Ex-Fox host claims Guilfoyle flaunted explicit photo pairings and bragged about sex at the network

Former Fox colleague Lisa Kennedy says Kimberly Guilfoyle showed friends explicit photo pairings and talked about sex “cavalierly” at work, claims Guilfoyle flatly denies.

A former Fox News host now says Kimberly Guilfoyle once pulled out pictures of a man’s black American Express card, front and back, and matched them with photos of the card holder’s private parts in front of colleagues.

Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery made the claim in a Daily Mail account that landed as Guilfoyle stepped down from her post as U.S. ambassador to Greece. The exit followed a separate report that she had pressed a Trump donor for money to cover a personal credit card bill. Guilfoyle calls the accusations false and says she will defend her name.

The Post detailed Kennedy’s account of their time together at the network, where the two women first bonded and later drifted apart over what Kennedy described as increasingly blunt sexual talk and image-sharing.

Kennedy wrote that Guilfoyle showed her and several friends the card photos paired with the corresponding private-part images. She said there were at least three of those sets.

"Kimberly showed me and several of our friends pictures of his Amex black card, front and back,"

Kennedy said in the Daily Mail piece. She added:

"The images were matched with a corresponding picture of the card holder’s private parts."

She put the number of pairings at three or more.

"There were at least three sets of these credit card-penis pairings."

Kennedy says the talk went far past office gossip

Kennedy did not stop at the photos. She said Guilfoyle spoke about sex with a freedom that left little to the imagination and made some of the people around her less comfortable over time.

"In fact, Kimberly talked about sex so cavalierly that she made Samantha from Sex and the City seem like Greta Thunberg,"

Kennedy wrote.

In her telling, Guilfoyle referred to one man as “Lex Luthor” and a “lovesick cash cow.” Kennedy also said Guilfoyle’s alleged escapades earned her the nicknames “Seabiscuit” and “USO” inside the network. The man’s full identity was not given in the account.

Kennedy described an early rapport built in part on shared disdain for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Guilfoyle’s ex-husband. That warmth, she said, cooled as the sexual talk and photo displays continued.

Guilfoyle left Fox News in 2018 to work for the 2020 Trump campaign, reportedly amid a sexual harassment probe. The disposition of that probe was not spelled out in the latest reporting.

Earlier New Yorker account raised similar workplace claims

Kennedy’s Daily Mail piece is not the first time these themes have surfaced. In 2020, The New Yorker reported that Guilfoyle engaged in “graphic sexual talk” and “often shared lewd images,” including “photographs of male genitalia,” while she was at Fox News.

Guilfoyle rejected that portrayal at the time. She told The New Yorker she had never engaged in workplace misconduct of any kind.

That denial line has held. After the newer donor allegation and her resignation, she again cast the claims as false and said she would fight for her reputation. Readers following her tenure also saw separate scrutiny of her public presentation abroad, including criticism over a denim dress at an Athens diplomatic reception.

Resignation followed a reported $100,000 ask

The workplace stories landed in the same news cycle as her exit from the Greece ambassadorship. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Guilfoyle asked former GOP congressional candidate and Trump donor Eric Deters for $100,000 to pay off her American Express card ahead of her confirmation hearing.

Guilfoyle resigned earlier this week in the wake of that allegation. Coverage of the break with the post has tracked how Trump asked Guilfoyle to resign after pay-to-play reports tied to the same period of scrutiny.

In her farewell statement, she did not parse each claim point by point. She rejected the allegations as a group and framed the fight as one over her record and integrity.

"These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity,"

she said. She continued:

"I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional."

And she closed the thought this way:

"I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service."

Guilfoyle and a lawyer did not immediately respond when The Post sought comment on Kennedy’s latest account.

Related reporting has also examined whether the White House would go further than a resignation request, including earlier questions about whether Trump weighed firing Guilfoyle over pay-to-play and embassy misconduct claims.

Two tracks of allegations, one firm denial

Put side by side, the record now runs on two tracks. One is the old Fox News workplace picture painted by Kennedy and, earlier, by The New Yorker, graphic talk, lewd images, and in Kennedy’s telling, those Amex-and-private-parts pairings shown to friends on the job. The other is the donor-and-credit-card allegation tied to her confirmation path and her sudden exit from Athens.

Guilfoyle’s answer on both tracks has been the same: the allegations are false, she has not engaged in workplace misconduct, and she will defend her name. Kennedy presents herself as a former friend who grew uneasy. The New Yorker summarized a pattern of talk and images years ago. The Journal’s account of the $100,000 request sits in the recent official fallout.

What remains unsettled is independent public proof beyond those accounts. The man called “Lex Luthor” is not named. The “several friends” Kennedy said also saw the photos are not identified in the piece. Absolute dates for the photo incidents are not given. The 2018 Fox probe’s findings are not laid out. Deters’ own detailed response is not included in the summary that drove the resignation coverage.

Public office and network newsrooms both run on trust. When former colleagues describe explicit photo-sharing on the job, and when a donor ask for personal card debt surfaces beside a confirmation fight, voters and viewers get to weigh the claims against the denials, and to expect officials to keep their private bills and private lives from becoming public liabilities.
