Kimberly Guilfoyle resigns as U.S. ambassador to Greece after Trump asked her to step down, Page Six reports

Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned from her post as U.S. ambassador to Greece after President Donald Trump asked her to step down, Page Six reports. The outlet says the White House request came amid allegations that Guilfoyle pressed donors to pay her personal bills; Guilfoyle has denied those allegations. Page Six quoted Guilfoyle as saying she will "vigorously defend" herself against the claims. Page Six places the sequence of events as the president asking her to leave and her subsequent resignation. The report says the request followed the donor-payment claims, but the article does not provide public documentation of those claims beyond that account. The piece identifies Guilfoyle as a media personality who had served in the ambassadorial post and frames her departure as tied to the allegations Page Six describes. The report also recounts elements of Guilfoyle's personal life that the outlet says are relevant to public interest in the story: Page Six reports that Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. ended their engagement in 2024 and have not communicated since. The outlet cites a TMZ source describing the split as amicable and not "nasty" or "bitter."

Page Six further recounts President Donald Trump downplaying his relationship with Guilfoyle, saying she was never a member of his family. The story includes a Page Six description of Guilfoyle appearing at the opening of the sixth round of the Greece-U.S. Strategic Dialogue on Oct. 7, which the outlet uses to situate her role in Greece before her resignation. The article quotes no named U.S. officials on the record about the resignation beyond the president's remark as reported by Page Six, and it records Guilfoyle's denial and pledge to defend herself. Page Six does not publish documentation of the donor-payment allegations in the article text and does not report any formal inquiry, charge, or legal filing tied to the claims. Other outlets ran headlines reporting Guilfoyle's resignation, with NPR, the BBC, PBS and The New York Times among those listed as publishing accounts of the resignation; those headlines corroborate that she left the ambassadorial post but are not quoted or detailed in Page Six's text. The Page Six report is the source for the sequence tying the president's request to step down to the donor-payment allegations and for Guilfoyle's denial and statement to "vigorously defend" herself.
