Fox News reportedly paid off Kimberly Guilfoyle’s assistant after harassment claim

Fox News paid the former assistant to Kimberly Guilfoyle approximately $4m after she drafted a complaint alleging sexual harassment against her former boss, The New Yorker reports.

Citing multiple sources, the magazine’s reporting builds on stories surrounding Ms Guilfoyle’s abrupt departure from the network in 2018.

Now finance chair of the Trump campaign and in a relationship with Donald Trump Jr, Ms Guilfoyle was once co-host of The Five. She left the network in July 2018 with Fox News only providing a one-sentence statement saying that it had parted ways with her.

In November 2018, HuffPost reported that her exit came after an investigation into inappropriate behaviour and allegations of sexual misconduct.
