Barbara Walters To Interview John Edwards' Mistress Rielle Hunter!?

Josh loposer — Thu, 21 May 2009 21:00:00 GMT

John Edwards' mistress has remained silent throughout months of wild speculation (supposedly because John was paying her to) and even a little trash talking from Elizabeth Edwards. Finally, word has it that Rielle is ready to tell Barbara Walters all about it...

"WORLDWIDE ENQUIRER EXCLUSIVE: John Edwards’ mistress Rielle Hunter has agreed to sit down for a bombshell interview with ABC News Barbara Walters, the ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

“Rielle will break her silence for the first time with Barbara Walters. The interview will air on ABC in June,” a source told The ENQUIRER.

“Rielle is so angry with Elizabeth Edwards for trashing her repeatedly while promoting her book that she’s decided to break from John. She’s going to defend herself and tell her side of the story!”

As crazy and damaging as the affair was to the Edwards family, the aftermath has been even weirder. First, the lying by John Edwards, then the lovechild. Then, we get Elizabeth Edwards saying that she is standing by him and making Rielle out to be the monster.

Still, if Elizabeth wanted this to go away, would she have slammed Rielle in her book and called her "pathetic?" This interview (if it's not a complete hoax) has the potential to be really embarrassing for John Edwards.

If she reveals that he's been supporting her financially, he's going to get a major black eye. Rielle is reportedly demanding that John take a DNA test to confirm that he's the father. He is refusing ... I wonder why? If it turns out that he's the father, Hunter wants 1/4 of his estate (which comes out to $10M).

John Edwards The Father Of Rielle Hunter's Baby?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 08 May 2009 11:03:00 GMT

John Edwards' former mistress Rielle Hunter - whose baby girl Frances, 14 months, is rumored to be the daughter of Edwards - is upset that he's denying paternity of her child. She wants John to submit to a DNA test to prove he is the dad!

According to sources, Hunter is working with an attorney to take legal action against Edwards. This all comes with the recent release of John's wife Elizabeth's new book Relilience, in which she talks of her battle with terminal cancer, her marriage and her husband's affair. Elizabeth isn't sure if John is the father of Frances, but she admits she could be. Although John finally admitted the affair to Elizabeth - he first lied that it was a one time thing - he has adamantly denied he's the dad.

An insider said, "Rielle - probably naively - now realizes she had held onto a false promise that if she continued to take part in the cover-up John had engineered, they'd be together in the future.

"She was willing to protect John for the sake of the child. She agreed to allow a crony of his to claim he was the baby's father, and she even kept the name of the father blank on the birth certificate.

"But now she can see there's never going to be a future with John - and she feels he's lied about his promise to keep Elizabeth from trashing her in the book," claimed the source.

"Rielle is so infuriated by his and Elizabeth's actions that she's throwing her loyalty to him out of the window!"

The source added, "Rielle wants the paternity of her daughter Frances finally established. It could ruin John for good because even after admitting the affair, he vehemently denied being the father!"

What a mess. I don't know how Elizabeth has been dealing with this - can you imagine battling cancer and your partner is cheating on you? Nothing like kicking a person when they're down. How sad for the Edwards' children, too.

And baby Frances didn't ask to be born into such a sordid situation. She has every right to know both of her parents - so if John Edwards is the father, then he needs to step up and take care of her. If you're going to sleep around and end up creating a child, then you have to take responsibility.

Elizabeth Edwards sat down with Oprah this week to tell the world her story, and snippets of the convo (set to air Thursday) are making their way out.

Apparently, Elizabeth came on the show to talk about her battle with terminal cancer, John Edwards' affair, and her upcoming memoirs Resilience -- but mostly John's affair and the messy, lingering aftermath. According to Elizabeth, John may very well be a baby daddy to Rielle Hunter's 1-year-old daughter.

"I've seen a picture of the baby. I have no idea. It doesn't look like my children but I don't have any idea."

When asked whether she still loved her husband, she replied: "You know, that's a complicated question"

If you remember the story, Hunter didn't list the father's name on her daughter's birth certificate, so it's not super clear whether she actually believes John is the father or not.

Still, with all of the rumors that Rielle got hush money from John's campaign and speculation that she and the baby are living in a secret home payed for by John to keep them from being overrun by reporters like me, it looks like he's the daddy.

