(ProsperNews.net) – Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has been accused of physically assaulting a woman in 2012, according to a recent report by the Daily Mail. The alleged incident took place in France during the Cannes Film Festival, where Emhoff is said to have struck a woman, referred to by the pseudonym “Jane,” in the face while they were waiting in a valet line after a late-night event.
Three friends of the alleged victim have come forward with details of the assault, claiming that Emhoff became angry after misunderstanding a gesture Jane made toward a valet, thinking she was flirting. According to the friends, Emhoff slapped Jane so hard that she spun around. Jane allegedly slapped him back in response, broke up with him, and later recounted the incident in phone calls and conversations with her friends, some of which occurred shortly after the event.
The friends provided the Daily Mail with travel documents and a photo of Emhoff and Jane to support their claims. Jane’s friends say that Emhoff forced his way into a cab with her after the altercation and was unapologetic the next day. The relationship between Jane and Emhoff had reportedly been serious, with discussions of marriage before the alleged assault.
This incident is further complicated by another story involving Emhoff, in which he allegedly paid a settlement to a former nanny whom he had an affair with, an affair that reportedly contributed to the breakdown of his first marriage. Jane’s friends claimed that Emhoff told her about the affair and the settlement, which was reportedly around $80,000. The nanny had also accused Emhoff of causing her to have a miscarriage, an accusation Emhoff denied.
As this story unfolds, the question arises as to how the media and political figures will respond to these serious allegations. With Domestic Violence Awareness Month coinciding with the emergence of these claims, pressure will likely mount on Emhoff and Kamala Harris to address the situation publicly. Jane’s friends and Emhoff’s past are now coming into sharp focus.
