Kamala Harris' husband Doug Emhoff slapped me in the face so hard I spun around ... I'm disgusted by his fake 'perfect spouse' persona

Doug Emhoff's ex-girlfriend has spoken exclusively to DailyMail.com claiming 
that he slapped her in the face so hard she spun around at a 2012 celebrity 
event in France.

The woman, a successful New York attorney, is remaining anonymous, but 
decided to speak out after Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, denied the claims 
through a spokesman.

Emhoff's accuser, who DailyMail.com is naming only as 'Jane', initially 
declined to comment on the record. But Emhoff's denial, and his alleged 
hypocrisy by claiming to be a feminist in media interviews, finally became 
too much for her.

'What's frightening for a woman that's been on the other end of it, is 
watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed,' Jane said.

'He's being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is 
utterly shocking.'

DailyMail.com broke the story about the alleged unprovoked attack on October 
2, by reporting accounts from two friends she told immediately after the 
incident, a third she told in 2018, and documents evidencing her relationship 
and trip to France with Emhoff.

The bombshell allegations, which followed DailyMail.com's revelation in 
August that Emhoff cheated on his first wife with his daughter's nanny Najen 
Naylor, received little or no coverage from politically center-left major 
news outlets.

Emhoff admitted the affair in a statement in August but his spokesman gave 
only a short denial of the alleged violence to a politics news site a day 
after we exclusively reported the slap allegation.

In a statement to Semafor published October 3, a spokesperson said 'this 
report is untrue,' and that 'any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a 
woman is false.'

Emhoff, the Harris campaign, and the White House have failed to respond to 
DailyMail.com and other outlets' repeated requests for comment.

But the second gentleman has since continued to brag about his long-held 
feminist values in softball media interviews arranged by the Harris 
presidential campaign.  

'Every time I see Doug on TV portraying the persona of a perfect spouse and 
non-toxic man, I wonder if Najen is watching too and feeling as disgusted as 
I am,' Jane said.

Last week, 'Jane' recounted her story to DailyMail.com – including that 
Emhoff 'slapped me so hard I spun around,' and that Emhoff told her he was 
accused by his mistress of causing her to miscarry their baby. 

DailyMail.com exclusively broke the story in October about the alleged 
unprovoked attack in 2012, by reporting accounts from two friends 'Jane' had 
told immediately after the incident

The denial by the second gentleman and his alleged hypocrisy by claiming to 
be a feminist in media interviews convinced the woman to speak out

DailyMail.com has reported that Emhoff impregnated the family's nanny while 
married to his first wife, allegedly slapped an ex-girlfriend at the Cannes 
Film Festival and was 'inappropriate' and 'misogynistic' at work 

Emhoff and Jane got together in 2012 before he met Harris, who he married in 
2014.

'I was living in New York, and Doug was living in Los Angeles,' Jane said. 'I 
met him on Match.com. 

'After work one night I met him for drinks at a hotel near Times Square.'

She said Emhoff's odd behavior began immediately, when he invited his son 
Cole to join them about an hour into their first date in March 2012.

'It was an odd request for a first date, but I also felt bad that his son was 
walking around the city waiting for his dad to finish his Match.com date. So 
I agreed. In retrospect, it should have been a red flag.'

Jane said their relationship consisted of 'an intense few months', with 
Emhoff discussing marriage and children after just weeks.

'He flew me to Los Angeles in April [2012]. I stayed in his home for a week. 
The entire time, he was alluding to marriage and having children with me,' 
she told DailyMail.com.

'He was totally love-bombing me. He grabbed me round the stomach and talked 
about wanting more babies.'

Jane said that less than a month into her relationship she got a lucrative 
job opportunity in the UK, and Emhoff gave her the impression he was willing 
to leave his family behind.

'He was really pushing me to pursue it, and he seemed like he was willing to 
come with me to London,' she said. 'He was ready to uproot, even though he 
had a family, and he had a child still in junior high school.'

Emhoff has been previously dubbed by Democrats as a 'wife guy' and a 
'mensch', a Yiddish term for an honorable, kind man. 'He's being held out to 
be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking,' Jane 
said

layover flight from Newark, New Jersey to Nice, France on May 22, 2012

Emhoff's first wife and mother of his two kids, Kerstin, had filed to end 
their marriage three years earlier in June 2009, after splitting with him the 
month before, according to LA court documents.

But Jane said she got the impression Emhoff still felt a debt to his ex, and 
decided to  ask him about it during her LA trip in April 2012.

'We were in Santa Monica. He was driving his fancy car. And so I just 
straight out asked him: 'I feel like you're on the back foot in the divorce, 
like you're trying to make up for something?' she said.

'All I did was ask him one question, and he told me the whole story. Without 
skipping a beat, and staring straight ahead at the road, he tells me he had 
an affair with his daughter's teacher and that subsequently she claimed that 
she was pregnant. He's telling me this very casually like it's no big deal.

