The brief
A former Fox News host says Kimberly Guilfoyle showed X-rated photographs paired with a man’s American Express black card while they worked together, according to a piece by Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery summarized in the New York Post.
Montgomery wrote that Guilfoyle “openly bragged” about her sex life at the network and at one point pulled out pictures that paired explicit images with the front and back of a credit card. Montgomery said she and several friends were shown the images and that there were at least three such photo-and-card sets.
Montgomery’s account, as presented by the New York Post, includes specific language Guilfoyle used about the man she linked to the images: Montgomery said Guilfoyle called him “Lex Luthor” and described him as a “lovesick cash cow.” The New York Post excerpt also cites earlier reporting: it notes a New Yorker story that said Guilfoyle engaged in graphic sexual talk and often shared lewd images while at Fox News.
The New York Post summary of Montgomery’s piece also references a Wall Street Journal report that said Guilfoyle asked former GOP congressional candidate Eric Deters for $100,000 to pay off her American Express card ahead of a confirmation hearing for an ambassadorship.
Montgomery’s account places the alleged photo showings in the context of colleagues’ discomfort, saying she initially bonded with Guilfoyle over political views but became less comfortable the more she learned about Guilfoyle’s behavior.
Montgomery’s column appeared in the Daily Mail and was relayed in the New York Post; the Mediaite headline confirms a similar allegation in other outlets’ summaries.
The available account is a personal allegation by a former colleague; the New York Post presents Montgomery’s description and cites prior media stories for related claims about Guilfoyle’s conduct at Fox News and a reported request for money tied to an American Express balance.
The published excerpts do not include a statement from Kimberly Guilfoyle in response to Montgomery’s piece, nor do they provide independent corroboration of the specific photo-and-card pairings beyond Montgomery’s account and the referenced prior reporting.
The report specifies the images were shown to Montgomery and friends, that the card shown was a man’s American Express black card, and that Montgomery counted at least three such pairings.
The allegation, as described in the New York Post excerpt of Montgomery’s column, ties personal conduct claims to Guilfoyle’s time at Fox News and recalls prior reporting about her conduct and a reported request involving an American Express balance.
Why it matters
- Colleagues who worked with Guilfoyle at Fox News are the directly affected population named by Montgomery, who says she and several friends were shown the images.
- The concrete mechanism of reputational harm is published allegations in a former colleague’s column and subsequent coverage in national outlets, which could affect Guilfoyle’s public standing and professional opportunities documented in the sources.
- The reporting cites a documented money request reported by the Wall Street Journal—Eric Deters was asked for $100,000 to pay off an American Express card—which connects the credit-card detail in Montgomery’s account to an independently reported financial claim.
What to watch next
- Whether Kimberly Guilfoyle or her representatives issue a public statement addressing Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery’s claims in the Daily Mail and the New York Post summary.
- Whether Eric Deters or the Wall Street Journal provides additional documentation or comment about the reported $100,000 request tied to an American Express card.
- Whether other colleagues from Guilfoyle’s time at Fox News publish corroborating or contradictory accounts regarding the sharing of explicit images and credit-card pairings.
