The second woman to accuse Herschel Walker of pressuring her to have an abortion challenged him Tuesday to meet her in a public setting and tell her to her face she was lying.
“Herschel, I never thought you’d deny knowing me or our relationship,” the woman, referred to as Jane Doe, said through tears. “Are you really willing to do anything, including lying to the voters in Georgia, to become a senator? Do you have the guts to meet with me in person in public, look me in the eye, and tell me to my face that you don’t know me and that none of what I just said is true? I am looking forward to your response.”
WHY BOTH PARTIES ARE STILL VYING FOR THE GEORGIA SENATE SEAT
Walker dismissed the claims when Doe came forward last month and called her a liar on national television and on the campaign trail.
On Tuesday, Doe provided additional handwritten letters, journal entries, and voice recordings that allegedly show the Georgia GOP Senate nominee telling her he loved her repeatedly and acknowledging she was pregnant with his child.
Directly addressing Walker via Zoom, Doe added: “Herschel, I was shocked that you denied even knowing me. We were together for six years. You met my parents on a number of occasions, you met other members of my family — surely you remember coming to my apartment in Dallas more times than I can count … walking up three flights of stairs in order to be with me.”
Doe also read an April 1993 letter Walker allegedly hand-wrote to her parents, in which he apparently wished them a happy Easter and professed his love for Doe:
“I do love your daughter, and I am not out to hurt her. She has been a strong backbone for me through all of this. She has not done anything wrong. If you two think what I am doing is wrong, I will withdraw until I am out of this mess. I am sorry if I have put your family through so much, but loving someone sometimes makes you blind. If I have been blind, you two have to tell me, but I do love your Doe. I will love her always. I can’t ask for you two’s blessing because in God’s eyes, I may be wrong, but my heart will still love her, and God knows, so he can’t say this is wrong.”
Doe also read two diary entries from May 17, 1993, and May 22, 1993 — after she learned she was pregnant.
“On Wednesday night, I did a pregnancy test. The test was positive. I bought two more tests and did one as soon as I got home. I can’t even describe the feelings as I watched the positive results develop. I was numb and it was 8 p.m., the night before my parents were to arrive for a 10-day visit. Although I talked to Herschel Saturday morning, I didn’t tell him since it was only an hour before their arrival. I asked him to come over Monday morning.”
She allegedly wrote down what happened after she told him she was pregnant:
“I finally stopped him and put my hands beside his face as we lay in bed and said, ‘Herschel, you don’t understand. Please understand, I am pregnant.’ And then I cried. He grabbed me and held me close. He said, ‘It’s OK. I love you. It will be OK.’ He said it was probably ‘his fault’ since he knew he had very high levels of testosterone. I told him I could just disappear and he said, ‘No,’ he would. He told me that would be better since he would give the baby and I half of his estate. I realized he was talking about more than disappearing. And he told me about a book he had been reading about afterlife and levels of heaven. I was very concerned because I knew about his prior suicide attempt several years earlier, and I also had multiple conversations in which he spoke about threats to me and the baby if I went through with the pregnancy.”
Doe added that she was concerned for her own welfare and felt pressured to have the abortion even though she didn’t want it.
Doe said she met Walker in the 1980s. They started off as friends speaking on the phone for hours at a time, she said, several times a week. The two allegedly began a romantic relationship when he was playing for the Dallas Cowboys in November 1987. In April 1993, Doe found out that she was pregnant.
“I was surprised because I had been on birth control during my entire relationship with Herschel,” she said. “I really didn’t know what to do. I was confused, uncertain, and scared.”
Doe said during her first press conference that she discussed the pregnancy with Walker several times and that he “encouraged me to have an abortion and gave me the money to do so.”
Walker has dismissed the allegations not only from Doe but another woman who claimed something similar. In that case, Walker also said he didn’t know the woman, who was eventually reported to be the mother of one of his children.
Walker is locked in a tight runoff race against Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, and the allegations of him paying and pressuring women to end their pregnancies have dogged him throughout the final months of the race.

Doe said she wasn’t sure the impact her story would have on the election.
“Voters can make their own decision,” she said. “All I can do is tell the truth, and Herschel Walker knows I am telling the truth.”
