Three people told The Daily Mail that VP Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, slapped an ex-friend for flirting with another man.
The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France.One of her friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her cab, and described the alleged assault.DailyMail.com is not naming the woman, who is a successful New York attorney, but will refer to her by the pseudonym ‘Jane’.A second friend said Jane, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time.A third friend told DailyMail.com that Jane first told her in 2014 that she had dated Emhoff, and recounted the full story of his alleged abuse in 2018, when then senator Harris was in the news after grilling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate hearing over sexual assault allegations.The friends, who all asked not to be named for fear of retaliation by Emhoff, shared with DailyMail.com pictures of him and Jane together from 2012, and other documents and communications corroborating elements of the story.
The alleged incident happened on May 24, 2012. Wealthy friends gave Jane to the Foundation for AIDS Research Gala Dinner, which top celebrities attended outside of Cannes, France.
Jane brought Emhoff as her date.
One of the friends recounted the phone call he received from Jane that night:
‘It was hard to hear her because she was sobbing,’ he said. ‘She told me she was with a guy and he hit her.’It was very clear what she was telling me. She said she was with a guy, her date, she was at the Cannes Film Festival, and he hit her. She was in the car with the guy at the time.’I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know whether to call the French police. I couldn’t get a hold of her after calling back.’He said he still had a ‘vivid’ memory of the troubling conversation from 12 years ago.’In later conversations, but pretty contemporaneous with that, she told me more about the guy,’ he added.’It was something like 3am. They were trying to get out of there and they both had been drinking. There was a gigantic line for taxis.'[Jane] went up to one of the valet guys, offered him 100 Euros or whatever, to get to the head of the line. She told me she put her hand on his shoulder. Doug apparently thought that she was flirting, and came over and slapped her in the face.’She slapped him back.’My impression is that he had a lot to drink. She was sobbing [on the phone afterwards], but she wasn’t slurring her words.’She told me that she broke up with him that night.’
Jane told the same story to another friend but with more detail:
‘She said he turned her around by her right shoulder, and she was completely caught off guard. He hauled up and slapped her so hard she spun around. She said she was in utter shock.’She was so furious, she slapped him on one side, and then on the other cheek with the other hand.’
All three friends told the outlet Jane tried to escape, but “Emhoff forced his way into the cab with her.
They also said that night woke her up, “realizing the self-delusion she was having, explaining away the teacher story.”
Jane knew right then that Emhoff was bad news.
Yes. The teacher and nanny story!
The friends also claimed that “Jane” told them that Emhoff talked to her about his affair with Najen Naylor, the nanny and teacher:
All three of Jane’s friends said she also told them about a disturbing alleged incident during her relationship with the Second Gentleman, in which Emhoff nonchalantly admitted to impregnating Naylor.Emhoff told Jane that the nanny accused him of causing her to have a miscarriage, the friends claimed.According to the friends, Emhoff did not say how he was allegedly responsible for the miscarriage, and he told Jane that the nanny’s claims were false.But the Second Gentleman allegedly confessed to Jane that he paid Naylor a settlement of around $80,000, and had the nanny sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
“Jane” did not make any comment to The Daily Mail.
What a guy.
Just the other day, Jen Psaki gushed over Emhoff. She fawned over his ability to reshape “the perception of masculinity” and blah, blah, blah.
