Herschel Walker has maintained that he still doesn’t know the identity of the woman claiming she had an abortion after she and Walker got pregnant in 2009. But on Friday afternoon, the woman finally heard from a top Walker campaign surrogate: Julie Blanchard, the candidate’s wife. In a text message exchange shared with The Daily Beast, the woman—who says she later had a child with Walker against his wishes in 2012—told Blanchard it was “cruel” that Walker “continues to claim he doesn’t know me or the abortion he paid for.” “He brought all of this on himself when he decided to get on a platform and denounce abortion and make a mockery of his children who have done NOTHING to deserve this,” wrote the woman. “Shame on him,” she added. The woman asked Blanchard if she had previously known about the abortion, or if she had known that Walker had also said it wasn’t the “right time” to have a child when they conceived three years later. (The woman went forward with the pregnancy despite Walker’s wishes.) Instead of directly answering the woman’s question about the abortion, Blanchard wrote that “this makes me incredibly sad,” claiming she “continually tried to bridge a better relationship” between the estranged family members. Blanchard added that she “witnessed everyday Herschel pray for you and [your son] & everyone in our family.” She added that Walker calls and texts the child “regularly,” and feels “sadness” when he gets no response—to which the anonymous woman replied, “Are you kidding me?” Blanchard, who for years has also served as a go-between messenger for Walker and the woman, replied at 1:19 p.m. EDT, according to the text message chain. An hour later, the campaign blasted out a fundraising text message calling the abortion allegation a “flat-out lie.” The texts show that Blanchard initiated contact with the woman at 9:54 a.m. on Friday to complain about The Daily Beast investigating the existence of Walker’s children. Previously, their last text was on Aug. 30. The woman gave The Daily Beast her consent to publish the text messages in this story, citing Walker’s hypocritical behavior as a father and his continued denials of her claims. She also provided The Daily Beast with a detailed personal account of her life after having Walker’s child. Her account shines a light on the nature of her son’s relationship with Walker—or, as she puts it, the lack thereof. She asked for anonymity out of concern for her family’s privacy and safety, but supported her claims with text messages, photographs, and court records. Walker has not seen their son in person for more than six-and-a-half years, the woman said. The football legend has, by her count, met his son a total of three times, which she supported with photographs. Two of those instances were related to child support hearings. Walker's campaign declined to comment for this story. For an idea of how present Walker has been in their son’s life, the woman shared a series of screenshots of text messages from Walker to the boy’s iMessage account on his iPad. The messages are incredibly revealing. For instance, Walker never told the boy he had a half-brother until after The Daily Beast broke the news this June. The woman said she also didn’t know about the other son, which she expressed in a text message to Blanchard the day after the story published.
Herschel Walker is such a ho On July 7, the messages show—three days after Walker sent his son an Instagram photo from a July 4 campaign event—the boy asked his father if he had any other brothers or sisters he did not know about, in addition to adult son Christian Walker and a daughter Walker had previously disclosed to the boy. Walker, who had confirmed the half-brother to The Daily Beast three weeks previously, lied to his son. “You have the brother and sister I told you about. Love you,” he wrote. On Aug. 1, Walker sent his estranged son a photo of his half-brother, explaining, “This picture never went,” followed by the half-brother’s name. That message is followed by four unanswered texts from Walker, all of them saying, “Love you.” Three of them were sent after midnight. Walker sent that same “Love you” message to his son frequently, no matter how many times it went unanswered. Sometimes the child would write short notes back—inviting Walker to a baseball game, wishing him a Happy Easter, sending a photo of himself with gifts. The pace accelerated in 2021, when Walker was gearing up to announce his candidacy. Between June 4 and June 12 of that year, the texts show, Walker sent seven “Love you” messages, and nothing else. The boy replied, “You to,” on June 13, after which Walker asked how he was doing. The boy invited his father to watch him play baseball, and Walker said he would like to see him play, but according to the woman, the last time Walker saw his son was January 2016. Then, between July 1 and Oct. 11, the texts show, Walker sent his son 34 unanswered brief text messages. All but six say “Love you,” with the vast majority of them coming between midnight and 3:41 a.m. On the evening of Oct. 13, his son replied, “What’s my favorite color? What grade am I in?And how old am I” Walker responded the next afternoon: “God bless you, love you”. Walker didn’t send another text message for more than a month, at which time he wrote: “Your dad loves you so much” on Nov. 21. Walker, a vocal critic of absentee dads in the Black community, has four children with four women, and denied the existence of two of his sons to his own campaign staff this year, The Daily Beast reported in July. But in August, Walker told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade he has a strong relationship with all of his children. “They know that their dad loves them, and that’s what counts,” he said. more at the link https://www.thedailybeast.com/herschel-walkers-wife-reaches-out-to-his-abortion-accuser-georgia-senate?ref=wrap
conservatives calling this woman a skank, but Herschel is the ho running around fathering children he refuses to take care of
It's extremely inappropriate to speak about one of Herschel's alters as if you are discussing Walker himself.
So, has Herschel filed that lawsuit he said he’d file by this Monday against the Daily Beast for their “false story?”
I stand with Herschel. Libtards only want to run educated minorities with squeaky clean histories… The Republicans want to bring in the real Americans. Who doesn’t pay for abortions and occasionally get the cops called for trying to kill their wife? Effeminate men, that’s who.
People love athletes so it doesn't surprise me Walker gets support still. Republicans definitely are drawn to fame no doubt. I wouldn't say Trump's hold on the party isn't just about his popularity but it does play a role. I pick on Bobrek about his Republican claim because he not only disagrees with them policy wise he criticizes their off the field antics. He needs an intervention. I have a lot of respect for his integrity in the way he lives his life so I have no reason to say he isn't honest about his politics but he disagrees with everything about them. I will say this my first memories of his are about him are him with one poster in particular who was complaining about a situation (don't remember particulars) but the poster didn't do something correctly and Bobrek saying you can't complain, basically something a well intentioned conservative would respond. Bobrek is big on following rules
I'm talking about Bobrek claim of being a Republican which was pretty clear which I will admit to not always being but that was
