Doug Emhoff is accused of paying at least $80,000 to silence his ex-nanny as part of a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) to conceal an abortion. The Daily Mail reported that Emhoff cheated on his first wife and mother of his two children around 2008, allegedly impregnating his daughter's nanny - Najen Naylor - who also worked as a teacher at her elementary school.

The information came to light after the same newspaper published that the second gentleman allegedly assaulted an ex-girlfriend - whose name was not disclosed and was dubbed as Jane - at a gala, when he saw her flirting with another man.

According to the report, Naylor told Jane about the bribe paid to her by Kamala Harris' current husband. Later, Emhoff himself would have confirmed to Jane that he paid for Naylor's silence.

In that regard, the Daily Mail explained that "Emhoff told Jane that the nanny accused him of causing her to have a miscarriage, the friends claimed. According to the friends, Emhoff did not say how he was allegedly responsible for the miscarriage, and he told Jane that the nanny's claims were false. However, the Second Gentleman allegedly confessed to Jane that he paid Naylor a settlement of around $80,000, and had the nanny sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)."

Emhoff "reshaped the perception of masculinity"

As Emhoff's latest controversial sentimental episode came to light, the second gentleman is engaged in questioning masculinity, pushing for a reformation in its perception.

MSNBC anchor Jen Psaki, who preceded Karine Jean-Pierre as White House press secretary, interviewed Emhoff, asking him about masculinity and in what ways he has applied it while second knight, a position that has always been held by women.

"There is also an important, interesting part about how people have talked about your role is how your role has reshaped the perception of masculinity. Has that been an evolution for you? Do you think that’s part of the role you might play as first gentleman?" asked Psaki, to which Emhoff replied, "It’s funny. I’ve started to think a lot about this. I’ve always been like this. My dad’s always been like this. To me, it’s the right thing to do, support women. It is mutual with Kamala and me. We support each other, we have each other’s back. I’ve said many times when we lift up women, we support women whether it’s pay equity, childcare, family leave, and all of these issues in this post-Dobbs hellscape. Women should not be less. Women should not have less rights and be treated differently. That’s not the American way."

Meanwhile, several personalities have criticized the second gentleman after the news broke. Journalist Chris Cuomo, for example, argued that if Donald Trump's name was on these facts, the media reaction would have been different.

"If the name were Trump instead of Emhoff, it would be all over the news," Cuomo remarked during an interview.

Similar were the comments of Fox News reporter Joe Concha, who explained that "while the Post and Fox are reporting on the Daily Mail's bombshell on Emhoff, the homepages of The NY Times, Washington Post and CNN have nothing on this story."

Noted commentator Megyn Kelly also weighed in on the case and criticized the labeling of Emhoff as a defender of women.
