Doug Emhoff Faces Allegations of Past Abuse and Misconduct
Reports of domestic violence and workplace misconduct against Doug Emhoff have surfaced, sparking criticism over media silence.
- Doug Emhoff, husband of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, is accused of slapping a former girlfriend at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
- Three anonymous witnesses, friends of the alleged victim, have supported the claim, but Emhoff's representative denies the allegations.
- Emhoff is also accused of inappropriate behavior and misogyny at his former Los Angeles law firm, where he allegedly favored male employees and excluded women from certain events.
- Critics, including former President Donald Trump, have condemned the lack of media coverage, comparing it to the intense scrutiny faced by Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation.
- Domestic violence prevention groups and media figures who previously praised Emhoff's model of masculinity have remained largely silent on the allegations.
