Top United States media outlets are staying silent on an allegation of assault against Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris. In an explosive story published Wednesday, the Daily Mail reported that Emhoff had drunkenly and “forcefully slapped” his ex-girlfriend in 2012 at the Cannes Film Festival in France because he thought she was flirting with another man. Three friends confirmed the story to the Daily Mail, which did not identify Emhoff’s ex-girlfriend and only revealed that she is a “successful New York attorney.” The publication included a photo of the couple, with the woman’s face blurred out, as well as a travel itinerary and email showing details about their stay in Nice, France. The Daily Wire reached out to both the White House and the Harris campaign without response. An unnamed spokesman for Emhoff told Semafor that the report is “untrue” and that “any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.” The Daily Mail’s story broke Wednesday morning, yet as of Thursday afternoon, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and other top media outlets had not covered the matter at all. These outlets did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and their silence has prompted criticism from commentators like Megyn Kelly and Chris Cuomo, who suggest this shows a double standard.

Melania Trump is not” and “Emhoff shares how he first met Harris,” as well as the opinion pieces “Doug Emhoff, modern day sex symbol,” and “the ground-breaking normalcy of Doug Emhoff.” The New York Times has recently published pieces on Emhoff that include “The Rise of the Husband,” “Doug Emhoff, Poking Fun at Himself, Talks Up Kamala Harris,” and “Ella Emhoff Had A Busy new York Fashion Week,” a piece about his daughter. And CNN has similarly published flattering pieces on the second gentleman, such as “how Doug Emhoff is amplifying his wife’s historic presidential bid” and “Emhoff’s reaction to hostage murders underscores unique way he speaks for Harris.” Emhoff and the ex-girlfriend, whom the Daily Mail identified as “Jane,” reportedly met on a dating website and had been dating about three months before the alleged assault took place. Shortly before the trip, the Daily Mail reported, Emhoff allegedly revealed to “Jane” that he had an affair with his nanny while still married to his ex-wife (Emhoff admitted in August to impregnating his former nanny while cheating on his first wife). “Jane” viewed the tale as a “red flag,” a friend told the Daily Mail, but “the trip was booked.” The allegations about Emhoff come amid media suggestions that Emhoff embodies a positive form of masculinity, in contrast to Republican men: MSNBC host Jen Psaki sparked a backlash by telling Emhoff that he is reshaping perceptions of masculinity.

“Rust” will premiere three years after the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico film set — where a gun Alec Baldwin was holding discharged a bullet, leaving her dead and injuring writer-director Joel Souza. Baldwin’s indie western will have its world premiere at Poland’s Camerimage International Film Festival in late November, with Souza expected to appear along with cinematographer Bianca Cline, who stepped in to finish the film after a wrongful death lawsuit was settled in October 2022, the Hollywood Reporter reported.  However, sources with knowledge of the situation said that Baldwin, the star of the movie and lead producer, is not expected to be at the premiere. Organizers called Hutchins the “Ukrainian cinematographer who was part of the festival family,” and said it was always her dream to see the movie premiere at Camerimage, according to the festival. ‘Rust’ gets a premiere date — 3 years after tragedy struck set — but will Alec Baldwin be there? https://t.co/8lyo6YlGMw pic.twitter.com/a0xbd0aGC2 — New York Post (@nypost) October 3, 2024 “The filmmakers will discuss events surrounding the film, offering insight into continuing production after Halyna’s death,” Camerimage organizers said. “Maintaining Hutchins’ artistic vision, as tremendously challenging as it was for the entire crew, was really important to the filmmakers, hoping to fulfill their duty to complete her work.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “Halyna’s story will serve as a starting point for a conversation about the role of women in cinematography and their contributions to the art of filmmaking,” the statement added. “Another key topic of the discussion will be safety on set.” Speaking recently to Vanity Fair, Souza talked about the fatal shooting, returning to the film set, and finishing the film Hutchins was shooting, making it clear the fatal scene she had shot has vanished “in its entirety.” “Gone. Not just that, but also a few things leading up to it,” Souza said. “Everything needed to be entirely reconceived there. There were a few things that came before that now wouldn’t make story sense. So we just sort of eliminated it and came up with something entirely different.” “I’m not going back to that,” he added. “I’m glad you asked. I don’t want anyone who ever does see this to be waiting for that. No one ever pushed to keep anything like that.” The armorer in charge of weapons on set, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, was previously sentenced to 18 months in prison for her role in Hutchins’ death. Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter. He faced up to 18 months in prison. However, the charges were dismissed on the third day of his trial in July, with the judge ruling prosecution hid evidence from the defense. The Camerimage festival will take place Nov. 16-23 in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Toruń, Poland. Related: ‘Rust’ Filmmaker Breaks Silence Following Fatal Shooting, Talks Second Filming

Utah State University has become the fourth college to protect their women’s volleyball team from playing against San Jose State University with a trans-identifying male on the women’s team. On Wednesday, a statement from the school’s athletic department read, “Utah State University will not participate in its scheduled October 23, 2024, volleyball match at San Jose State University. The University will abide by Mountain West Conference policy regarding how this match is recorded.” Former collegiate swimmer and advocate for women’s sports Riley Gaines praised the move by the school and wrote that it was the “fourth school to forfeit their match against SJSU due to a man playing on the women’s volleyball team. Major kudos to @USUAthletics THIS. IS. THE. WAY.” A movement is in motion. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the NCAA has a decision to make. So far, the NCAA has prioritized inclusion over safety & fairness. Will the @NCAA keep letting girls take matters into their own hands or will they step up & protect their athletes? https://t.co/21VHlX5YF5 — Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) October 3, 2024 “A movement is in motion,” she added in a second post. “It’s becoming increasingly clear that the NCAA has a decision to make. So far, the NCAA has prioritized inclusion over safety & fairness. Will the @NCAA keep letting girls take matters into their own hands or will they step up & protect their athletes?” Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox wrote on X that he stood with “the students, coaches and leadership at @SUUtbirds and @USUAggies in their decision to forgo their women’s volleyball matches against San Jose State.” Am I Racist?

It’s time for the NCAA to take this seriously and protect our female student athletes.” On Monday, the women’s volleyball team at the University of Wyoming became the third school to refuse to play against SJSU because of the California school’s trans-identifying male on the women’s team, as previously reported. In a statement posted on X from Wyoming Cowgirl Volleyball, the team stated, “After a lengthy discussion, the University of Wyoming will not play its scheduled conference match against San José State University in the UniWyo Sports Complex on Saturday, Oct. 5.” “Per Mountain West Conference policy, the Conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming,” the statement added. “The Cowgirls will host Fresno State on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the UniWyo Sports Complex.” SJSU’s star volleyball player is a trans-identifying male who goes by the name of Blaire Fleming, OutKick’s David Hookstead previously reported. On Friday, the Boise women’s volleyball team announced that it would forfeit its match over the weekend against SJSU, OutKick noted.
