Former Heisman Trophy winner and retired United States Football League (USFL) and National Football League (NFL) player Herschel Walker has a third resurfaced claim that he stalked and threatened a woman.
Walker, a Black conservative who has fully supported Republicans and backed former President Donald Trump in last year’s presidential election, is running for a Georgia Senate seat.
Trump endorsed Walker in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race in a statement calling him “a friend, a Patriot and an outstanding American who is going to be a GREAT United States Senator. Herschel Walker will never let you down.”
Since then, he has been hit with several accusations against his character, and several women have come out accusing him of stalking.

According to CNN, a third woman claimed Walker threatened and stalked her back in 2002. The woman, who would like to remain anonymous at this time, was in her late 20s when she contacted the police in Dallas, Texas, about the alleged stalking claim.
She told the police Walker had been following her and had previously made “threats to her” and had “her house watched.” She also did state that she had never dated or had any type of relationship with Walker.
Black Enterprise reported a July 2012 police report revealing threats that Walker made to a now-deceased woman named Myka Dean. When Dean tried to end their relationship, she claimed Walker threatened to “blow her head off” and kill himself.
Walker’s ex-wife Cindy Grossman has also spoken out about Walker’s alleged violent behavior. During an interview with CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, she said Walker held a gun to her temple “and said he was going to blow my brains out.”
Walker has also struggled with mental illness, including dissociative identity disorder, in the past though information about his treatment is scarce.
