Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband is being accused of slapping his ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man at a ritzy gala in 2012, a new report claims.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, supposedly struck his then-girlfriend — 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, three unnamed friends of the woman reportedly told the Daily Mail.
The woman – who was not identified — allegedly called one of the friends sobbing in her cab immediately after the incident, the outlet said.

A third acquaintance alleged that Jane told her about what happened in 2018, when then-Senator Harris was in the news for grilling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over sexual assault allegations, according to the Mail.
All three sources requested not to be named due to fear of retaliation from Emhoff, the Daily Mail said.
They shared a series of photos showing Emhoff posing with the woman in 2012, as well as other documents that the Daily Mail claimed corroborated some of the details of the incident.