Photo Proof: Oh Yes, The Baby Is His Love Child!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:05:00 GMT

Former Senator John Edwards may have, in the past, denied paternity for his former mistress Rielle Hunter's daughter Frances Quinn Hunter, but even without a test, just one look at that photo, and it's quite evident who that baby's father is.

It was reported that Edwards told his wife Elizabeth that he was indeed Frances' father but now it's unclear if he actually did. Although he has admitted to the affair with Rielle, he may not have actually admitted to being the baby's dad.

Elizabeth Edwards has a new book coming out in May, titled Resilience: Reflections on the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's Adversities, which is said to address the affair of her husband.

Hunter's people are saying that she's trying to stay out of the public eye and not make any comments concerning John Edwards or the fact that he's [allegedly] the father of her baby. However, with Elizabeth's book tour about to begin, Rielle may just start speaking up about the true identity of her daughter's father.

What a mess! I have zero respect for John Edwards - just the fact that he had an affair while his wife was battling cancer, is low. And to have fathered a child with his mistress is another low blow to his wife. I don't know how she stands to be with him.

I wonder how he's explained his actions to his children? And what about baby Frances? If he's denying paternity, and it's determined that he actually is her dad, then he's also denying that child the right to know her father. What a jerk.

Ex-Senator John Edwards To Wife: I Cheated & The Baby Is Mine

Sassy Smith — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 16:08:00 GMT

Ex-senator John Edwards was accused of having an affair with Rielle Hunter, while his wife Elizabeth was fighting cancer. Not only that, but he was rumored to have a love child with his mistress. Now, Edwards has confessed (what the rest of us knew!) that he did indeed father Hunter's baby girl.

John decided to come forward to his wife because his ex-lover threatened to go public. Although Edwards had admitted to the affair earlier, he would not admit to being the baby's father - he even had one of his campaign workers, Andrew Young, claim to be the father.

John's wife has a book coming out in May, titled, "Resilience: Reflections on the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's Adversities," and his ex-lover was upset about the release and John wanted to get the news of his affair out before Rielle did.

A source said, "Rielle has become extremely edgy, and John's been afraid she might go public before Elizabeth's book comes out so she can put her story out there first."

The insider added, "These concerns led to John telling Rielle that he had sat down with Elizabeth and admitted to being the baby's father. This is something Rielle had been pushing John to do for a long, long time because he initially told Elizabeth he was not the father.

"The last thing John wants right now is for Rielle to go public before Elizabeth's book comes out, make new headlines and trigger a nasty battle between the two women."

The guy is a slimball if you ask me. He's a disgrace to his wife and his children.

His love-child with Rielle, Frances Quinn, is now a year old.

People Are Still Willing to Pay John Edwards to Speak

Karl Erikson — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:31:00 GMT

Yeah, we're scratching OUR heads, too. John Edwards has been hired to speak at the University of Illinois in October. I can't imagine he's speaking on morality. In fact, I can't imagine anyone wanting to hear him speak at all, unless they're in it for the Train Wreck Effect. Edwards, 55 and father of three, will forever be famous for $400 haircuts and being a scumbag who cheats on his cancer-stricken wife. But get this...they're paying him $65,000 dollars!

I may not like the man, but I can't blame him for taking the money and running. After all, he's going to be hard-pressed to get paid doing anything else these days. You know you messed up bad when even the politicians are shunning you.

John Edwards Mistress Tells All

John Edwards' Mistress Tells All

Sassy Smith — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:05:00 GMT

John Edwards has come forward, admitted and released a statement (although he still denies being the father of her baby girl), that he and Rielle Hunter, his former "campaign photographer," were having an affair while his wife Elizabeth was battling cancer. However, as horrible as that sounds, there's more. Hunter has reportedly come forward to give more details in the sorrid affair....

According to the National Enquirer, the day before Edwards gave his statement on ABC's Nightline, Hunter and daugther Frances, 6-months, were flown from the US (on a chartered Learjet, which was only $50,000 - paid by Edwards' friends) to St. Croix.

The Enquirer had "spies" track down Hunter and found her and baby at a luxury oceanfront home owned by trial lawyer Lee Rohn, who is a close friend to Edwards. A National Enquirer reporter approached Rohn, who gave a tense "No comment!" when asked about Rielle. Shortly after, Rielle was moved to a motel for a few days and then returned to Santa Barbara on August 17. And Rielle now has an off-duty police officer guarding her home.

