A shocking report has recently surfaced regarding Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff that highlights his alleged “dark side.” A woman has recently come forward claiming to have dated Emhoff in the past, recounting an experience in 2012 where she was slapped so hard in the face that it made her “spin” around.
The anonymous woman, who is reportedly a successful lawyer in New York, claimed she was disgusted by the way the media has portrayed Emhoff as a man who is a great husband and avid supporter of women’s rights. “What’s frightening for a woman that’s been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed,” the woman, who was referred to as “Jane”, told the Daily Mail.
“He’s being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking,” she added. “Every time I see Doug on TV portraying the persona of a perfect spouse and non-toxic man, I wonder if Najen is watching too and feeling as disgusted as I am,” Jane continued.
The incident reportedly occurred as the two traveled to the amfAR gala at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Jane claimed that she had approached the valet, attempting to offer a $100 tip if she and Emhoff could skip the line and get to a car soon. As Jane was speaking with the valet, Emhoff allegedly walked up and slapped her across the face.
“As I’m talking to [the valet], Doug got out of the line, comes up, turns me around by my right shoulder. I’m completely caught off guard, I’m not bracing, I’m in four inch heels, wearing a full-length gown and it’s between 2-3 am,” she said, recounting the horrifying incident. “He slaps me so hard I spin around, and I’m in utter shock.”
The alleged assault was unprovoked according to Jane, as there had been no confrontation leading up to it. “There had been no fight, no argument. It had been a completely fantastic event. I am so furious. The only thing I could think to do was slap him back. I slapped him on one side, and on the other cheek with the other hand,” she continued. “In that moment, his mask had dropped and I saw his dark side,” she said.
Jane believes that Emhoff assumed she was flirting with the valet, prompting the spin-inducing slap. “I can’t believe he just slapped me. I think I said to him in the car, ‘What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you do that?’ And the only thing I could get out of him was he thought I was hitting on the valet,” she recalled.
However, Jane claims that she was able to move on from Emhoff after the violent episode. “It was very hurtful at the time. But I am proud of how I responded in real time to this unexpected assault,” she said. Emhoff has denied that story as being false where a spokesman on his behalf claimed, “The report is untrue.” The spokesman maintained, “Any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.”
