Kamala’s husband slapped ex-girlfriend so hard for ‘flirting’ that it spun her completely around

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.

On Sunday, the Second Gentleman made headlines for his interview with Jen Psaki, who credited him with reshaping “the perception of masculinity.”

“To me, it’s the right thing to do,” Emhoff said of his role as a supportive spouse.

But the three friends who spoke to the Daily Mail provided photos of Emhoff posing with the woman he supposedly slapped in 2012, as well as other documents corroborating the trip they took to the south of France around the time of the alleged incident.

The woman declined to comment on the story, the outlet said.

The Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

The alleged incident came just a year before Emhoff, a successful entertainment lawyer, and Harris met on a blind date.

After the alleged slap, the New York lawyer – who was not identified — called one of the friends, a male businessman, sobbing in her cab immediately after the incident, the outlet said.

Emhoff, the friend said, had forced his way into the cab and was with the woman when she made the call.

“It was very clear what she was telling me,” the source told the Daily Mail. “She said she was with a guy, her date, she was at the Cannes Film Festival, and he hit her. She was in the car with the guy at the time.

The woman allegedly told him, “I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know whether to call the French police. I couldn’t get a hold of her after calling back.”

The friend claimed that he got more details about what happened later on.

“It was something like 3 a.m. They were trying to get out of there and they both had been drinking. There was a gigantic line for taxis,” the source said.

“She went up to one of the valet guys, offered him 100 Euros or whatever, to get to the head of the line. She told me she put her hand on his shoulder. Doug apparently thought that she was flirting, and came over and slapped her in the face.”

She slapped Emhoff back, the businessman said.

“My impression is that he had a lot to drink…. she wasn’t slurring her words,” he said of the woman’s conversation with him right after the alleged incident.

“She told me that she broke up with him that night.”

The pair had been dating for about three months, the Daily Mail said.

The woman called her businessman friend because she wanted, “Doug to see her on the phone, telling somebody,” her friends told the outlet. “She felt that would afford her some protection.”

A second friend – another New York-based female attorney said that the woman also told her about the incident, the Daily Mail claimed.

“They had dinner. She said Doug was very charming, and it was lovely. Then I believe it was between 2-3am, it was still raging, but she was wearing four-inch heels and a floor-length gown, so it was time to depart,” the lawyer said.

“She said there’d been no fight before he hit her. You would have thought it was this fairytale trip.”

She was “completely caught off guard” by Emhoff’s sudden attack, the woman alleged.

“He hauled up and slapped her so hard she spun around. She said she was in utter shock,” she told the Daily Mail. “She was so furious, she slapped him on one side, and then on the other cheek with the other hand.”

All three friends said that the woman tried to leave following the assault, but that Emhoff forced his way into the cab with her, according to the Daily Mail.

“She said she wanted to go back to the hotel without him. But while she was shutting the door, he forced himself into the car, which she did not want.

“I think she asked him ‘what the f–k was that all about?’ in the car, and the only thing she could really get out of him was that he thought she was hitting on the valet.”

One source added: “She couldn’t believe he is the person that he is, and that it turned into this trailer trash moment,” she lamented.

“She realized he was bad news. This was the first time she saw his ugly side.”

He was apparently very unapologetic about assaulting her.

He’s really reshaping masculinity, isn’t he?

On X I saw several people commenting about this saying “he not only knocks women up, he knocks them down too!”

Sorry, but I had to quote that.
