A prominent New York attorney's account of her relationship with Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff reveals troubling allegations about his past behavior. The woman, who remains anonymous for privacy concerns, has come forward with detailed claims about their brief relationship in 2012.

According to Daily Mail, the attorney, identified only as "Jane," alleges that Emhoff slapped her so forcefully during a celebrity event in France that she physically spun around.

The incident reportedly occurred outside the Hotel du Cap in Antibes during the early hours following an amfAR gala dinner.

Jane's decision to speak publicly came after Emhoff's denial of the allegations through a spokesperson. The incident adds to previous revelations about Emhoff's past, including an admitted affair with his daughter's nanny while married to his first wife, Kerstin.

Former Girlfriend Details Relationship Development With Second Gentleman

The relationship between Jane and Emhoff began on Match.com in March 2012, before his marriage to Vice President Kamala Harris. Their first date took an unusual turn when Emhoff invited his son Cole to join them after an hour.

During their brief but intense relationship, Emhoff allegedly discussed marriage and having children with Jane within weeks of meeting. She recalls him flying her to Los Angeles in April 2012, where she stayed at his home for a week.

The relationship dynamic shifted when Jane received a job opportunity in the UK. According to her account, Emhoff expressed willingness to relocate despite having family commitments in Los Angeles.

Alleged Violence Emerges During High-Profile French Event

Jane shares that the violent incident occurred around 3 AM when they were waiting for transportation outside the Hotel du Cap. After she attempted to expedite their taxi service by offering money to a valet, Emhoff allegedly became enraged.

According to Jane's account to Daily Mail, she states:

What's frightening for a woman that's been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed. He's being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking.

The aftermath of the incident revealed concerning behavior patterns, with Emhoff allegedly showing no remorse and making light of the situation with tennis metaphors.

Prior Controversies Surface Through New Revelations

The story connects to earlier controversies involving Emhoff, including his admitted affair with Najen Naylor, his daughter's former teacher and part-time nanny. Police records show officers responded to Naylor's residence in June 2009, though specific details remain undisclosed.

Jane reveals that Emhoff disclosed the affair to her during their relationship, including allegations about a pregnancy and subsequent settlement with Naylor for approximately $80,000, accompanied by a non-disclosure agreement.

Former colleagues at Venable law firm have also come forward with claims about Emhoff's workplace behavior, describing it as "misogynistic" and "inappropriate" toward women.

Truth Behind Public Persona Questioned

The revelations stand in stark contrast to Emhoff's current public image as a supportive spouse and advocate for women's rights. His recent media appearances and interviews have portrayed him as a champion of feminist values.

Jane expresses particular concern about this dichotomy between public persona and private behavior. Her decision to come forward was largely motivated by what she perceives as hypocrisy in Emhoff's current public role and statements.
