Doug Emhoff, husband of Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, faces shocking new allegations of physical assault from an ex-girlfriend, casting doubt on his carefully crafted public image as he bids to become America's first First Gentleman.
A new accusation against Doug Emhoff, husband of Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, threatens to cast a dark shadow over his historic bid to become the nation’s first First Gentleman. Speaking exclusively to the *Daily Mail*, an ex-girlfriend has come forward with allegations that Emhoff physically assaulted her during an incident at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, claims that while waiting in a valet line, Emhoff slapped her hard enough to spin her around after she innocently placed her hand on the valet's shoulder to speed up the process. "I’m in utter shock," she recalled, explaining that the assault left her humiliated and confused. Despite confronting him afterward, Emhoff allegedly justified the slap by accusing her of flirting with the valet.
The allegations are bolstered by multiple friends who corroborated that the woman told them about the incident both at the time and years later. Her motivation for coming forward now? Emhoff’s public image as a feminist has become too much for her to bear. "He’s being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is," she told the *Daily Mail*.
This is not the only troubling claim surrounding Emhoff. The accuser also pointed to Emhoff's alleged affair with his children’s nanny, resulting in a pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage, after which the nanny was reportedly paid off with a nondisclosure agreement. Furthermore, several anonymous women who worked with Emhoff at his Los Angeles law firm have accused him of being a sexist, hiring a “trophy secretary” and retaliating against women who didn’t reciprocate his advances.
These allegations present a deeply disturbing picture of Emhoff, one that far surpasses the accusations faced by conservative figures like Justice Brett Kavanaugh or Clarence Thomas. Yet, the media silence around the Emhoff story is striking, particularly when compared to the coverage given to Republicans facing similar accusations. As one observer noted, "Don’t you dare bring the Emhoff allegations up on CNN."
