If there’s one thing that Melania Trump doesn’t like, it’s people who use the Trump name for personal gain, and apparently, she thinks Kimberly Guilfoyle is one of them. The former First Lady reportedly had an issue with Guilfoyle receiving a whopping $60,000 payment for her involvement in the “Stop the Steal” rally, which is believed to be the catalyst event to the infamous Capitol Riots in January 2021. CNN reports that the payment was for what was essentially a three-minute introductory speech and had been paid by Turning Point Action, a pro-Trump organization.
This didn’t sit well with Melania, according to Stephanie Grisham, her former aide. Although Melania is arguably the most reserved Trump, probably next to her son, Barron Trump, she is still protective of their name and doesn’t appreciate anyone cashing in on them. “Another big thing with her is that she didn’t like people profiting off of her husband, or her family,” Grisham told MSNBC. “And so when you consider how much Jason Miller has made off of the Trump family, or, you know, Kimberly Guilfoyle demanded $60,000 just to introduce the president the day of the rally, it was things like that that bothered her.”
Guilfoyle eventually ended up getting subpoenaed for her role in the rally, with NBC News reporting that the chairman of the panel investigating the riots said that she “played a key role organizing and raising funds.” The committee also believes that she contributed to spreading debunked conspiracies about election theft, telling the crowd, “We will not allow the liberals and the Democrats to steal our dream or steal our elections.”
