interest.”

“Any accusations of Kimberly engaging in inappropriate work-place conduct are unequivocally baseless and have been viciously made by disgruntled and self-interested employees,” said John Singer, an attorney representing Guilfoyle, via a statement.

“During her lengthy and decorated tenure with the company, Kimberly was beloved, well-respected, and supportive of anyone she ever met,” the statement continued. “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.”

Guilfoyle is set to serve on the pro-Trump PAC America First as Vice Chairwoman.

“I will miss my Fox family. I thank Fox for the opportunities it has provided me. I thank all the talented producers, staff, and above all I thank the best fans out there,” she wrote in a tweet on Tuesday.
