A resurfaced clip of Herschel Walker dressing down his son and wife from 2019 caused backlash for the politician. The 60-year-old called his son, Christian, who’s now 23-year-old an ugly baby who’s dumb as a brick.
Walker had Christian with his ex-wife, Cindy DeAngelis Grossman, in 1999, and he blames her for his child’s “poor looks.”

He said she has ugly genes in the video circulating on Reddit . Christian was 19 when his father made the statement during a meeting with military and civilian personnel at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State.
The former NFL player praised Christian’s book smart but didn’t appreciate his lack of streetwiseness.
Walker Calls His Son An Ugly Alien
Herschel said Christian came out looking like an alien and told his then-wife, Cindy, that her parents had ugly genes causing his child to come out “ugly.”
The senate candidate didn’t like his child’s head shape, which he described as alien-like. So, he compared his child to another baby whom he described as beautiful.
To make his son look like a beautiful child, Herschel allegedly rounded his head daily as a baby, thus making him handsome and smart (This is a myth).
Unfortunately, Herschel and Christian’s relationship isn’t the best, as the 23–year-old fired back at his father, calling him a liar and an absent parent.
The younger Walker is a “Free-Speech Activist” and never shies from speaking his mind, especially when criticizing his father – that’s one gene Herschel can’t deny came from him.

Christian Fires Back At His Father
Christian is livid with his father and continues criticizing him in the media ahead of his December 6 election. The 23-year-old vented on Twitter about his father’s denials of the allegation that he paid an ex-girlfriend to have an abortion years ago despite being vocally anti-abortion now as a Republican candidate.
Christian said his father has four children with four different women, so he doesn’t care about family values as he says. The 23-year-old said he’s tired of the lies and said he and his mother endured Herschel.
He also denied responsibility for his father’s problems, and when he’s speaking about his father, it’s because he’s hurt, not necessarily to hurt him. When Herschel told the family he was running for office, he promised them he’d get ahead of his past, but he hasn’t fulfilled any of his promises.
Of course, Reddit users weighed in on the situation and chastised Herschel for throwing his son under the bus first. They also discussed the myth of rounding a baby’s head at birth and its ability to correct physical defects.
