A year before Doug Emhoff went on a blind date with Kamala Harris, he allegedly slapped his then-girlfriend in the face for what he thought was flirting. He slapped her so hard it completely spun her around and she then called a friend while sobbing on the phone.
The incident happened in France back in 2012 at the Cannes film festival. The successful lawyer, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, broke up with him after seeing his dark side.
The New York Post explains more below:
Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband is being accused of slapping his ex-girlfriend for flirting with a valet worker at a ritzy gala in 2012, a new report claims.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, supposedly struck his then-girlfriend — described as a successful New York attorney — in the face so hard she spun around while in a valet line after an event at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012, the three unnamed friends of the woman reportedly told the Daily Mail.
All three sources requested not to be named due to fear of retaliation from Emhoff – who frequently positions himself as an ally for women.
