Herschel Walker’s oldest son, Christian, lashed out at his father after the former NFL running back denied reimbursing an ex-girlfriend for an abortion in 2009.
Herschel Walker, who is pro-life, called the allegations a lie and he threatened to sue The Daily Beast for publishing the report on Monday.
Herschel Walker spoke on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Monday and admitted giving the woman $700. “Well, I send money to a lot of people,” he told Hannity.
“You know, I do scholarships for kids,” he said. “I give money to people all the time because I’m always helping people because I believe in being generous. God has blessed me, and I want to bless others.”
Walker also told Hannity on Friday: “I never asked anyone to get an abortion, I never paid for an abortion, and it’s a lie.”
As his dad spoke to Hannity, Christian unleashed his bottled up rage toward his father:
“Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew (some of) his past. Every single one. He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it.
I’m done.”

In a follow-up tweet, Christian, who is openly gay, said his father abandoned him to chase skirts and threatened to kill him and his mother:
“I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us.
You’re not a “family man” when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence.”

Christian continued:
“I don’t care about someone who has a bad past and takes accountability. But how DARE YOU LIE and act as though you’re some “moral, Christian, upright man.” You’ve lived a life of DESTROYING other peoples lives. How dare you.”
