Doug Emhoff, the Second Gentleman and husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, is facing serious allegations of domestic abuse and misconduct. According to multiple reports, Emhoff is accused of physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend in 2012, an incident that allegedly took place at the May 24 Cannes Film Festival amFAR gala. Friends of the ex-girlfriend claim that Emhoff struck her in the face so hard that she spun around. Additionally, Emhoff is accused of having an affair with his child's nanny, Najen Naylor, during his first marriage, resulting in a pregnancy and subsequent abortion. These allegations come in stark contrast to recent praise from MSNBC host Jen Psaki, who lauded Emhoff for 'reshaping masculinity.' The revelations have sparked widespread criticism, with many questioning the narrative of Emhoff as a role model for modern masculinity.
