A new political ad airing in Georgia is targeting Herschel Walker in a brutal way and spotlighting a claim of a violent episode from his past.
The Republican Senate hopeful’s ex-wife, Cindy DeAngelis Grossman, appears in the ad and describes the alleged abuse she experienced at the hands of the former football star.
“Do you think you know Herschel Walker? Well, think again,” a woman’s voice says as footage of Walker scoring a touchdown plays. “Listen to what his ex-wife had to say about him.”
The 30-second ad features a series of statements Grossman made about her former spouse.
“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 going to blow my brains out,” Grossman says in the spot, which was posted on YouTube Monday.
Her allegations are hardly new as court records show she received a protective order in 2005, three years after the couple divorced.

Walker, meanwhile, did not seem to be bothered by the ad.
The former NFL star was previously promoted by former U.S. president Donald Trump.
Since then, Walker confirmed the existence of three children he’s fathered in addition to his son Christian Walker, who is very active on social media.
