Daily Mail which reported that Kamala Harris' husband Doug Emhoff slapped his girlfriend in 2012 -- a claim that his office outrightly denied -- has now come up with a fresh claim that Doug was "inappropriate" and "misogynistic" at work. The report cited his former colleagues as said that "he used to yell expletives, held men-only cocktail hour in the office, revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him, and took only young, attractive associates in a limousine to a ball".
The report then cited a 2019 lawsuit claiming sex discrimination by other partners in the LA office Doug Emhoff ran. Doug, the report alleged, hired an "unqualified" part-time model as a legal secretary because "she was young, attractive and friendly with the powerful men in the office."
Doug Emhoff or his office did not react to these latest claim that surface as the second gentleman has been praised as the 'wife guy' supporting Kamala Harris' presidential race joyfully and wholeheartedly. He said he was always like this and got these traits from his father.
But the claim about his slapping incident in 2012 was a shocking revelation. Daily Mail quoted his then-girlfriend's close friends to corroborate the claim and stuck to its position that its report was true.
For the new claim, the report cited Doug Emhoff's former colleagues from the Venable Los Angeles Office that he ran from 2006 to 2017 who reportedly claimed that Doug was an 'a**hole' and his behavior was "inappropriate".
"One senior former staffer claimed Emhoff 'bragged' about yelling 'get the f*** out of my office' to a female partner at the firm, later telling his top male colleagues that he had 'put her in her place'," the report said.
"There were deadlines that, if you were one of his favorite people, wouldn't apply. But if you weren't, they would," another former colleague said to Daily Mail.
Doug Emhoff and his first wife Kerstin parted ways after Doug cheated on her with the nanny of their children -- Ella and Cole. He also reportedly forced the nanny to abort.
