Doug Emhoff is accused of “forcibly slapping” a New York girlfriend for flirting with another man at a fancy gala in 2012: report

Vice President Kamala Harris' husband is accused of slapping his ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man at a posh gala in 2012, according to a new report.

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, is said to have punched his then-girlfriend – a successful New York lawyer – so hard in the face that three unnamed friends left her in line after an event at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012 at a valet, the woman reportedly told the Daily Mail.

The woman – identified only as Jane – was said to have called one of her friends in her taxi while sobbing immediately after the incident, the outlet said.

A second friend claimed that Jane – who had been dating Emhoff for about three months at the time – also told her about the incident, the Daily Mail claimed.

A third acquaintance claimed that Jane told her what happened in 2018 when then-Sen. According to the Mail, Harris was in the headlines for criticizing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh over sexual assault allegations.

All three sources asked not to be named for fear of retaliation from Emhoff, the Daily Mail said.

They shared a series of photos of Emhoff posing with the woman in 2012, as well as other documents that the Daily Mail claimed confirmed some details of the incident.

The ex-girlfriend declined to comment for the story, the outlet said.

The Harris campaign did not immediately comment on the report.
