(DCNF)—A CNN panel got into a heated debate Tuesday as the network’s senior political commentator Scott Jennings brought up second gentleman Doug Emhoff’s alleged mistreatment of women.

The panel discussed rapper Eminem’s harsh criticisms of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s during a rally in Detroit, Michigan, alongside former President Barack Obama. Jennings said that Eminem has said derogatory words about women and even allegedly promoted domestic violence, but yet the public continues to chastise Trump for his alleged treatment of women.

“I think this Eminem thing, I got to tell you. So everything that’s said about Donald Trump and his treatment of women and the gender gap in this campaign. This rapper, who I fully admit has sold a lot of records, if you’ve read some of the things he has said about the promotion of domestic violence against women,” Jennings said, leading commentator Bakari Sellers to interrupt. “No, no, Bakari, I listened to your entire filibuster, if you could just give me 13 seconds.”

Jennings then pointed to the allegations against Emhoff, who has been accused of slapping his ex-girlfriend, making “misogynistic” and “sexist” remarks to his former female staffers and of impregnating his nanny while married to his first wife, Kirsten. Sellers then interrupted Jennings to call his statements “B.S.,” while CNN host Abby Phillips falsely said Trump had been found liable of rape.

“So when you think about the things [Eminem] has said in order to sell those records, and you also consider some of the questions that are swirling around Harris’ own husband in this regard,” Jennings said, before being interrupted once again.

“Oh my god,” Sellers said. “Okay, you don’t even get 12 seconds. I’m not gonna let you go into the far end of B.S.”

“We’re gonna stop here for a second,” Phillips said. “Alright, but Scott, I just have to say, I’ll take those concerns seriously if you also express concerns about the allegations [against Trump]. He’s been found liable of rape, Donald Trump has. So that’s also true, so we’re not going to litigate those other things, but you can’t just pick and choose.”

Phillips referred to the case against Trump brought forth by former Elle Magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll in 2023, who alleged that the former president raped her in 1995 or 1996 in a dressing room at Manhattan’s Bergdorf Goodman department store. The jury in the case found Trump not liable of rape, but liable of defamation and sexual assault.

Emhoff admitted to having an affair with his children’s nanny while still married to Kirsten Emhoff, prompting his then-wife to end their 16-year marriage when she learned about the infidelity in 2009, according to the Daily Mail.

The second gentleman’s former colleagues alleged that he would make “inappropriate” and “misogynistic” remarks toward the women staffers at Venable’s Los Angeles Office, a law firm that he managed from 2006 to 2017, according to the Daily Mail. He allegedly would be flirty with the “young, pretty girls” and shout expletives at his staff.

Emhoff has also been accused of slapping his ex-girlfriend during an alcohol-fueled fight over whether she had flirted with another guy after a Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) charity event.

The second gentleman said all of these allegations coming to light are “all a distraction” by his political opponents during an Oct. 11 interview with MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.

He was asked about the claims during an interview.

And he did not deny them.

It is the Daily Mail that now has updated its reporting on the man, who if Kamala Harris is elected, would be in the White House for four years.

It reported, “Doug Emhoff has dismissed bombshell stories that he slapped his ex-girlfriend and had an affair during his first marriage as a ‘distraction,’ but didn’t deny them. … Emhoff was asked by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Friday whether the allegations about his personal life ‘p—–‘ him off. The Morning Joe host didn’t question him over the details or ask whether DailyMail.com reports about his past were true. Scarborough even reduced them to being ‘tabloid’ stories being pushed by Donald Trump and Republican critics. But Emhoff avoided the chance to slap them down and instead brushed them off while he insisting he was focused on his wife’s presidential campaign.”

The results of the Daily Mail’s investigations already have been reported.

Those include that he “forcefully slapped” a former girlfriend allegedly for “flirting” with another man.

That report came from three “friends” who confirmed that Emhoff “assaulted his ex-girlfriend.”

“The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France,” the report said. “One of her friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her cab, and described the alleged assault.”

Earlier, it was reported that “Emhoff’s first marriage ended when he got his children’s nanny pregnant. The woman, Najen Naylor, 47, did not deny the story when approached by DailyMail.com at her home in the New York millionaires’ playground, The Hamptons,” the Daily Mail documented.

At that time, Emhoff said there had been “tough times” in his first marriage, because of “my actions.”

Finally, the newest report on Emhoff comes from interviews with former coworkers at California law firms where he worked.

He was considered “inappropriate” and “misogynistic” at the office, there were claims he hired an “unqualified” part-time model as legal secretary “because she was young … attractive,” and that he withdrew work benefits from women who didn’t flirt with him.

