Doug Emhoff Accused of Assaulting Ex-Girlfriend

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, faces serious allegations of assaulting an ex-girlfriend, identified only as 'Jane', during a May 2012 incident at the Cannes Film Festival. Reports from three friends of Jane claim that Emhoff struck her in the face after mistaking her interaction with a valet as flirting. The friends recounted that Jane was visibly upset and called them in tears immediately following the incident. Emhoff has not been charged with any crime related to this altercation and has denied the allegations. The incident raises questions about Emhoff's public persona as an advocate for women's rights amid his reported past infidelity. These revelations come at a politically sensitive time for the Harris campaign as voters prepare for the upcoming election.
