Story summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle, who was previously linked to Donald Trump Jr., had a public breakup amid speculation about the reasons behind their split. According to a Wall Street Journal investigation, Guilfoyle allegedly asked Eric Deters, a MAGA donor, to pay her personal credit card debt in exchange for access to the administration. Deters claims that around September 2024, before the election, Guilfoyle's relationship with Trump Jr deteriorated significantly as he refused to sit near or speak to her at events. When questioned by Deters about a photo of Trump Jr and another woman, Bettina Anderson, Guilfoyle reportedly snapped and denied any issues in their relationship despite these clear signs of discord. The breakup was particularly nasty, with Guilfoyle allegedly asking Deters' wife to secretly bring alcohol to her due to concerns over being caught drinking by Trump Jr.