'He yelled at her. He never said he hit her, but he said he got really angry 
with her, and she subsequently claimed that whatever he did caused her to 
lose the pregnancy.

'He said she got a lawyer and was threatening litigation. I was 
flabbergasted. And I was taken aback by how matter of fact he could talk 
about it.

'He tried to minimize it. He said there was no proof that the woman had 
become pregnant. He tried to make it seem like she was scamming him. 

'To be honest, I wanted to believe him at the time, because by all 
appearances this was turning into a serious relationship.

'I had just met both his children, his parents and many people he worked with 
at Venable. But I did harbor reservations after this.'

The bombshell allegation of the slap followed DailyMail.com's revelation in 
August that Emhoff cheated on his first wife Kerstin (right) with his 
daughter's nanny Najen Naylor. The story about the slap received little or no 
coverage from politically center-left major news outlets

'Every time I see Doug on TV portraying the persona of a perfect spouse and 
non-toxic man, I wonder if Najen is watching too and feeling as disgusted as 
I am,' Jane said. When DailyMail.com approached Naylor she would not comment 
about her relationship with Emhoff or the baby. 'I'm kind of freaked out 
right now,' she said

LAPD records obtained by DailyMail.com show that police were called to a 
house where Naylor was living around the time she was allegedly pregnant in 
2009 

Jane added that Emhoff told her he settled with Naylor for about $80,000, and 
had her sign an NDA.

Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) records obtained by DailyMail.com under 
the California Public Records Act show that police were called to a house 
where Naylor was living around the time she was allegedly pregnant, at 8:14pm 
on June 28, 2009.

The callout was given priority level three, which is a 'life threatening 
emergency, lights and sirens on'.

LAPD refused to give further information or the names of the individuals 
involved in the incident, and Najen declined to comment.

Hours after DailyMail.com published a story on August 3 revealing claims that 
Emhoff impregnated his daughter's grade school teacher and part-time nanny, 
the second gentleman gave a statement to CNN admitting the affair, but not 
mentioning any pregnancy, miscarriage, or legal agreement.

Jane said Emhoff's alleged disclosure to her in April 2012 about his affair 
gave her pause about their relationship.

But she had already booked tickets for the two of them to attend the star-
studded amfAR gala dinner in the south of France the following month, held 
alongside Cannes Film Festival.

'I had already planned and paid to go to this event, and he was already 
invited, so I went ahead and brought him,' she said.

She described the trip as a 'fairytale' at first. She mingled with A-list 
celebrities at the May 24 event, dressed in a red ball gown with Emhoff in a 
dapper tuxedo.

But she said it turned into a nightmare at around 3am when they joined a long 
and chaotic line for a taxi outside the Hotel du Cap event venue in Antibes 
to return to their lodgings in a neighboring town.

'I decided I'm going to go up to the valet and give them 100 bucks, to get 
out of this line,' Jane said.

A May 17, 2012 email provided by the friends, written by Jane to one of her 
fellow amfAR attendees, gives the location of the hotel in Nice the couple 
stayed at that weekend

The elite charity auction was held at the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc in Antibes, 
southern France 

The alleged incident purportedly took place after the two attended amfAR's 
Cinema Against AIDS event at Hotel Du Cap in the South of France in May 2012, 
where model Heidi Klum and now-disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein were 
among the guests

'I put my hand on the valet's shoulder and tell him, with my $100, could you 
please get me a car as soon as possible.

'As I'm talking to him, Doug got out of the line, comes up, turns me around 
by my right shoulder. I'm completely caught off guard, I'm not bracing, I'm 
in four inch heels, wearing a full-length gown and it's between 2-3am.

'He slaps me so hard I spin around, and I'm in utter shock.

'There had been no fight, no argument. It had been a completely fantastic 
event. I am so furious. The only thing I could think to do was slap him back. 
I slapped him on one side, and on the other cheek with the other hand.

'In that moment, his mask had dropped and I saw his dark side,' she added.

'All of a sudden the car is there, the valet is ushering me in.

'I intended to go back to the hotel without him. So I was shutting the car 
door, but he forced his way into the car, which I did not want.

'It's dark. I don't speak French, my friends we're with are off having an 
amazing time. I'm embarrassed and humiliated that, this amazing experience 
turned into this violent spectacle.

'I can't believe he just slapped me. I think I said to him in the car, 'What 
the hell is wrong with you? Why did you do that?' And the only thing I could 
get out of him was he thought I was hitting on the valet.'

Jane said she called a businessman friend in New York from the cab to tell 
him what just happened. The friend confirmed the call to DailyMail.com.

'This was the first time I saw Doug's ugly side,' Jane said. 'I was in shock. 
I wanted somebody to know where I was, and what happened. I was freaked out 
because I thought I knew this person. But I don't, and he's in the car with 
me.

'I also wanted Doug to see me on the phone telling somebody.'

