A bad loss prevails since yesterday, Wednesday, December 11, 2024, when it became known that the Kimberly Guilfoyle will be the new US ambassador to Greece. It is true that hearing her name – initially – caused a “numbness” in Greek diplomacy, however Athens and specifically the government sees in her a window of opportunity for greater “penetration” in Trump’s environment.

It is typical of the “numbness” and the prevailing embarrassment that among the first to “welcome” the Kimberly Guilfoyle it was the member of parliament of Serres of the ND, Tasos Hatzivasileiou, through a “story” on social media, where he also “tagged” her name.

Kimberly Guilfoyle he is not a random person. She is a personal friend of Donald Trump, his former daughter-in-law, after she was engaged to his son, Donald Trump Jr.

Who is Kimberly Guilfoyle?

Kimberly Guilfoyle was born in 1969 and her story is very reminiscent of the… American dream. She was the child of immigrants, an Irishman and a Puerto Rican woman, she grew up in San Francisco and studied law at the same city’s university, while working as a model.

From 1994 to 2004, she served in various positions in the state justice of California (San Francisco and Los Angeles), while in 2004 she settled in New York, where a little later, in 2006, her career at Fox News began.

Donald Trump announced the appointment in a post on the Truth Social platform. “It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Kimberly Guilfoyle as the US Ambassador to Greece. For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally of mine. Her vast experience and leadership in justice, media, and politics, along with her acumen, make her uniquely qualified to represent the U.S. and protect our interests abroad. He is the ideal person to strengthen our strong bilateral relations with Greece and to advance our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.”

Immediately after the announcement of her appointment, Kimberly Guilfoyle thanked the president-elect for the trust he has shown in her, expressing her readiness to advance the new administration’s agenda and support the US’s alliance with Greece.

The accusations of sexual harassment

Between 2001 and 2006 she was married to the current governor of California, Gavin Newsom, who in 2004 was the mayor of San Francisco. In fact, when Guilfoyle left for the East Coast, the tabloids were already talking about the couple’s estrangement, but also about Newsom’s infidelities.

Already since then, Guilfoyle had no problem referring to details of her personal life, such as the mayor’s large penis or their sexual habits. Guilfoyle married New York heir Eric Villanci soon after her divorce from Newsom, with whom she has a son, Ronan, who is now 18.

However, if something “burdens” her history is the accusation, by her former assistant, of sexual harassment – she denies that it happened – while her collaboration with Kamala Harris in the prosecutor’s office also had a “negative” sign. San Francisco.

Fox News paid $4 million. dollars to her former aide to avoid legal action, while the future ambassador has been accused of workplace misconduct, including displaying indecent images of male genitalia. The channel forced her out in July 2018 – several years before her contract was due to expire. At the time, she was the co-host of the political talk show ‘The Five’. Kimberly Guilfoyle has publicly denied all allegations.

It is a given that the controversial choice of Donald Trump worries the Ministry of Foreign Affairsbut for now he keeps “silent fish”. This is because her profile does not seem to meet the standard requirements of the role, but at the same time raises questions about her ability to meet these requirements.

What has he said about Greece?

The cheated ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. has not spoken in the best words about Greece. In an episode of her Fox News show in 2015, she called the Greeks “lazy” and “jumps”, noting that they rely too much on the -any- government.

In fact, she had said – addressing her co-presenters – that the problem with the debt crisis in Greece is that “no one punishes”, like when a “dog pees on the carpet”. Adding that we need… “education”. It was Kimberly Guilfoyle’s delightful delusion.