And how does all of this get paid for? John Edwards' "network of loyal supporters." Also, according to sources, there are a team of six lawyers who've been involved in the coverup and are helping funnel payments to Hunter, who has no source of income at this time.

Rielle Hunter's lawyer had suggested that she ask Edwards to take a paternity test but she's so far refused - believing that he'll marry her after the death of his wife Elizabeth, who is battling cancer. OMG - they're waiting for Elizabeth to die??? John is, allegedly, still in contact with Rielle. Shameful!

A pal of Rielle's told The Enquirer that when Edwards met Rielle, "She wanted to pick him up. According to her, the chemistry was instant.

"They ended up sleeping together that night!"

After Rielle was hired to shoot behind-the scenes- video for the Presidential campaign, "A friend kidded her she was actually shooting 'between-the-sheets' videos!"

Ugh - this whole thing is so skeezy - any man who would have an affair with another woman when his wife is battling cancer, is a lowlife - presidential candiate (former) or not.

Elizabeth Edwards - you could (and deserve) do so much better!

Rielle Hunter Calls 911

trix — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:34:00 GMT

Rielle Hunter, John Edwards mistress, called 911. What?

Why, oh why did Rielle Hunter call 911 on August 5th?

She was upset because the paparazzi were following her, she had her baby in the car, "I'm being followed by some paparazzi and it's extremely dangerous," Hunter also told a dispatcher. "I have a small child [in the car]."

When asked why they were following her she said, " they are trying to prove someone is the father of my baby, who's not, and they've been harassing me."

So she admitted that he isn't the father of her baby, maybe that's why she said no paternity test. Hmmm.

No Paternity Test For Edwards

trix — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:26:00 GMT

It seems to me, that it's a long step down from presidential candidate to baby daddy, but I guess we'll never know.

We now know that John Edwards admitted to having an affair with Rielle Hunter in 2006 but he denies that he is the father of her 5 month old baby. He said on "Nightline" that he would be willing to take a paternity test to prove that he is not the father of her baby. What did Rielle say to that?

No way jose! Not those words exactly, but you get the point. She didn't actually say anything, her lawyer issued a statement for her saying, "Rielle is therefore making no statement now or in the future, furthermore, Rielle will not participate in DNA testing or any other invasion of her or her daughter's privacy now or in the future." So it's a statement of a non statement.

What, no test? Why not? Why doesn't she want him to take a test? Could it mean that she knows the it's not his baby, like he says?

Even his wife believes him and she knows that he's a cheater, she said, ""This was our private matter, and I frankly wanted it to be private because as painful as it was I did not want to have to play it out on a public stage as well, because of a recent string of hurtful and absurd lies in a tabloid publication, because of a picture falsely suggesting that John was spending time with a child it wrongly alleged he had fathered outside our marriage, our private matter could no longer be wholly private."

I guess there will only be one person who knows for sure.

Cheating John Edwards Releases A Statement

Sassy Smith — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 05:04:00 GMT

Former presidential candidate and cheating husband, John Edwards has released a formal statement in regards to his affair with Rielle Hunter. He denies that he is the father of her child. Did you hear that? It was the sound of my eyes rolling....

He said:

"In 2006, I made a serious error in judgment and conducted myself in a way that was disloyal to my family and to my core beliefs. I recognized my mistake and I told my wife that I had a liaison with another woman, and I asked for her forgiveness. Although I was honest in every painful detail with my family, I did not tell the public. When a supermarket tabloid told a version of the story, I used the fact that the story contained many falsities to deny it. But being 99 percent honest is no longer enough.

I was and am ashamed of my conduct and choices, and I had hoped that it would never become public. With my family, I took responsibility for my actions in 2006 and today I take full responsibility publicly. But that misconduct took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then. I am and have been willing to take any test necessary to establish the fact that I am not the father of any baby, and I am truly hopeful that a test will be done so this fact can be definitively established. I only know that the apparent father has said publicly that he is the father of the baby. I also have not been engaged in any activity of any description that requested, agreed to or supported payments of any kind to the woman or to the apparent father of the baby.

