Woman Claims He Attacked Her, Latest Story To Roil The Campaign

September 2, 2021A friend of Walker’s ex-wife claims he threatened and stalked her in Texas in 2002, according to a police report seen by CNN, throwing a wrench in the Senate candidate’s narrative of being a “family man” (Walker’s campaign declined to comment on the report).

February 11, 2022A redacted police report seen by the Associated Press reveals another incident in 2001 when police in Irving, Texas, confiscated Walker’s handgun after his therapist called 911, saying he was “volatile,” armed, frightening his ex-wife, Cindy Grossman, and toying with the idea of “having a shootout” with police (Walker denied he had ever been abusive toward Grossman in an interview with NBC News).

August 27, 2022Another woman, Walker’s ex-girlfriend (whose name has not been made public), claims he threatened to kill her after she tried to break up with him in 2012, allegedly telling her that he would “blow her head off” and then kill himself, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, citing police reports in Irving, Texas (Walker was never charged, and a campaign spokesperson told the outlet the claims are false).

October 3, 2022In a bombshell Daily Beast report, Walker’s ex-girlfriend alleges the hardline anti-abortion candidate—who has expressed support for a nationwide abortion ban at 15 weeks with no exceptions for rape, incest or risk to the mother—paid her $700 for an abortion in 2009, allegedly telling her it wasn’t the “right time” for him to have a child (Walker fiercely denies the report in a Twitter post, arguing the claim was a “hatchet job from a Democrat activist,” and threatening to file a defamation suit against the Daily Beast for reporting it).

October 4, 2022Later that day, one of Walker’s sons, popular conservative social media star Christian Walker, slams his dad in a video diatribe posted on Twitter, accusing him of committing “atrocities” against his mom, and arguing he was an absent father to each of his four children—Walker has previously criticized absentee fathers, particularly in African-American households (Walker tweeted in response, “I LOVE my son no matter what”).

October 7, 2022Days after the Daily Beast report, Walker’s ex-girlfriend tells the New York Times he urged her to have a second abortion in 2011, two years after she claimed he paid for her to have the procedure, although she refused the second time around, giving birth to one of Walker’s four children (Walker’s campaign declined to comment on the allegations to Forbes).

October 14, 2022Walker comes under fire again after briefly pulling out a “prop” police badge in a debate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, saying he’s “never pretended to be a police officer” and claiming the badge is real—even though there is no record of him ever working with law enforcement (Walker had attended training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, in 1989, although there is no evidence he worked with the agency, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported).

October 25, 2022An Associated Press report claimed a firm linked to Walker’s chicken and pork production company Renaissance Man Food Services benefited from a scheme to use unpaid former drug offenders redirected from state courts (Walker said in August the program helps give convicted people a chance to learn a trade and make a living).

October 26, 2022A second woman alleges Walker paid her to have an abortion and drove her to a clinic in 1992 while they were dating—and while he was married to Grossman—saying she felt “devastated” and “traumatized” (Walker denied the claim at a campaign stop hours later, saying he refuses to “entertain” or “carry a lie along”).

November 22, 2022In a press conference, attorney Gloria Allred—who represents the second woman—“challenged” Walker to admit he had a relationship with her client and that he paid for her abortion, or else Georgia voters would “conclude that [her client] is telling the truth and that [Walker is] not being transparent and honest with the voters.”

December 1, 2022Cheryl Parsa, who claims to be Walker’s former longtime girlfriend, alleged Walker attacked her in 2005 by grabbing her neck and attempting to punch her after she caught him with another woman, telling the Daily Beast that he uses his dissociative identity disorder designation to justify “lying, cheating and ultimately destroying families” (Walker has not yet addressed the allegations).
