According to The New Yorker, Fox News quietly paid around $4 million to a woman who had accused a former network host of sexual harassment.
Kimberly Guilfoyle is the former co-host of ‘The Five’, and is currently dating Donald Trump Jr. Guilfoyle also serves as President Trump’s campaign finance chair. She has also been accused of sexual harassment and other inappropriate actions.
According to The New Yorker, one of Guilfoyle’s female assistants at Fox News sent a 42 page confidential draft complaint to company executives in 2018, which accused Guilfoyle of repeated sexual harassment.
In order to avoid going to trial in an investigation of sexual harassment against its former star Kimberly Guilfoyle, Fox agreed to pay a Guilfoyle accuser upward of $4 million, @JaneMayerNYer reports. https://t.co/dbDcgEeAXE

The New Yorker article also reveals that Fox News paid an undisclosed sum to the woman, who no longer works for the news channel. The author of the article alleges that the payment was around $4 million, settling out of court.
Guilfoyle was reportedly forced out mid-contract at Fox News.
The New Yorker article corroborates past reporting that Guilfoyle did not leave the network voluntarily, and gives credence to sources which said that she was let go following an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct.
Six anonymous sources have come forward alleging that Guilfoyle would show personal lewd pictures of men, with whom she had sexual relations, to colleagues. They have also claimed that she regularly discussed sexual matters at work, and was emotionally abusive toward support staff.
Also mentioned in the report are allegations that the assistant was required to work at Guilfoyle’s New York apartment while Guilfoyle walked around naked, was forced to listen to her speak about her sex life constantly, was ordered to give the Fox News host thigh massages, and was told to ‘submit’ to a Fox employee’s sexual demands.
The New Yorker requested to interview Guilfoyle, but she declined. She told the news outlet that she has “never engaged in any workplace misconduct of any kind”.
Let’s get some names . All these left wing hit jobs lack names and proof. This sounds exactly like the Russian hotel story about Trump and golden showers. All proven to be FAKE NEWS.
Sounds like a bunch of associates are looking for enough money to not have to work for life. If all this stuff was going on out in the open so so many people knew about it why didn’t they sue Giuilfoyle, why is only one person getting money because she is the only one who sued knowing FOX would settle or did all the witnesses get money. Some of the stuff the accuser claims sounds like the the sexual stuff made up by democrats accusing people running against democrats of doing when the democrats are doing what they accuse others of doing.
They can have a hundred anonymous sources & that means nothing. I can say I have a million anonymous sources that say the New Yorker is operated by Satan himself! Would anyone believe me? I doubt anyone sane would & that’s the way to think of this rag of a mag!
The New Yorker is a LIBERAL RAG like many of those in the MORON MEDIA PRINT VERSION. They are just trying to make someone look bad. Those who say she did these things took the money so they got what they wanted but now want more. They are nothing more than WHINY GREEDY TWITS. The New Yorker is just trying to stir up HATE against the Trumps one of whom is the Boyfriend of Guilfoyle.
Who gives a damn? If I don’t like where I work or the people around I quit and work some where else. Instead of paying ‘hush money’ the best option is a swift kick in the a**.
These WHINERS got the money they wanted so SHUT UP.
The bigger scandal is who in congress paid off people, WITH TAXPAYER’S MONEY, that accused the congress people of sexual harassment?
A pure hit piece. Fox New IS complicit in the fact by paying the money are saying she was guilty whether she was or not. Fox News should be ashamed of themselves but just proves they are every bit a part of the main stream media. I pray for this girl the very best in her future.
