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.
...
But the three friends who spoke to the Daily Mail provided photos of Emhoff posing with the woman he allegedly 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.
The Vice President, then California's attorney general, started dating Emhoff in 2013, and then married him in August 2014.
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.

This is a tough one. The alleged victim didn't say anything, and the three women that claim to have seen it are refusing to put their names on it. Which makes no sense if they claim to have been on a trip with him at the time... he would know who it is.
If it happened at all, we don't know whether it was a joke slap or real. And it seems pretty stupid for a "successful entertainment lawyer" to assault someone in public.
Until more information comes out, we just don't know...
