The week before Kimberly Guilfoyle rocked an ostentatious red dress to an event for veterans, she chose to wear a low-cut white dress while promoting her new children’s book, which some believed she stole from Lara Trump’s playbook. On May 16, Guilfoyle uploaded a photo to Instagram where she stood holding a copy of “The Princess and Her Pup.” In the caption she described the book as “a wholesome and heartfelt story about the importance of friendship and the value of courage.” Unfortunately, the dress she chose for the snap was anything but “wholesome,” as several people on Instagram pointed out. “Put some clothes on,” one user replied in the comments.
That snap of Guilfoyle in the eye-catching white number was uploaded to X, formerly Twitter, where the TV host was roasted. “Nothing sells children’s books like cleavage,” one person chided. “Usually when selling a children’s book you try not to scare them,” another quipped.
Guilfoyle’s dress was not the only object of derision when she announced her pup-centric kids’ book as her announcement also had poor timing. Multiple Instagram users made crass comments about Kristi Noem, the Republican governor of South Dakota. Noem was once a frontrunner to be Donald Trump’s running mate for the 2024 election but received a ton of backlash in April 2024 for writing in her memoir about the time she killed a puppy while living on a farm. “Does this mean the puppy (dog emoji) does not end up in a gravel pit in South Dakota,” one Instagram user commented on Guilfoyle’s post.
