Insiders fear brazen revenge from Guilfoyle

‘Ambassador from hell’ Kimberly Guilfoyle has been dealt another humiliation after her public firing as envoy to Greece: She won’t get a traditional farewell from the Hellenic Republic’s leader, sources tell the Daily Mail.

The ousted ambassador, who resigned from her post on Tuesday, would have expected to do the rounds of top figures in the Greek government if her tenure had expired under normal circumstances.

But the firestorm of accusations against Guilfoyle, 57, that led to the Trump administration calling for her resignation this week means any ceremonial send-off or cozy backslapping with Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas is now firmly off the table, the Daily Mail has been told.

‘Protocol has it that with every outgoing ambassador a courtesy call is placed with the head of state, the prime minister and the foreign minister,’ said a senior source at the Athens embassy.

‘However, because of her sudden ousting she will not be allowed to say goodbye.’

President Tasoulas’s office has confirmed to the Daily Mail there are no current plans for Guilfoyle to formally bid farewell with a ‘protocol visit.’

However, a senior Tasoulas aide has speculated that Guilfoyle may take the matter into her own hands.

‘She is so brazen that no one is discounting she might show up anyway to try to force a grand farewell despite her current ignominy,’ the aide said. ‘Anyone would be enormously embarrassed to do that, but this is Kimberly.’

Embassy insider calls Guilfoyle’s sudden departure unprecedented

The extraordinary snub comes as Guilfoyle’s abrupt departure has rattled the US Embassy in Athens.

‘This is unprecedented,’ said one of the mission’s longest-serving staffers, who spoke anonymously.

‘We have never seen such a violent beheading of the mission. Usually, these push-outs happen quietly. This was abrupt.’

Her ignominious fall came within days of a Wall Street Journal report alleging she asked Trump donor Eric Deters to pay a $100,000 credit card bill shortly before her July 2025 Senate confirmation hearing, texting that it ‘won’t show up anywhere.’

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who visited Athens last week, called her ‘a strong ambassador,’ but said he didn’t know whether the allegations were true.

Ahead of his trip, Guilfoyle had asked State Department officials if they could get the Daily Mail’s exclusive report detailing an unpaid €1,586 ($1,778) dinner tab deleted, the Journal reported.

But when State Department officials requested a receipt to prove that she paid the bill, she did not provide one, according to the Journal. Sources familiar with the exchange had told the Daily Mail that the bill was ultimately sent to the embassy.

Guilfoyle addressed her resignation on Tuesday and said she would ‘vigorously defend’ herself against the allegations that precipitated her departure.

Embassy insider claims Guilfoyle was ‘played’ amid scandal

One longtime embassy insider, who recently retired after serving under numerous ambassadors, questioned whether Guilfoyle had been left exposed as the scandal unfolded.

‘It makes you wonder whether this was really an ending or whether this all played out like it was supposed to,’ said the source.

‘We all knew this ambassadorship had an expiration date. But it does seem like she was played.’

The former staffer said no public-affairs operation shielded her as the story broke, or even as she took on the post.

Everything, the insider said, was ‘devoid of any and every semblance of protocol.’

The source also claimed Guilfoyle appeared to play her last card with Rubio, who flew in for the US-Greece Strategic Dialogue just as the Wall Street Journal broke the story about her dealings.

‘She was all over him, obsessive,’ the source said. ‘Perhaps the most telling moment was her last moments with him, when she gave him a massive bear hug, ringing to everyone in the know, “Save me, please.”‘

Footage of the pair’s farewell was broadcast live across Greece.

Embassy staff reportedly relieved by Guilfoyle’s departure

Meanwhile, Guilfoyle’s 11-month tenure is still being chewed over by embassy staff, some of whom made little effort to hide their relief of her departure.

‘There is no semblance of shock, rather relief that she’s been fired. She was horrible and mean and spoke down to just about everybody,’ one senior source said.

The source added: ‘She simply wouldn’t listen to anyone, even the most experienced career diplomats surrounding her.

‘And she was set up to succeed. The guard rails were there to protect her, but she completely defied them and openly said “I’m going to do what I want to do.”

‘She reminds you of someone…she came in and operated with the air of a female Donald Trump.’

Even those who grew close to Guilfoyle during her stint said they were deliberately giving her space amid the fallout.

‘No one is calling her today,’ the friend said.

The source described Guilfoyle, the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr, as ‘such a smart and canny person’ who knew ‘from day one why she was here – tossed away as far away as possible from Don Jr.’

‘Even if she was in angst about this, she would have never shown or revealed the extent of it,’ the friend said.

‘She’s an amazing gal. And rest assured, she will not get lost in the maelstrom.’

Guilfoyle’s alleged secret burn book threatens Trump family

Earlier this week, insiders alleged to the Daily Mail that Guilfoyle has kept a secret ‘burn book’ – dubbed ‘The Devil Wears MAGA’ by insiders – documenting the Trump family, and is ready to burn bridges.

At the embassy Tuesday night, where Guilfoyle has reportedly been holed up, the entrance was sealed and almost lifeless.

Only three of the floodlights along its whitewashed walls were lit, and two guards stood at the front gate.

At about 7.07pm, a bulky dark SUV accompanied by an escort car swept into the compound, although it was unclear who was inside.

Lights inside Guilfoyle’s office at the Athens embassy were on Wednesday, although her exact whereabouts and departure plans remain unknown.

Her official residence, Jefferson House, was surrounded by high walls, with a lone Greek police officer stationed outside.
