https://www.thedailybeast.com/herschel-walker-threatened-ex-wife-inflated-wealth-docs-show
Former NFL star and potential Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker has made a name for himself in conservative media circles, but that hasnt obscured a checkered past. The Associated Press dug into records tied to Walkers business dealings and divorce, finding allegations that he threatened his ex-wifes life, inflated his wealth, and had unpredictable behavior. Walker has long noted his diagnosis of dissociative personality disorder, with a 2008 book noting how the disorder left him with violent feelings. Despite claiming he sought professional help, ex-wife Cindy Grossman filed a protective order in late 2005, claiming he was violent toward her.
Walker has also exaggerated his business dealings, claiming to have hired hundreds of employees for his company despite filing an application for a $182,000 Paycheck Protection Program loan that listed the number as eight. Business associates also noted that, despite Walkers claims, he does not own a chicken processing plant. Walker did not respond to the APs requests for comment.

(28,345 posts)Never. Doesn't matter what you did, how hard you tried. You will never, ever, ever be acceptable. "Good enough to hire not good enough to marry," so to speak.
They like having you to use, Herschel, and that's it.
