ATLANTA — The drama surrounding Herschel Walker took a new turn this weekend as texts emerged showing the Republican’s wife reached out to his ex-girlfriend, whose claims he paid for her abortion have rocked the U.S. Senate race in Georgia.
The Walker camp provided the texts to NBC News but declined to make them available to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The woman, whose name has been withheld by news outlets because of privacy concerns, has also declined to speak to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution to confirm the story, first reported in The Daily Beast.
“Did you know Herschel paid for my abortion the first time? Or that he told me it wasn’t the ‘right time’ to have [my current child]?” she wrote in a message sent Friday morning to Herschel Walker’s wife, Julie Walker, according to NBC.
