Trump Junior's girlfriend got booted from Fox

(Yes, Junior is not yet divorced, but he has been dating ex-Fox host Kimberly Guilfoyle for some time.)
For nearly two years — even once rumors eventually kicked up that she might join the Trump administration — Guilfoyle said that, as a single mother, she had to think of her son’s financial future and couldn’t afford to leave the high-paying gig [as a Fox News host], multiple sources told HuffPost.

[...]

Guilfoyle’s departure was initially billed as her decision. However, as HuffPost first reported last week, multiple sources said she did not leave the network voluntarily. They said Guilfoyle was informed her time at Fox News was up following a human resources investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior including sexual misconduct, and that her lawyers had been involved since the spring. Sources also said that despite being told she would have to leave by July, Guilfoyle repeatedly attempted to delay her exit and tried to have her allies appeal to Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News, to let her stay at the network.

[...]

Multiple sources told HuffPost that Guilfoyle’s exit from Fox News, where she had worked since 2006, came after her alleged inappropriate workplace behavior could no longer be tolerated by the network.

  HuffPo
A woman fired for sexual misconduct at Fox? What did she do? Turn down some man's advances?
Six sources said Guilfoyle’s 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.
Sounds like the perfect match for Junior.
Sources said HR warned Guilfoyle about her behavior several times, including a stern warning from Kevin Lord, the head of Fox News HR, in the fall of 2017.

[...]

According to two sources, the network told Guilfoyle she was being given time to find a new job that she could announce before leaving.
How appropriate that she got a job on a Trump SuperPAC.
Hours after HuffPost published its report that Guilfoyle’s departure was not voluntary, her attorneys from the law firm Clare Locke LLP sent a threatening legal notice to HuffPost and this reporter, claiming the story was false and defamatory and that failure to retract it would constitute evidence of “actual malice.”
Ah, the old Trump tactic: shut up or we'll sue you.
For many years, Guilfoyle was close to her Fox News colleague Eric Bolling, who was pushed out of the network after HuffPost reported that he sent unsolicited lewd photos to female colleagues. They shared a young female assistant [...]
What do you mean, "shared"?
[...] who, according to three sources, was deeply unhappy at work and was desperate to get out from under what she described to sources as Guilfoyle’s emotionally abusive behavior and attempts to involve her in her personal sexual matters by regularly sharing details about her sex life.
Could I be catty for a minute? There is no way this woman did not have facial reconstruction on her cheekbones, some lip injections, and perhaps some surgery on her eyes. Like so many plastic surgeries, this one did the victim no favors. The only way this is a good look is if she had been in a serious car wreck with extensive injuries to her face.



...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
