Kimberly Guilfoyle has maintained that her decision to leave Fox News, in 2018, was entirely voluntary. In a new investigation, Jane Mayer confirms that the network forced her out after a former assistant alleged sexual harassment against the host. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-secret-history-of-kimberly-guilfoyles-departure-from-fox
Until now, the specific allegations against Guilfoyle have remained largely hidden. The draft complaint, which was never filed in court, is covered by a nondisclosure agreement.
The former assistant has not been publicly identified, and, out of respect for the rights of victims of sexual harassment, The New Yorker is honoring her confidentiality.
According to a dozen well-informed sources familiar with her complaints, the assistant alleged that Guilfoyle, her direct supervisor, subjected her frequently to degrading, abusive, and sexually inappropriate behavior.
Among other things, she said that she was frequently required to work at Guilfoyle’s apartment while the Fox host displayed herself naked, and was shown photographs of the genitalia of men with whom Guilfoyle had had sexual relations.
One current and one former Fox employee confirmed the assistant’s allegation that Guilfoyle had regularly shared lewd images, noting that she had shown photographs of male genitalia to them, too.
Other times, Guilfoyle encouraged her to sleep with wealthy and powerful men, asked her to critique her naked body, required her to sleep over at her apartment, and exposed herself to her.
Equally disturbing is what the assistant described as a coverup attempt by Guilfoyle. According to two well-informed sources, in order to avoid going to trial, Fox agreed to pay the assistant upward of $4 million.
