“This report is untrue,” an Emhoff spokesperson told Semafor, adding that “any suggestion that he would or ever hit a woman is false.”

The Daily Mail reported Wednesday, citing three friends of the unidentified woman, that Emhoff smacked his then-lover so hard in the face that she was “spun around” after an event at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in France.

One of the woman’s friends told the outlet that she called him “sobbing” after the attack.

“It was very clear what she was telling me. She said she was with a guy, her date, she was at the Cannes Film Festival, and he hit her. She was in the car with the guy at the time.”

“I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know whether to call the French police. I couldn’t get ahold of her after calling back.”

Per Breitbart:

Kamala Harris’s husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, denied allegations on Thursday that he “forcefully slapped” his then-girlfriend “for flirting with another man” in 2012.

The denial comes as Harris seeks the presidency in a tight race and is performing poorly among men, who appear to view her as an opponent of masculinity.
“This report is untrue,” and “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false,” Emhoff’s spokesperson told Semafor’s Max Tani.

Breitbart News’s John Nolte outlined the original allegations first reported by the Daily Mail:

Three friends of the alleged victim, whom the Daily Mail only identifies with the pseudonym “Jane,” have come forward alleging Emhoff “struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around.” According to the report, Jane and Emhoff, who would’ve been 47 years old at the time, were “waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France.”

According to one of Jane’s three friends, who have all chosen to remain anonymous fearing retaliation (we’ve all seen what the corporate media do to people who hurt the Democrat party politically), the assault allegedly happened at around 3 a.m. after they had both been drinking. There was a long line to get a taxi, so Jane “went up to one of the valet guys, offered him 100 Euros or whatever, to get to the head of the line.”
