Kamala Harris's husband was 'inappropriate' and 'misogynistic' at work, his former colleagues tell DailyMail.com.

Attorneys who worked with Doug Emhoff at his former firm Venable say he yelled expletives, held a men-only cocktail hour in the office, revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him, and took only young, attractive associates in a limousine to a ball.

Now his former colleagues from the Venable Los Angeles office, which he ran from 2006 to 2017, are coming forward with allegations about his 'inappropriate' and 'a**hole' behavior in the workplace.

They all spoke upon agreement they would not be named, fearing retaliation.

One senior former staffer claimed Emhoff 'bragged' about yelling 'get the f*** out of my office' to a female partner at the firm, later telling his top male colleagues that he had 'put her in her place'.

'She had to ask him something,' the ex-staffer said. 'His office door was closed. She said to his secretary, 'is he on the phone?' She said no. She tapped on the door, he didn't answer, so she slightly opened the door and stuck her head in.

'He said "get the f*** out of my office."

'What's worse was he bragged about it to the management at Venable and they were aghast. He's an a**hole. He told them how he "put her in her place". A misogynist, that's who does that.'

A female ex-staffer said it was well-known at the firm that Emhoff was 'very flirty' and that 'if you weren't flirty back or didn't respond positively then you were on his s**t list.'

This former Venable lawyer accused him of 'favoritism', saying the consequences of not flirting with him were that 'you wouldn't get to work on the cases you wanted to work on.'

'There were deadlines that, if you were one of his favorite people, wouldn't apply. But if you weren't, they would,' she told DailyMail.com.

Another woman who worked at the firm for several years said that Emhoff ran men-only drinks nights in the office.

'He had, for many years cocktail parties where only men were invited. In the office, on Friday evening,' she said.

'When my colleague brought that to the attention of Venable [around 2010], that stopped.'

The female attorney claimed that Emhoff also forced his colleagues to give him a cut of fees from new clients, using his control over allocating staff to new cases.

'If you bring in a client, you get compensated,' she said.

'He was in charge of the litigation department, so he staffed your cases. So if you wanted to staff your case, you had to give him part of your origination [bonus], or you didn't get staffed. It happens in law firms all the time.'

A woman who worked under Emhoff as a junior attorney at Venable told DailyMail.com that he favored 'young, pretty girls' at the firm.

'If there was an event, like the Justice Ball, he would favor certain people. Usually it was young, pretty girls. And he would prefer for them to ride with him. He would get a limo,' she said.

'I just don't think his behavior was appropriate for the position he was in.'

One top former Venable staffer told DailyMail.com that 'plenty of people' were aware of Emhoff's alleged inappropriate behavior at the firm.

Hypocrisy is only as great of a sin as it is without evidence of struggle, and that evidence is usually in the act of sin itself
