Elizabeth Edwards: Rielle Hunter is Pathetic
In her new memoir, Resilience, Elizabeth Edwards reveals she vomited in a bathroom after learning of the affair between her husband, former U.S. Senator and presidential hopeful John Edwards, and weird videographer Rielle Hunter.
When she heard, "I cried and screamed, I went to the bathroom and threw up," wrote Elizabeth Edwards, 59, who is battling terminal breast cancer.
She says that John Edwards admitted to having an affair with Rielle Hunter just days after declaring his run for president in late 2006 - or nearly a year before the National Enquirer broke the story in December 2007.
Elizabeth does note that when John initially admitted the affair, he "left most of the truth out." Like the part about possibly fathering her kid, maybe?
To protect her and their three children from scrutiny, Elizabeth says she urged John to quit the race, eventually won by Barack Obama. He did not.
In August 2008, the Enquirer again reported he was the father of Rielle Hunter's daughter, but this time busted him visiting her secretly at an L.A. hotel.
John was pretty much forced to admit that he hit that after that incident, though he still denies paternity. Elizabeth does not address this in the book.
Elizabeth also takes aim at Rielle, whom she never identifies by name, in writing that Hunter initially seduced her husband outside a fancy New York hotel by giving him the time-honored compliment, "You are so hot."
What politician could say no to that?
She says Hunter - who was paid $114,000 from his political action committee to produce web documentaries - was nothing more than a sad groupie.
While her own life may be tragic, Elizabeth says, Hunter's is "pathetic."
Although she long struggled to cope with her husband's affair, Elizabeth suggests she forgives John - who she was rumored to have kicked out of the house - and says that they are now on much better terms.
"I lie in bed, circles under my eyes, my sparse hair sticking in too many directions, and [John] looks at me as if I am the most beautiful woman he has ever seen," the accomplished attorney reflects. It matters."

Elizabeth is stupid for taking him back. I'm sure she's just needy and afraid to be alone because of her illness. And I agree with Megan28. The spouse should have more respect.
She's so pathetic. Can't even say reilles name.

Those of you who have stooped so low as to call Mrs. Edwards stupid, dumb, etc., should really take a look at yourself. This lady is battling cancer first of all, and then she contends with the fact that the love of her life has cheated on her with some bimbo - yes, this is a lot to even try to process in good health. I think the way she has handled this situation is very honorable. She knows that her husband is basically a good man with whom she has spent 20 plus loving years with - and now she must face this indiscretion? What must she do?? She decides to forgive him and continue with her marriage. What's wrong with that? Why give up her GOOD man because someone else wants him? The stupid people are those who would sanction her giving him up to the bimbo. She is even stronger than she realizes.
I think it is so stupid of Entertainment Tonight to sit and talk with Bimbo's sister for her opinion. As a true woman, I could never condone my sister screwing around with anot

I just can't get over how completely selfish John Edwards must be. 1) He cheats on his wife. 2) He does it just days after declaring his run for Presidency. Can you imagine if he was elected President and the country got dragged through this mess -- i.e. President's mistress, President's love child. Yuck. Show a little self-control if you're running for the highest office in the land. You're not animals after all. Frankly, I think John Edwards and Bill Clinton should be put in a zoo.
It seems like more is going on here, though. I really wonder if John is still seeing this woman. I also wonder if he is kicked out of his house and living elsewhere as has been rumored. It seemed like there was still a lot of tension when Oprah filmed the scenes with John & Elizabeth. Like there's more going on than what they're saying.

Whoever is writing those really mean comments about Elizabeth must be Rielle herself. Rielle clearly wasn't thinking about anyone else but herself. She likely has no true girlfriends because they all know deep down that she can't be trusted. John Edwards, you really screwed up and risked the most important thing in your life. your family. I hope they forgive you for their sake.
