/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband will be working for a high-powered corporate law firm after making connections with world leaders, according to a press release.

Former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will return to practicing law at the firm of Willkie, Farr and Gallagher after his wife’s November election loss to President Donald Trump. Emhoff, who previously worked at DLA Piper, is listed as a partner based in Los Angeles, according to the firm’s website.

Emhoff’s tenure as second gentleman “got him in touch with very important leaders across the globe,” Thomas M. Cerabino, a co-chairman at the law firm, told the New York Times. “We think that Doug, as a trusted adviser as well as a lawyer, is going to create opportunities that will be an incredible boost across all fronts.”

“Doug is trusted by business leaders around the world who have counted on him over the years as an advisor and counselor as they have navigated some of the most complex and dynamic challenges in high-stakes situations,” Matthew Feldman, another top attorney at the firm, said in Monday’s release. “His deep knowledge of global markets, policy and the law will be an invaluable resource to our firm’s teams and our clients.” (Read more from “Kamala Harris’ Husband Has Found His Next Gig” HERE)

AOC Gushes Over Doug Emhoff as Ideal Man Brimming With ‘Masculinity’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) gushed over Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff on Wednesday night applauding him as the very model of modern masculinity at a campaign event for his wife Kamala Harris.

“He’s not afraid to embody and pass on these values of security and this idea that you can, you can let your girl shine,” Ocasio-Cortez told a room full of students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, according to the Daily Mail.

“And he embodies that really well. We should all be really, really proud of him.” She told students the example Emhoff has set “has been incredibly important this presidential cycle.”

Ocasio-Cortez continued, “A lot of ideas of what being a man means putting a woman down or putting queer people down. And this idea that, like, in order to elevate one’s value, we need to diminish the people around us.”

Public praise of Emhoff as an example of secure masculinity came less than a week after a purported ex-girlfriend identified only as Jane came forward and said he slapped her at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival after believing she was flirty with a valet, as Breitbart News reported.

Second Gentleman Emhoff Denies He Slapped Ex-Girlfriend

/1 Comment/in , /by

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has denied a shocking report that he slapped his then-girlfriend more than a decade ago after thinking she was flirting with another man.

“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.”

The friend said Emhoff may have thought his girlfriend was flirting with a valet employee after she put her hand on his shoulder following a night of drinking. (Read more from “Second Gentleman Emhoff Denies He Slapped Ex-Girlfriend” HERE)
