Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, is facing serious accusations from over a decade ago. A report from the Daily Mail reveals that Emhoff allegedly struck his then-girlfriend during an argument after a Cannes Film Festival event in 2012. This shocking information comes from three friends of the alleged victim, who say Emhoff slapped her so hard that she spun around while waiting for a valet.
The Incident Details
The incident reportedly took place late at night after both Emhoff and his girlfriend had been drinking. According to one friend, the woman tried to give money to a valet to move up in the long taxi line. Emhoff apparently misread this gesture as flirting, which led him to slap her in the face. In retaliation, she slapped him back.
“It was around 3 a.m. They had both been drinking, and things escalated quickly,” one friend told the Daily Mail. “She was sobbing on the phone afterward and broke up with him that night.”
Evidence and Reactions
The Daily Mail has chosen to keep the identity of the alleged victim private, referring to her as “Jane.” They provided supporting evidence, including a copy of Emhoff and “Jane’s” travel itinerary confirming their attendance at the Cannes Film Festival.
After the incident, friends claim Emhoff showed no remorse. Instead, he reportedly joked about it later using a tennis metaphor, saying, “Don’t worry about it, you got one across the court and down the line.” Additionally, there are claims that Emhoff admitted to cheating on his first wife with their children’s nanny, which allegedly resulted in a pregnancy.
Contradictions with Public Persona
Despite these troubling allegations, Emhoff has built a public image as a supporter of women’s rights, especially as the husband of Kamala Harris. However, these claims offer a stark contrast to that persona. One friend remarked, “He’s a really bad guy. To hold him out as a supporter of women is just disgusting.”
Lack of Response
As of now, neither Doug Emhoff nor Kamala Harris has publicly addressed these serious allegations. This silence raises questions about how they intend to handle this situation moving forward.
