(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Well… Well… Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, has turned out not to be the beacon of feminism the left has painted him as—with a new report accusing him of “forcefully” slapping his ex-girlfriend.
The alleged assault, fueled by jealousy, took place in May 2012 at the Cannes Film Festival in France, according to three friends of Emhoff’s then-girlfriend, who spoke to the Daily Mail.
The woman, referred to only as “Jane,” was waiting for valet service when she offered cash to get to the front of the line.
Emhoff mistakenly thought Jane was flirting with the valet worker because she placed her hand on his shoulder. In response, Emhoff allegedly slapped her, causing her head to spin.
A male friend of Jane said she called him immediately after the incident to inform him of the assault. This account was corroborated by two other friends of the alleged victim.
“It was hard to hear her because she was sobbing. She told me she was with a guy and he hit her,” the first friend recounted, while seemingly identifying Emhoff. “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.”
This alleged assault adds another scandal to the Harris campaign.
Just two months ago, Emhoff faced backlash after reports surfaced that he had cheated on his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, with their daughter’s nanny, Najen Naylor, who became pregnant during the affair.
The 2008 fling ultimately ended his first marriage and Naylor’s career as an educator. Earlier reports stipulated that Naylor might have terminated the unborn baby’s life, and she received an undisclosed settlement.
However, Naylor suffered a miscarriage and received $80,000 in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement, according to Jane’s friends. Notably, Naylor has not responded to Headline USA’s multiple requests for an interview.
These disturbing accusations continue to unravel the media’s portrayal of Emhoff as a so-called supportive husband and supposed ally to women and the LGBTQ community.
On Sunday, Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary-turned MSNBC anchor, lauded Emhoff with praise, bizarrely claiming his role as second gentleman “reshaped the perception of masculinity.”
In response, Emhoff claimed that he has “always been like this,” crediting his behavior to his father’s influence.
On X, many conservatives scolded Emhoff’s double standard, highlighting the stark contrast between his public persona and troubling past.

Just a few days ago Jen Psaki said Doug Emhoff is reshaping the perception of masculinity.
Turns out he assaulted his ex, cheated on his wife, got his nanny pregnant, and said the nanny claimed he caused her to miscarry.
Is this the masculinity @jrpsaki was referring to? pic.twitter.com/fZE3jh1Bus

This is a horrifying story. I will say that it matches with something I recently learned from two California individuals who know Emhoff fairly well and said his reputation for poor treatment of women was notorious in their circles. https://t.co/0UBAcs6j6d
