Vanessa Trump officialized the romantic relationship of her ex Donald Trump Jr. with the Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle and supported the woman after she was attacked harshly by the press.
Donald Trump Jr. found an ally with his ex-wife after she defended his new girlfriend with a tweet this Thursday, June 14. The tweet came as support to Trump Jr.'s tweet saying Liberal privilege at its best.
The lengths people will go to attach a woman simply because she's dating Don.
She further stated that she had been separated for over 9 months now. She also went on to add that she and her ex-husband respect each other's decisions and privacy.
Furthermore, she added,
We'll focus on raising our great kids. Would be nice if the press did the same rather than obsess over our Pvt lives!

President Trump's son called out the NY Daily News after he perceived its news to be a racist attack on Guilfoyle. The piece was written by Linda Stasi who wrote that the Fox host should be fired from the channel.
Don. Jr. tweeted about the Daily News column that wrote the Puerto Rican Kimberly Guilfoyle to 'Pick Grapes',
I guess hypocrisy, sexism & racist rhetoric are alive & well there.
How did this get past her editors at the @NYDailyNews? Or do they condone this kind of talk? I guess hypocrisy, sexism & racist rhetoric are alive & well there.

Following the backlash on Twitter, Linda Stasi also took to Twitter to apologize for the misunderstanding.
She wrote,
Absolutely no idea that Kimberly Guilfoyle is half Puerto Rican...and my column was in no way meant as a slur. Nonetheless I will change that reference online. I'm just surprised anyone would have assumed such a stereotype b/c someone is half-Latina. So sorry for misunderstanding
