Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff is facing serious allegations of assault, with three friends of the alleged victim coming forward to claim he struck a woman during a 2012 altercation at the Cannes Film Festival.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff faces serious allegations of physically assaulting a woman in 2012, with three friends of the alleged victim, pseudonymously referred to as "Jane," coming forward to support her claims. According to a report by the *Daily Mail*, Emhoff allegedly struck Jane in the face at the Cannes Film Festival, leading her to spin around from the force of the blow. The incident reportedly took place after a night of drinking and a dispute over a taxi in the early morning hours.
Jane’s friends, who remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, allege that Emhoff became angry after perceiving Jane’s actions toward a valet as flirting, prompting the assault. One friend recalls receiving a tearful phone call from Jane that night, detailing the violent encounter. Another friend corroborates the story, describing how Jane slapped Emhoff in return before ending their relationship that night.
The *Daily Mail* report includes further documentation, such as a photograph of Emhoff with Jane and travel documents linking him to the trip. Jane’s friends also claim that Emhoff was unapologetic the next day and that he had previously confessed to settling a legal dispute with a nanny for $80,000—a separate incident in which the nanny accused him of causing a miscarriage.
These allegations raise questions about Emhoff’s past as he and Vice President Kamala Harris face scrutiny from the media, particularly during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The potential fallout could affect their standing as the 2024 election approaches.
