Kimberly Guilfoyle's Firing Was Revealed During Katie Zacharia's First White House Press Briefing
The former First Lady of San Francisco's departure from her Greek Ambassador role was announced during Katie Zacharia's first briefing as the new White House press secretary, when she confirmed that the Trump administration had asked the ambassador to Greece to resign.
The announcement came after reports raised questions about her alleged financial dealings and conduct while serving in the diplomatic role. The news also was taken to the next level when Donald Trump addressed the situation himself, distancing himself from his son's former fiancée and saying that the administration did not like what it had been reading about her. Kimberly, meanwhile, confirmed that her time as ambassador was coming to an end and denied the allegations against her.
"We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign," the new press secretary told reporters. "She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well."
Fans Express Sympathy For Kimberly Guilfoyle
The news of the 57-year-old's departure has prompted some people online to express sympathy for her, especially since her personal life has also been the subject of public attention.
After spending years with Donald Trump Jr. and becoming engaged to him in 2020, the pair announced their split in December 2024, around the same time his relationship with socialite Bettina Anderson became public. The pair have since married, with social media users speculating that the event likely hurt and embarrassed Kimberly.
Now, some social media users are sending her more sympathy, with the news of her resignation causing some to wonder just how people are treated within the Trump circle, while others offer words of support as she faces another difficult moment in the public eye.
"And just like that... written off and out of the family," responded an X user.
"You're useful in this administration until you aren't," added another.
"He throws everyone under the bus," commented a user, referring to Trump. "Just a matter of time before he does it to his own kids."
"No one is valued," a user added, with another angry user addressing the president and writing, "She had such high hopes for you and your corrupt administration."
