Kimberly Guilfoyle celebrates son Ronan’s 18th birthday with photo fest and Internet has one suggestion
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kimberly Guilfoyle marked her son Ronan Villency's 18th birthday with a heartfelt post on Instagram, but it quickly turned into a platform for political commentary.
The former prosecutor and media personality took to Instagram to commemorate the occasion, sharing a carousel of heavily edited photos featuring herself alongside her son, instead of allowing Ronan to have his moment in the limelight.

The carousel displayed Ronan at various formal events, yet each image prominently featured a heavily photoshopped version of Guilfoyle. While it’s clear she enjoys curating her online persona, many followers felt she overshadowed her son’s big day.
Despite the misstep, Guilfoyle's caption did attempt to redirect some attention to her son. "Happy 18th Birthday, Ronan! Watching you grow into the incredible young man you are today has been my greatest joy. Love you to the moon and back!"
This isn’t the first instance of Guilfoyle drawing attention to herself during moments meant for Ronan. Previously, her choice of a flashy purple dress at Ronan’s prom send-off raised eyebrows, making the occasion more about her than her son.

Although there have been more genuine posts, like heartfelt tributes on National Son Day and Mother’s Day, this latest birthday celebration appears to have fallen flat, resonating with a sense of tone-deafness that has become somewhat characteristic of Guilfoyle.

Another chimed in, "Hope he is a Republican."
"Happy 18th Birthday, Ronan! You get to vote! VOTE TRUMP!," a user said.
"Happy birthday to your handsome son!! Now let’s register him and get him to the polls!!!" another user wrote.
"Vote Trump," another user wrote, while one user added, "He’s old enough to Vote Trump! Happy Birthday."
