Greece AmbassadorKimberly Guilfoyle Was Allegedly ‘Spiraling’ After Her Live TV Firing

Photo Illustration by Eric Faison/The Daily Beast/Reuters Kimberly Guilfoyle “was spiraling” and threatened to retract her resignation in the hours after she quit the Trump administration in disgrace, it has been claimed.

President Donald Trump, 80, finally ended Guilfoyle’s controversial stint as ambassador to Greece—and likely her hopes of ever working in frontline politics again—in humiliating fashion on Tuesday after nearly a week of damaging headlines over her alleged financial dealings.

The news was delivered to the world by his new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, 41, who used her first media briefing to announce the jaw-dropping development that Guilfoyle, 57, had been asked to resign.

Now a MAGA-world source has revealed to the Daily Beast’s sister outlet, PunchUp, just how badly Guilfoyle took the very public blow—which they claim led her to call around her rich GOP donor friends in a state of distress.

Trump’s close aides were informed of Guilfoyle’s apparent anguish just as the president took the stage at his Tuesday evening rally in Alaska, one said.

“Kimberly was spiraling, calling people and suggesting, ‘Maybe I don’t resign,’” the official claimed.

“I don’t think she was serious, but she was in her feelings last night.

She was processing what had happened—but not very well.” A second official added, “We shouldn’t have had to fire Kimberly on live TV—she should have handed in her resignation before that.” Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s former fiancée, had spent days fighting to save her job as allegations mounted over her financial dealings and conduct as ambassador.

She had allegedly asked MAGA donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill without leaving a paper trail, while offering access to powerful figures in Trump’s orbit, as reported extensively by the Daily Beast .

She has also faced allegations involving luxury travel, improper gifts, and her treatment of embassy staff, which sparked a probe by the State Department’s inspector general.

Guilfoyle has denied wrongdoing through her lawyer, Jesse Binnall, and maintained that her financial dealings were legitimate.

As the storm grew, Guilfoyle refused to walk, even as the president publicly signaled that her days were numbered.

Asked Monday whether he was considering firing his son’s former partner of six years, Trump told reporters : “Well, we’re looking at.

Yeah, we’re not happy.” Behind the scenes, Guilfoyle was reported to be scrambling to cling to her position , blaming staff for damaging leaks and seeking help from influential conservative media figures.
