A woman who said Herschel Walker paid for her 2009 abortion is the mother of one of his children, according to a new report Wednesday, debunking the Georgia Republican Senate nominee’s claim that he doesn’t know who she is.
Walker’s only named son Christian, 22, was back on Twitter on Wednesday night responding to the new bombshell claims.
“Wear a condom, damn it,” Walker’s son tweeted Moments after the claims were published in a Daily Beast article.
The Daily Beast, which first reported on the abortion on Monday, said it agreed not to release details of the woman’s identity to protect her privacy.
But Walker, who has invariably expressed support for a national abortion ban, has vehemently denied the story, calling the abortion allegations a “blatant lie”, threatening a lawsuit against the outlet that he has yet to file, and saying he has none idea who the woman might be.
For example, The Daily Beast revealed on Wednesday night that the woman – who was not named – was so well known to Walker that, according to her, they had fathered another child years after the abortion.
The news comes after Christian gutted his father on Tuesday for telling “lie after lie after lie” – hours after it was reported he had paid for the abortion.

The woman decided to proceed with the later pregnancy, although she noted that Walker, like he had during the earlier pregnancy, expressed that it was not a good time for him, the outlet reported.
The Daily Beast said the Walker campaign declined to comment on Wednesday’s story. Walker is scheduled to make a public appearance Thursday morning as part of his Unite Georgia Bus Stop tour of the state in Wadley, Georgia.
Recent coverage ensures abortion will continue to be a key issue in the Georgia race, one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. Walker and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock are locked in a close battle crucial to the balance of power in the US Senate.
It joins a series of stories about the football legend’s past that rocked Walker’s campaign.
Walker has been accused of repeatedly threatening his ex-wife’s life, exaggerating claims of financial success and overstating his role in a for-profit program that allegedly exploited veterans and military personnel while defrauding the government.
The Daily Beast reported Monday that Walker, a former NFL star, paid for a girlfriend’s abortion in 2009 – and is now also reporting that he has a love child with her
Earlier this year, following a story from The Daily Beast, Walker admitted the existence of three children, whom he had not previously spoken about publicly.
The woman told The Daily Beast for Wednesday’s story that Walker’s denial of the abortion came as a bit of a surprise to her.
According to the initial report on Monday, Christian also lashed out at Republicans and Democrats this week for making judgments about his relationship with his father, defiantly telling them, “You don’t know anything about my life.”
Calling out right-wing support for his father despite multiple reports of behavior contrary to Republican values, he first told Walker, “Don’t lie about the lives you’ve ruined and pretend you’re a moral family man.” .”, adding: “That should matter to you all, Conservatives.”
In two videos posted to Twitter the morning after Walker’s abortion payment report surfaced, Christian claimed he was “silent” while “atrocities” against his mother – Walker’s ex-wife – were “downplayed” by the candidate and his allies became.
Christian has made a name for himself as a decidedly conservative social media personality. His profile rose sharply after his father said he would challenge Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in November.
But after the Daily Beast reported that Walker paid for his girlfriend to terminate her pregnancy and sent her a recovery van after the fact — a claim the ex-NFL star vehemently denies — Christian accused his father of being a hypocrite and a neglectful parent.
“I remained silent as the atrocities committed against my mother were downplayed. I was silent when it turned out that my father, Herschel Walker, had all these random children across the country – none of which he had raised.
And you know, my favorite subject is my father’s absence. Surprise because it affected me,” Walker said in the first of two short videos.

“Family values, folks? He has four children, four different wives, was not in the house to raise any of them.’
It comes after Monday night’s bombshell report, which showed as evidence a check written by Walker for $700, a card allegedly telling his then-girlfriend to “feel better” after the procedure, and confirmation from a friend of the woman who quoted her saying she took care of her after the abortion.
Walker has denounced the report as a “flat lie” and vowed to sue.
But Christian attacked his denial on Tuesday: “I was silent lie after lie after lie. The abortion card falls yesterday. It’s literally his handwriting on the map. They say they have receipts, whatever. He goes on Twitter, he lies about it. Ok I’m done.’
He also suggested that some of Walker’s allies pressured him for expressing outrage against his father.
“For the right to say I’m suspicious for saying, ‘Hey, I’m done lying,’ when you all called me and said, ‘Is that right about your dad? Gosh, we’re not going to win Georgia.’ …that was you. You have no idea what I’ve been through in my life,” Christian raged.
He claimed that what he and his mother knew could have ended Walker’s campaign “on day one.”

The social media star also clarified that he had only done one campaign rally with his father when “we were told he was going to move ahead of his past and hold himself accountable.”
“None of that happened. Everything was a lie,’ he added.
In his second video, Christian also accused Republicans of knowingly backing Walker despite the “lies” he told.
“All of this was a lie and you knew it, you knew it, so don’t you dare,” Christian said.
Addressing Democrats, the 22-year-old added, “And then on the left who’s like, ‘Well, he did all that to your mother and you were still with him. and you know, that’s weird.’ They don’t know anything about my life.’
Walker, who is pro-life, was also accused of the assault by Christian’s mother, his ex-wife.
He has also been accused of exaggerating his success in business ownership and in his academic career.
Walker tweeted Monday night in response to the start of his son’s tirade: “I LOVE my son no matter what.”
It was after the 22-year-old took to the social media platform to accuse his father of threatening the lives of him and his mother.
“I know my mother and I would really appreciate it if my father Herschel Walker would stop lying and making fun of us,” Christian wrote.
“You are not a ‘family man’ when you left us to shag some women, threatened to kill us and made us move 6 times in 6 months because of your violence.”
The explosive Daily Beast reports come at a critical time this week — just over a month until the midterm elections.
Walker is neck and neck with Warnock, a pastor who leads the church that Martin Luther King Jr. once led.
Warnock was elected by special election in January 2021 and is running for a full six-year term this year.
