America’s newly appointed ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is set to make an ostentatious entrance into her diplomatic role, raising eyebrows among some diplomatic circles. According to plans leaked to the Daily Mail, Guilfoyle, who was previously engaged to Donald Trump Jr., will host a high-profile nightclub event on Sunday, featuring Greek pop sensation Konstantinos Argiros. To make her way to Greece, she’s reportedly traveling with billionaire Eric Vassilatos, co-founder of Vivid Seats.
The party is scheduled to take place at Kentro Athinon, a popular dance club in downtown Athens known for its tradition of audiences showering performers with flowers. This extravagant debut has sparked concerns among those assisting Guilfoyle with her new responsibilities, who worry that such a spectacle might not send the right message to countries like Russia and China. A source familiar with the event shared with the Daily Mail, “We look like the banana republic right now.” Attendees of the November 2 event, starting at 9 p.m., have been asked to RSVP to the U.S. Embassy in Athens. Guilfoyle, Vassilatos, and Argiros, who have been seen socializing in cities like London and Miami, are reportedly planning a series of luxurious gatherings, including exclusive club parties and Aegean yacht excursions on Vassilatos’s boat.
Guilfoyle’s connection with Argiros first caught public attention during a charity event in London for The Hellenic Initiative on October 9, where she joined him on stage for a dance. The trio’s frequent appearances together have fueled speculation about their increasingly public relationship. Despite attempts to contact Guilfoyle and the State Department for comments, no immediate responses were received by the Daily Mail. Individuals close to Guilfoyle, who are involved in her transition to her ambassadorial duties, have expressed concerns that her prominent social activities with a CEO and a Greek pop star might compromise her diplomatic credibility. Meanwhile, another source indicated that influential Greek-Americans are positioning themselves as ‘gatekeepers,’ eager to connect with the new ambassador.
‘They are trying to wiggle their way into her world since she is coming in fresh and naive with this level of status. Plus, she has an in with the president,’ a source close to Guilfoyle told Daily Mail. Greece’s new ambassador is scheduled to officially begin her duties next Tuesday after arriving in Athens –– when she will present her diplomatic credentials to Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas. Her debut engagement as ambassador is slated for November 6–7, when she will host a reception at the Zappeion in conjunction with the Transatlantic Energy Cooperation Forum. Among the reportedly expected attendees are US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Greece’s Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou. Guilfoyle, the firebrand MAGA loyalist, initially lobbied to be the ambassador to the Vatican before settling for her comfy post in Greece, four sources familiar with the matter exclusively tell the Daily Mail. Trump shut down the idea of the Vatican immediately, with one source describing it as ‘a non–starter.’
Greece, a sun–soaked vacation destination steeped in ancient history and democracy, situated across from Italy and hundreds of miles from the Vatican,was seen as a compromise. Sources close to the president say Sergio Gor, former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office and a close ally of Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr., pushed her for a diplomatic post. Guilfoyle was not on the transition team’s final shortlist for Greece before Gor inserted her name as an alternative.
A diplomatic source told the Daily Mail, ‘It came out of left field. There was no way they were going to give her the Vatican. It wouldn’t be a fit, for many reasons.’ Guilfoyle’s public persona and background would likely have raised eyebrows among Vatican officials, making the appointment unconventional and controversial in such a sensitive setting. Guilfoyle said she never pursued the Vatican and is ‘very excited to be the first female ambassador to Greece.’
