An ex-girlfriend who Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff allegedly slapped in a fit of jealousy broke her silence on the matter Thursday.
Emhoff’s ex-girlfriend, who asked the Daily Mail to use the alias “Jane,” confirmed allegations from three friends that Vice President Kamala Harris’ now-husband “slapped [her] so hard [she] spun around” during a celebrity event in 2012.
“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.

Jane told the outlet she and Emhoff, whom she started dating in March 2012, took a “fairytale” trip to the amfAR gala dinner south of France on May 24, 2009. A long taxi line outside the Hotel du Cap around 3 a.m. prompted Jane to try to pay a valet $100 to let her and Emhoff skip the line — but she alleged a drunken Emhoff reacted violently when he incorrectly assumed she was flirting with another man.
“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 2-3 a.m.,” Jane said.
“He slaps me so hard I spin around, and I’m in utter shock,” she alleged. “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,” Emhoff’s ex-girlfriend alleged, later adding that Emhoff said they were “even” the day after.
Jane said Emhoff confided in her in April 2012 that the nanny he had an extramarital affair with and impregnated before his 2009 divorce filing, Najen Naylor, accused him of causing her to miscarry their baby. She said Emhoff’s admission made her rethink their relationship, according to the outlet. (RELATED: From #MeToo To #NotYou: Where Are All The Feminist Celebrities On Emhoff?)

“All I did was ask him one question, and he told me the whole story,” Jane told the Daily Mail. “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.”
Jane told the outlet Emhoff admitted to yelling at Naylor but did not say whether he struck her, according to the outlet. She said Emhoff told her in a matter-of-fact manner that he “got really angry” at his then-pregnant mistress, who threatened a lawsuit over accusations that he caused her miscarriage.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) records obtained by the Daily Mail show that police were called to the house where Naylor lived at 8:14 p.m. on June, 28, 2009. The call was deemed a priority level three, a “life threatening emergency, lights and sirens on.”

Emhoff’s accuser told the outlet she was initially hesitant on speaking out publicly and has been telling the same story years before the vice president’s husband became famous.
“He’s being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking,” she added.

None of the female celebrities supporting Harris have spoken out against Emhoff’s alleged misconduct — a stark departure from 2016’s #MeToo movement. Popular singers including Taylor Swift, Pink and Ariana Grande and Hollywood icons such as Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Lopez continue to advocate for Harris despite her husband’s alleged misdeeds.
While ignoring Emhoff’s accusations, many female celebrities, including Olivia Rodrigo, Jennifer Lawrence and Billie Eilish, exert their feminist energy toward promoting Harris’s pro-abortion agenda.