It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic. If you want to beat me up — feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself. I have been stripped bare and will now work with everything I have to help my family and others who need my help.

I have given a complete interview on this matter and having done so, will have nothing more to say."

"You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself" <-----I love that line. Makes me want to get my violin out.

Edwards Affair: Who Is Rielle Hunter? (Photo)

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 01:55:00 GMT

Now that John Edwards has finally admitted his affair, let's take a look at the woman who he cheated with and who may be the mother of the former Senator's love child.

According to one online report, Hunter, born Lisa Druck, is a Florida native who took a Hollywood route to becoming Edwards' mistress. A friend of writer Jay McInerney, Hunter, 44, "fled the drugged-out nightlife of New York City in the 1980s, went to Hollywood to become an actress, tried her hand at screenwriting, married, divorced and embarked on a spiritual journey." McInerney later used Hunter as the basis of character Alison Poole in his novel Story of My Life.

Hunter, who is a novice filmmaker and runs a video production company was reportedly hired by Edwards in 2006 for a four-month campaign and was paid $100,000.

That must be some video.

Edwards has denied he is the father of Hunter's baby girl, Frances Quinn, but has volunteered to take a paternity test. The one-time presidential candidate said that based on the timing of the baby's birth on February 27, 2008, he knew he was not the father. An associate of Edwards previously stepped forward to say that he had fathered the child.

John Edwards may have effectively ended any chance he had at being added to Barack Obama's ticket by admitting that the constant rumors surrounding him are true.

Kind of.

According to Cover Awards: John Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff that “he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.”

However, Edwards denies that Hunter's child is his. He has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards' wife Elizabeth is currently battling cancer, and we assume a broken heart.

John Edwards & His Love Child - Photo!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 02:46:00 GMT

Rumors have been swirling that former presidential candidate, John Edwards has a love child with Rielle Hunter - and now a photo has surfaced that is fueling fire to that rumor. It may just be the truth after all!

Photo after the jump!

The pic from the National Enquirer is grainy but it does show Edwards holding baby Frances Quinn at the Beverly Hilton hotel in LA during a visit last month to Rielle.

An insider tells the gossip mag, "These photos are damning proof. He's been caught lying about his affair with Rielle [Hunter] and their love child for many months - and now the proof against him is piling up. His elaborate coverup is unraveling at the seams."

We're not sure if this is 100% true - but if it is, talk about gross. Edwards' wife Elizabeth has been fighting breast cancer since November of 2004 - dealing with chemo and radiotherapy, so nice of her husband to step out on her and make a child. And if it's true, then John needs to grow a pair and step up to the plate and deal with the situation and take care of his daughter.

Sassy Smith — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 16:37:00 GMT

John Edwards, I'm guessing, might be in a bit of hot water. It seems the former senator and presidential candidate has been busy - busy cheating on his wife Elizabeth, fathering a love child with his mistress and busy paying her off.

Rielle Hunter is the alleged mistress of Edwards (and she's the former videographer of Edward's presidental campaign) and she's apparently been receiving $15,000 a month from him to keep her from discussing their relationship or their (alleged) child. According to The Enquirer, the money is being funneled to Hunter by a wealthy friend, who had ties with Edwards' campaign.

That's not all though! This man is also paying John's friend and former aide, Andrew Young, to take the heat and claim that he is the father of Hunter's child.

A source told The Enquirer, "A super-rich pal - who was closely involved with the campaign finances - is helping John. It's likely this man doesn't know all the dirty details of John's extramarital affair, but is acting out of loyalty and is not asking a lot of questions - only writing the checks."

As well, the Charlotte Observer is reporting that the 'love child' doesn't have a father listed on the birth certificate. The certificate indicates that Frances Quinn Hunter was born on February 27 to Rielle Hunter, in Santa Barbara, California, two months after John's aide, Andrew Young claimed to be the daddy.

When asked (by the Charlotte Observer), the attorney for Hunter said, "A lot of women do that."

And when it was pointed out that Rielle revealed the identity of the father two months prior, the lawyer said, "That's a personal matter between them."

Ah huh. Does something smell bad to you? That's what I thought.

I'm guessing this means that Edwards (if this is all true) doesn't spend time with his child? I suppose not, since he's covering it up.

John Edwards, thus far, has not made any public comments regarding these allegations.
