Doug Emhoff Spokesman Denies Second Gentleman Assaulted His Ex-Girlfriend

A spokesman for second gentleman Doug Emhoff reportedly denied Thursday that he assaulted his ex-girlfriend or any other woman.

Semafor reported in its Thursday newsletter that an unnamed spokesman denied the Daily Mail’s explosive report that Emhoff had drunkenly and “forcefully slapped” his ex-girlfriend in 2012 at the Cannes Film Festival in France because he thought she was flirting with another man.

The spokesman told Semafor that the Daily Mail’s report is “untrue” and that “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.”

Neither the Harris campaign nor the White House has responded to The Daily Wire’s press inquiries on the matter. Emhoff is scheduled to speak at multiple campaign events on Friday and Saturday, according to Thursday press releases from the Harris campaign.

The Daily Mail based its reporting on the stories of three different friends who said that Emhoff’s ex-girlfriend, whom the publication identified only as “Jane,” told them about the alleged incident shortly afterward.

“Jane” is a “successful New York attorney” who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of Emhoff, the publication reported. She reportedly met Emhoff on a dating website and had been going out with him about three months before the alleged assault took place.

The Daily Mail also included documentation showing that Emhoff and the woman were a couple: a photo of the couple, with the woman’s face blurred out, as well as their travel itinerary and email showing details about their 2012 stay in Nice, France.

The publication also first reported in early August that Emhoff’s first marriage ended because he cheated on his ex-wife, Kerstin Emhoff, with his children’s nanny — whom he impregnated. In their Wednesday story on the assault allegation against Emhoff, the Daily Mail also cited a source claiming that Emhoff allegedly settled with the nanny for about $80,000, and had her sign an NDA.
