Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, a Fox News Media contributor known as Kennedy, alleged on Thursday, October 15, 2026, that former colleague Kimberly Guilfoyle shared sexually explicit photographs of a partner with coworkers during her time at the network. Writing in the Daily Mail, Kennedy stated that Guilfoyle displayed images of a man’s genitalia alongside photos of his American Express credit card.
The allegations follow Guilfoyle’s resignation this week as the U.S. ambassador to Greece. President Donald Trump requested her resignation amid separate accusations that she asked a donor to pay off her personal debt in exchange for administration access. Guilfoyle has denied the allegations against her.
According to Kennedy’s column, Guilfoyle referred to the man in the photographs as "Lex Luthor" and described him as a lovesick cash cow who would do anything to make her happy. Kennedy claimed that Guilfoyle showed her and several friends images of the man’s "Amex black card," both front and back, paired with corresponding pictures of his private parts. Kennedy described the behavior as part of a pattern of "unrelenting narcissism."
Guilfoyle previously left Fox News in 2018. Reports at the time of her departure indicated she was forced out following allegations of sexual misconduct, which included claims that she showed personal pictures of male genitalia to colleagues. At that time, Guilfoyle’s attorney described those accusations as "baseless."
For those involved in the administration or the donor class, these reports outline a change in how access was reportedly brokered, moving from standard political engagement to alleged personal debt relief. A person in a similar professional environment would notice a direct impact on workplace harassment standards and ethics protocols. The reported behavior, if verified, sets a precedent regarding the vetting of diplomatic appointees and the handling of sexual misconduct allegations within major media organizations.
The knock-on effects could influence future ethics investigations by the State Department or other federal oversight bodies regarding the conduct of ambassadors. It also places renewed scrutiny on the internal HR policies at Fox News dating back to 2018. As of October 16, 2026, no further legal filings or official hearings have been scheduled, though Guilfoyle has already complied with the request to resign her diplomatic post. The specific timeline for any potential ethics probes into the donor allegations remains not reported.
