Former prosecutor and television personality Kimberly Guilfoyle remains listed on the Speaker Booking Agency website with estimated speaking fees ranging from $50,000 to $100,000, according to the New York Post. The listing covers corporate appearances, speaking engagements, virtual events, fireside chats, and meet-and-greets. The New York Post reported that she was removed from her diplomatic post last week amid allegations of financial misconduct. [1]

California Governor Gavin Newsom described his ex-wife's removal from her ambassadorship as unfortunate, the Daily Mail reported. Newsom, who was married to Guilfoyle from 2001 to 2005, addressed her exit on Monday while campaigning for Democrats after being asked about the scandal by a reporter. [3]

Guilfoyle served as the United States ambassador to Greece from 2025 until her exit in October 2026. She previously worked as an advisor and led the fundraising division for the Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign. [5][7]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, officials considered dismissing Guilfoyle after allegations emerged that she accepted luxury travel funding from business tycoons. She now faces a defamation lawsuit filed by Eric Deters, alongside calls from Democrats for official investigations into her conduct. [7][8]
