Allegations of misconduct have surfaced concerning Doug Emhoff, following claims made by a former girlfriend about their short relationship.
Severe Allegations Emerge
A former girlfriend of Doug Emhoff, a lawyer from New York, has come forward with accusations challenging the public perception of Kamala Harris’ spouse. She alleges that Emhoff slapped her during an event in France back in 2012, portraying their relationship as controlling and tainted by infidelity. These claims have raised questions about the alignment of Emhoff’s public and private behaviors.
Emhoff has vehemently denied these accusations through a spokesperson, claiming he has never physically harmed a woman. However, Emhoff has yet to issue a direct statement addressing these allegations. Additionally, the ex-girlfriend asserts that Emhoff engaged in a relationship with his children’s teacher, who allegedly suffered a miscarriage due to the stress induced by Emhoff.

Public Response and Further Allegations
The public reaction to these allegations has been varied given Emhoff’s prominent position. The ex-girlfriend expressed a sense of urgency in sharing her story, feeling misrepresented by Emhoff’s public image. She highlighted Emhoff’s discussions about marriage and children early in their intense relationship.
“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 ex-girlfriend of Doug Emhoff –
The ex-girlfriend claimed that Emhoff reached a settlement of $80,000 with the teacher, subject to a non-disclosure agreement. She has criticized the lack of media attention surrounding her allegations, asserting that her motives are not politically driven as she identifies as a registered Democrat.

Media Coverage Concerns
The attorney has expressed disappointment over the lack of formal responses and media interest in her story. Despite her efforts to be heard, she fears that the mainstream media has overlooked these serious allegations. She emphasizes the importance of accurately portraying Emhoff to reflect her personal experiences.
“What’s frightening for a woman that’s been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed. He’s being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking.” – The ex-girlfriend of Doug Emhoff –
