Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. ambassador to Greece on Tuesday after the White House requested her departure amid damaging reports. Reports surfaced that she asked a Republican donor to pay off her credit card before her Senate confirmation hearing in July 2025. President Trump stated she was doing a good job but that he "didn't like what I read." Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality, was one of the first ambassadors nominated in the president's second term.
In Greece, she was a highly visible figure, appearing on the cover of Vogue Greece and attending parties in Athens. She defended her record, stating she was proud of expanding American liquefied natural gas exports to Europe and strengthening NATO defense partnerships. In her resignation post, she vowed to vigorously defend her name and reputation against false accusations.
Her tenure followed a decades-long relationship with Gavin Newsom, whom she married in 2004 before divorcing in 2006. She later dated Donald Trump Jr., becoming engaged in 2020 and speaking at both the 2020 and 2024 Republican National Conventions. The resignation caps a remarkable rise and fall for the former media personality.
