Kimberly Guilfoyle openly shared lewd photo pairings and bragged about sex at Fox News, a former co-host claims, as the ex-ambassador fights fresh allegations.
The New York Post reported that Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery, a former Fox Business host and Fox News contributor, described workplace conduct by Guilfoyle that she says left colleagues stunned years ago.
Montgomery’s account landed as Guilfoyle stepped down from her post as U.S. ambassador to Greece earlier this week, after a separate report that she pressed a Trump donor to cover a large personal credit-card bill ahead of her confirmation hearing.
Guilfoyle has denied wrongdoing across the board and says she will defend her name and record.
In a Daily Mail piece referenced Thursday, Montgomery wrote that she and Guilfoyle first bonded at Fox, including over shared disdain for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Guilfoyle’s ex-husband. That ease did not last, she said.
Montgomery said Guilfoyle showed her and several friends images that paired an American Express black card, front and back, with matching photos of the card holder’s private parts. She said there were at least three such sets.
Before the block of claims, Montgomery put it in blunt terms about the man Guilfoyle allegedly nicknamed “Lex Luthor” and called a “lovesick cash cow.”
Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery wrote:
"Kimberly showed me and several of our friends pictures of his Amex black card, front and back,"
She continued:
"The images were matched with a corresponding picture of the card holder’s private parts."
And:
"There were at least three sets of these credit card-penis pairings."
Montgomery also said Guilfoyle’s sex talk at the network was constant and unfiltered, comparing the tone to a famous TV character known for chasing men.
She wrote:
"In fact, Kimberly talked about sex so cavalierly that she made Samantha from Sex and the City seem like Greta Thunberg,"
Nicknames floated inside the building, per her account, including “Seabiscuit” and “USO.” Montgomery said she grew “less comfortable” as the talk and photo-sharing continued.
Fox has long moved talent in and out of big roles, from new contributors to fresh programming bets, a pattern readers have watched in coverage of Karoline Leavitt’s path toward a Fox contributor role after White House work.
None of this is the first time similar allegations have surfaced in print. 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 worked at Fox News.
Guilfoyle rejected that framing at the time. She told The New Yorker she had never engaged in workplace misconduct of any kind.
Kimberly Guilfoyle said then:
"I have never engaged in any workplace misconduct of any kind,"
She left Fox News in 2018 to work on the 2020 Trump campaign. Reporting at the time tied her exit to a sexual harassment probe; S1 does not spell out a formal finding or final disciplinary record from that period.
Network chair moves and on-air shake-ups still draw heavy attention, including when Fox added Billy Bush as a contributor around other prime-time plans.
The fresh political headache is money, not old studio gossip alone. Last week The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle asked Eric Deters, described as a former GOP congressional candidate and Trump donor, for $100,000 to pay off her American Express card ahead of her confirmation hearing for the Greece post.
Earlier this week she resigned the ambassadorship in the wake of that allegation. Guilfoyle and a lawyer for the former ambassador did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment on Montgomery’s claims.
In a farewell statement posted on X, Guilfoyle called the wider allegations false and said she would fight for her reputation.
Kimberly Guilfoyle stated:
"These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity,"
She added that she has spent her career fighting for justice and defending American values, and that she will not let false accusations define decades of public service.
Personnel churn at the network remains a steady beat for media watchers, whether the story is a new host chair or Leavitt landing a Fox News contributor role after leaving the White House.
Montgomery’s essay does not claim a new lawsuit or a new HR finding. It revisits conduct she says happened while both women overlapped at Fox, then lands in the same news cycle as Guilfoyle’s exit from a high-profile diplomatic job and the Journal’s account of a six-figure personal-card request.
Absolute calendar dates for the photo incidents are not given. Neither is the full legal identity of the man labeled “Lex Luthor,” nor a primary investigative file from the reported 2018 probe.
What is on the record is a pattern of graphic claims, repeated denials from Guilfoyle, a 2018 departure from Fox, a 2020 magazine account she rejected, a Journal report about a $100,000 Amex ask tied to confirmation timing, and a resignation followed by a public pledge to defend her integrity.
Fox continues to experiment with voice and format on its own air, including when it debuted the all-female podcast The Girls as a pointed alternative to daytime ensemble shows.
Executive-level relationships at the company also stay in the spotlight, as when coverage noted that Sen. John Fetterman joined Fox executives at a Murdoch ranch retreat in Montana.
Readers can hold two thoughts at once: workplace boundaries matter, and serious charges deserve evidence, timelines, and a chance to answer, not a pile-on timed to a resignation.
Guilfoyle says she will not let accusations ruin her legacy. In a country that still prizes due process over trial by headline, that fight belongs in the open, with facts first and score-settling second.