The Daily Mail also uncovered opinions that he was a foul-mouthed employee.

The woman involved, Najen Naylor, 47, did not deny the story when approached at her home in the Hamptons, New York.

A close friend with direct knowledge of the affair and pregnancy told DailyMail.com that Naylor did not keep the child, though her social media shows a video of a baby girl named Brook in 2009, the year the baby would have been born.

Another friend, Stacey Brooks, who mothered twin boys around the same time as Naylor was expecting, also did not deny any of the claims but said she would not divulge further information without Naylor’s permission.

The revelation is causing panic in Kamala Harris’s campaign, especially as she has overtaken Donald Trump in some polls and is ramping up her final push to win over voters in November.

Emhoff’s spokeswoman Liza Acevedo did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Kerstin Emhoff, Doug’s ex-wife, declined to comment.

Doug Emhoff, 59, and movie producer ex-wife Kerstin, 57, ended their 16-year marriage in 2009 when she discovered the affair, sources said. Their daughter Ella was 10 and son Cole was 15 at the time.

Sources claimed that after the affair, Naylor had to leave her job as a teacher at The Willows, an elite private elementary school in Culver City, California, where she had been teaching the Emhoff children and moonlighting as a nanny for the couple.

Current tuition fees at the kindergarten-through-8th-grade school range from $32,525 to $41,535.

A mother who sent her children to the school before 2009 said she was aware of the affair, and though she was disgusted by Emhoff, she only had positive words for Naylor, who had taught her children and nannied them on family vacations.

Another friend with intimate knowledge of the scandal confirmed the affair with Emhoff but told DailyMail.com that Naylor did not keep the baby.

In September 2009, Naylor posted a video on Facebook to ‘introduce’ three babies: Sawyer, Brook, and George, with the caption ‘Baby party!’.

Sawyer and George are the boys of Brooks, who has been her close friend since childhood in Columbus, Ohio. Those children were born in July 2009.

The third child, Brook, who appears slightly younger, does not appear to be Stacey’s daughter, and is not in any of her later Facebook family photos. It is unclear who Brook’s mother is.

Another friend replied to the 2009 video of the three babies: ‘Ahhhhh!!! Post more pics!’

When contacted by DailyMail.com and asked about the Emhoff affair, Brooks did not deny any of the information, but said that she would not comment further without Naylor’s permission.

She added that Naylor was a ‘wonderful’ woman.

A search of Los Angeles County birth records showed no registrations for a ‘Brook Naylor’ born in 2008 or 2009. There were no babies born with the last name ‘Emhoff’ in the county in those two years either.

Naylor’s LinkedIn page says she became the ‘Director of New Business Development’ at production company Broadway Video in 2011, and got her current job as ‘Senior Director, Original Entertainment Acquisition & Development’ at audiobook company Audible’s New York offices in 2018.

Audible is owned by Amazon and based in Newark, New Jersey.

Naylor grew up in Columbus, Ohio, studied at Auburn University, Alabama, and moved to Los Angeles in her 20s. She is listed on residency records as living in New York from around 2011.

She bought a waterfront house in the Hamptons in 2021 for $855,000, with a $684,000 mortgage during the Covid pandemic.

The four-bed, three-bath, refurbished barn is set away from the main road in Hampton Bays, far from prying eyes, and is currently worth an estimated $1.4 million.

One source claimed that Emhoff had a financial settlement with Naylor, and that she left her school job due to the hushed-up scandal.

Naylor is currently caring for a baby and a toddler at the home. Her back yard is littered with toys, including a Wendy house and play equipment, and boasts a pool.

She bought the home three years after taking her job at Audible at the height of working from home. It is more than 100 miles from Newark.

Social media posts by Naylor also show that she has been planning renovations to the property for some time, saving images for how to decorate the children’s rooms as well as other parts of her home.

The Emhoffs’ 2010 divorce settlement filed in a Los Angeles court says the couple shared costs of a nanny, private tutor and private school fees.

When the couple split in May 2009, their daughter Ella was finishing third grade.

Sources told DailyMail.com that Naylor was Ella’s nanny at the time, and was working, first as a teaching assistant and then a teacher, at the Willows.

After attending the Willows, Ella graduated from LA K-12 private school Wildwood in 2018.

Emhoff met Harris – then California’s Attorney General – when he was set up on a blind date by one of her friends in 2013. They married the following year.

Claims of Emhoff’s alleged affair were first aired on July 31 by right wing activist and journalist Laura Loomer in a post on social media site X, although she did not name Naylor.
