Herschel Walker’s ex-girlfriend celebrates his Senate election defeat

Herschel Walker’s ex-girlfriend Cheryl Parsa spiked the ball after learning the former NFL star lost Georgia’s U.S. Senate race to Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.

“Finally, this violent liar, cheater, adulterer, abuser and deranged, manipulative idiot has been defeated,” she told the Daily Beast. “As a victim of this disgusting liar, I finally feel relieved, vindicated, and not alone.”

Parsa — one of several women who made serious allegations against the Republican Walker during his campaign — told the Daily Beast last week that he turned violent when she caught him cheating on her in 2005. His campaign did not respond to various outlets’ requests for comment on the allegation, though he’s denied other charges.

The 61-year-old Texas woman claims she had a relationship with Walker from 1996 to 1998, which they resumed years later. She presented several photos of her with the conservative candidate to argue her point.

“The great people of Georgia deserve better representation in the Senate than Herschel Walker, and today they have chosen better,” she said late Tuesday night.

Two other women said in recent months that the firmly anti-abortion candidate paid for them to abort pregnancies Walker caused. He denied those allegations, despite considerable evidence to support those claims, including handwritten notes and receipts. It was also revealed during Walker’s run that he had three children not previously known to the public, despite having built his brand around responsible parenting.

Christian Walker — the one son who has appeared with his father in public — trashed his dad for making a run at the Senate.

“Everyone with a brain begged him: ‘PLEASE DON’T DO THIS. This is too dirty, you have an insane past… PLEASE DONT DO THIS,’” the 23-year-old tweeted on Election Day. “We got the middle finger. He ran.”
