Did you know Herschel paid for my abortion the first time? Or that he told me it wasnt the right time to have [her current child]? the woman wrote in a 9:54 a.m. text message sent Friday to Herschel Walkers wife, Julie Walker, who initiated the conversation.
In response, Julie Walker acknowledged that she had tried to be a mediator between Herschel Walker and the woman, who seldom corresponded directly with her sons father.
This message makes me incredibly sad. You know I have continually tried to bridge a better relationship between you and Herschel putting [the child] first, Julie Walker wrote to the woman, who did not return messages to NBC News requesting comment.
The Walker campaign provided copies of the text message exchange to NBC News hours before The New York Times published an interview with the woman, who alleged that Walker had paid for the 2009 abortion and tried to pressure her to abort their young son. NBC News is withholding the woman's and childs names to protect their identities.

(38,000 posts)Then, between July 1 and Oct. 11, the texts show, Walker sent his son 34 unanswered brief text messages. All but six say Love you, with the vast majority of them coming between midnight and 3:41 a.m.
On the evening of Oct. 13, his son replied, Whats my favorite color? What grade am I in?And how old am I
Walker responded the next afternoon: God bless you, love you.
even the kid, at 10, knew he was full of shit
