Alleged ex-girlfriend sues media blackout over Doug Emhoff’s ‘slack’

A woman claiming to be an ex-girlfriend of Doug Emhoff and who accused the second gentleman of punching her in the face so hard that she turned away has criticized the mainstream media for ignoring her allegations.

The New York attorney, identified only as “Jane,” spoke out in an interview with the Daily mail about the alleged attack, which was dismissed as “untrue” by a spokesperson for Kamala Harris’ husband.

The incident, which was first reported in the Mail on October 2 reportedly happened in 2012 during a drunken fight while the couple attended the Cannes Film Festival in France.

In the interview, the woman claims she met Emhoff on the dating app Match.com in 2012, a year before he began his relationship with Harris. She says he lived in Los Angeles at the time, and she lived in New York.

She described a “fairytale” trip to Cannes for the star-studded festival, but claimed it took an aggressive turn when the couple queued for a taxi outside the Hotel du Cap in Antibes to return at around 3am return to their residence.

“I decided I was going to go to the clerk and give them $100 to get out of this line,” the woman told police. Mail. “I put my hand on the clerk’s shoulder and told him that with my hundred dollars you can get me a car as soon as possible. As I talk to him, Doug steps out of line, comes forward and turns me by my right shoulder. I’m completely overwhelmed, I’m not bracing myself, I’m wearing four inch heels, a long dress and it’s between 2 and 3 in the morning. He slaps me so hard that I turn around, and I’m in total shock.

“There had been no argument, no arguing,” she claimed. “It had been an absolutely fantastic event. I’m so furious. All I could think of was to hit him back. I hit him on one side and with the other hand on the other cheek.

“That’s when his mask fell off and I saw his dark side,” she added.

In the Mail According to the report, “Jane” also claimed that Emhoff told her that his marriage to first wife Kerstin ended after he “had an affair with his daughter’s teacher and she then claimed she was pregnant.”

The woman continued: “He was shouting at her. He never said he hit her, but he said he got very angry with her, and she then claimed that whatever he did caused her to lose the pregnancy.

“He said there was no evidence the woman had become pregnant. He tried to make it seem like she was scamming him,” she added.

The Mail wrote that the woman decided to speak out because Emhoff denied the original report and continued to represent herself as a feminist in interviews.

She emphasized in the report that her motives were not political and that both she and her husband were registered Democrats, voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election and donated $10,000 to his campaigns.

She was reportedly angry about the mainstream media’s apathy towards her story.

“I told this story to my friends. And I kept saying, this is a big problem, why doesn’t anyone in the media care? And apparently no one has done that,” she told the newspaper Mail. “No reporters directly asked Doug about these allegations.

“When some news organizations re-reported your reporting, they even left out the claim that the teacher had become pregnant. I was furious. It’s so clear what’s happening. I’m so disgusted by it,” she added.

The Daily Beast has contacted the Harris campaign and the White House for comment.

After the MailIn the October 2 report alleging the woman was struck by Emhoff, a spokesperson said: “This report is untrue. Any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.”

Harris, 60, and Emhoff, 59, met in 2013 and married the following year. As the first second gentleman in American history, Emhoff is widely praised for putting his wife’s political ambitions on the back burner and ending his successful legal career.
