Kimberly Guilfoyle has faced allegations that she engaged in sexual misconduct when she worked as a host at Fox News, leaving the network to pay out a multimillion-dollar settlement to avoid trial.

Summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump’s pick for ambassador to Greece, faces scrutiny over sexual misconduct allegations from her time at Fox News, including claims of abusive behavior toward a female assistant that led to a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Guilfoyle denies the allegations, but her nomination reflects Trump’s pattern of appointing loyalists with controversial histories, including those accused of sexual misconduct.

Critics question her qualifications and the timing of the announcement, coinciding with rumors of a breakup with Donald Trump Jr.

The Senate’s response remains uncertain, highlighting broader societal divides over addressing sexual harassment in public office.

    Some of that is due to patriarchal values (women can’t harm men) which lowers reporting and those receiving reports not taking them seriously.

    Some of it is due to disparity between it being committed by women for the first reason.

    There are crimes that are wildly disparate by gender. Baby napping for instance is almost exclusively committed by women. And even when u find a case committed by a male, it’s nearly universal that a woman put him up to it. It seems to be correlated to post partum depression.
