NEW YORK CITY, NY. (THECOUNT) — The bitter, long-brewing war between Fox News and former Fox host Kimberly Guilfoyle has taken a very public detour into territory strangely familiar for the conservative media behemoth: hotly disputed d**k-pic allegations.
On Friday, HuffPost reported that Guilfoyle’s departure from Fox News came after an internal investigation into her conduct that started last year, which included charges that she was “showing personal photographs of male genitalia to colleagues (and identifying whose genitals they were), regularly discussing sexual matters at work and engaging in emotionally abusive behavior toward hair and makeup artists and support staff.”

Guilfoyle’s legal representation told the news outlet that “accusations of Kimberly engaging in inappropriate work-place conduct are unequivocally baseless and have been viciously made by disgruntled and self-interested employees.” source
Regarding the issue of “personal photographs of male genitalia,” sources familiar with the ongoing drama have offered their version of that particular, attention-grabbing detail. One Fox News employee claimed that the “d**k pics are not what is being implied” by some.
Multiple sources familiar with the situation insist that Guilfoyle was sent photos of male genitalia from at least one person who she said was a “stalker.” She alerted Fox personnel and security to the photos, as is protocol for messages that could be perceived as threats or harassment.
Fox News late Friday declined comment on this story.
