Herschel Walker's Ex-Wife Describes Abuse In Brutal New Political Ad

A brutal new political ad targeting Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker focuses on his alleged abuse of his ex-wife, Cindy DeAngelis Grossman.

The ad produced by The Republican Accountability Project PAC shows archival footage of an interview Grossman did taken after the publication of Walkers 2008 book, Breaking Free: My Life with Dissociative Identity Disorder.

In the clip, Grossman discusses how Walker threatened her at times:

His eyes would become very evil ... The guns and knives. I got into a few choking things with him. The first time he held the gun to my head, he held the gun to my temple and said he was gonna blow my brains out.

Grossman filed for divorce in December 2001, and returned to court in 2005 for a protective order after Walker repeatedly said he wanted to kill her and her boyfriend.

Walker stated unequivocally that he was going to shoot my sister Cindy and her boyfriend in the head, her sister said, according to court records.

In December, 2021, Walker told Axios that he was accountable for past violent behavior toward his ex-wife and said people shouldnt feel ashamed about confronting mental health issues.