Jane said that less than a month into her relationship she got a lucrative 
job opportunity in the UK, and Emhoff gave her the impression he was willing 
to leave his family behind. 'He was really pushing me to pursue it, and he 
seemed like he was willing to come with me to London,' she said

Jane said the next day Emhoff was unapologetic, telling her in a casual 
manner that they were 'even' and referencing her returned slaps using a 
tennis metaphor: 'Don't worry about it, you got one across the court and down 
the line.'

The New York attorney told DailyMail.com that after the shocking alleged 
attack, she began to see past behavior by Emhoff in a new light.

As well as questioning his alleged version of his affair with Naylor, she 
also recalled a 'weird' incident at their hotel in Nice before the amfAR 
dinner.

'We went outside and sat on the loungers,' Jane said. 'I'm in a bikini. He 
wanted to take a picture of me. I didn't think anything of it.

'Later on he sent me a couple of pictures. The picture he took of me did not 
include my head. I was like, 'Where's my head?' And he was just giggling 
about it like a pubescent boy.

'It was gross and I felt so humiliated. In retrospect I believe he was 
intentionally objectifying me to diminish me. That's the kind of person he 
is.'

Earlier this month, DailyMail.com revealed claims from Emhoff's former 
colleagues at his ex-law firm Venable that he was 'misogynistic' and 
'inappropriate' with women at the firm, including bragging to top firm 
partners that he yelled at a woman and 'put her in her place'.

Jane said that the alleged behavior fit with the Emhoff that she knew – but 
not the one that he presents in media interviews.

She said that the week after the slapping incident, she told a friend who 
worked with Emhoff at Venable about it, and the woman responded that Emhoff 
had a 'bad reputation' with women in the law firm's LA office. 

When Jane read Emhoff was dating then-California Attorney General Kamala 
Harris in 2014, the memory of the slap 'all came flooding back'

Emhoff recently sat down for a fawning interview with Jen Psaki during which 
the former White House Press Secretary told the second gentleman that he had 
'reshaped the perception of masculinity'

Jane said that long ago she moved on emotionally from Emhoff's alleged 
violent attack, and she doesn't want to be seen as a 'victim'. 

'It was very hurtful at the time. But I am proud of how I responded in real 
time to this unexpected assault,' the attorney said.

'I had never really wanted to talk about Doug slapping me, to be honest with 
you, because I was with him for a few months, it was this one moment. And it 
was enough to wake me up and leave.

'In retrospect, it was the best thing that could possibly have happened, 
because his mask dropped, and I realized I shouldn't waste another moment 
with him.'

The two never spoke after the French trip, Jane said, save for two texts 
where she requested he paid her money he owed, and he requested a suit he 
left behind - which she promptly threw in the trash.

But when she read Emhoff was dating then-California Attorney General Kamala 
Harris in 2014, it all came flooding back.

'I just got this sinking feeling, like, oh my god, she's engaged to this guy. 
My first thought was she clearly has not done due diligence on him. And I 
thought, he's putting the hard sell on her, like he did with me.

'I was wondering, does she know?'

Jane said she felt compelled to tell her best friend, a female top executive, 
her story about Emhoff in 2018 after they watched Harris grill Supreme Court 
Justice Brett Kavanaugh about alleged sexual assault in his 2018 confirmation 
hearing.

The friend recounted to DailyMail.com the same story Jane told.

DailyMail.com also obtained a copy of Jane and Emoff's flight itinerary to 
France, an email to a friend and fellow attendee at the 2012 amfAR gala 
mentioning Emhoff's attendance, and pictures of the former couple with 
metadata showing the date and location of the photo.

Emhoff, 59, and movie producer ex-wife Kerstin, 57, ended their 16-year 
marriage in 2009 when she discovered the affair, the sources said. Their 
daughter Ella was 10 and son Cole was 15 at the time

thousands of dollars to Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign. DailyMail.com 
redacted the page to preserve Jane's anonymity

Footage obtained by DailyMail.com from the red carpet at the event shows 
Emhoff walking in the background.

The material helped confirm key aspects of Jane's story.

Jane dismissed any claims that her allegations against Emhoff were 
politically motivated, adding that she and her husband have been registered 
Democrats, voted for Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential primary and 
2020 election, and donated over $10,000 to Biden's campaigns.

DailyMail.com obtained Federal Election Commission records evidencing the 
donations, and voter registrations showing the couple's previous registration 
as Democrats.

'I've recounted the same story for years, and I've been telling this story 
before he became famous,' she said.

Jane added that after reading DailyMail.com's story about Emhoff's affair 
with his daughter's nanny, she felt 'validated' – but also angry at a 
lackluster response among some mainstream media.

'I've been telling this story to my friends. And I kept saying, this is a big 
deal, why doesn't anybody in the media care? And apparently nobody did,' she 
said.

'Not a single reporter has 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 livid. It's just so 
clear what's happening. I'm so disgusted.'

Jane said she hopes coming forward now, albeit anonymously, will help set the 
record straight, and prompt a thorough investigation of the POTUS hopeful's 
husband.
