The report quoting a New York attorney claimed that Kamala Harris’s husband, Douglas Emhoff, had struck the woman in the face while waiting in a valet line in 2012.
Months after US Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Douglas Emhoff, admitted to an extra-marital affair during his first marriage, a report has now claimed that he allegedly slapped his ex-girlfriend for “flirting” with a valet worker.
A British tabloid reported Wednesday that Second Gentleman allegedly struck the woman, a New York attorney, in the face while waiting in a valet line late at night after the Cannes Film Festival event in France back in May 2012.
The report, citing the woman’s friends, said the woman had been dating Emhoff, a lawyer, three months after the incident.
Earlier in August, the 59-year-old Emhoff confirmed that he had an affair while first married to Kerstin after alleged details of the relationship went public via a British tabloid.
During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions.
I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side,” Emhoff said in a statement provided exclusively to CNN.
