Rielle Hunter Affair Devastated Elizabeth Edwards
by Free Britney at .That name alone evoked anger and misery from Elizabeth Edwards until she passed away last week. Surprising? No. But the extent of the toll John Edwards' affair and illegitimate child took on his ailing wife is being revealed for the first time.
Interviewer Daphne Barak has kept this information secret until now, as Elizabeth requested. But now, in the wake of Eiizabeth's tragic death last week, she reveals specifically what happened when the scorned wife learned of John's cheating.
In March, Rielle Hunter posed half-dressed, with her baby daughter, in GQ, attacking Elizabeth and sending messages that she and John were still an item.
After years of being lied to, Elizabeth couldn't take it anymore.
“Elizabeth collapsed and had to be hospitalized immediately after that article was published,” Daphne says, adding that she was asked to keep quiet about it.Elizabeth’s reasons for keeping her collapse from the public were both obvious and more subtle. She wanted to remain a bastion of strength for her children.
Also, there was pride and not wanting to show weakness.
“This isn’t the only time Rielle Hunter’s presence silently hung in the air,” Barak said. “On March 8 when I picked up the telephone to Elizabeth, I told her that I was at the Regency hotel in New York for dinner. But suddenly the line went off."
"I called again, apologizing for us getting cut off, and repeated that I was at the Regency hotel in New York. Bubbly Elizabeth went all of sudden silent.”
“Only minutes later, it hit me - the Regency hotel! For Elizabeth, the Regency Hotel was ‘the crime scene.’ This is where her husband had drinks at the Library (the name of the bar in the Regency) and locked eyes with Rielle Hunter."
John Edwards' affair had begun.
"Then she waited for him outside the hotel at the next light,” she explains of the night Rielle told John he was so hot. “Where everybody’s life changed.”

Rielle what you did to Elizabeth is so unexceptable. KARMA will haunt you the rest of your life, you will never live it down. You might as well go out there and waller with the rest of the whores and slutes. You would fuck a snake for money.You can't hurt Elizabeth any more, but you have that to live with the rest of your life!!!! I hope Quinn dumps you when she grows up because you are a poor excuse for a mother.
And so a year later 20/20 runs a clip and gets us all thinking about the devastation Edwards and his whore caused his family. If the above poster really thinks that Edwards children are going to be thrilled to have a "family" with that blonde bitch as a mother figure and be happy about it, you're living in a dream world. Or obviously a world where you yourself came into someone's marriage and decided that you were so above it all that you could judge someone's marriage as not working to the point where you could sleep with the woman's husband. Those two killed everyone around them. Edwards made promises and destroyed any trust or confidence the nation had in him. All for what? Sex with an ugly blonde, dyed blonde no doubt. They both deserve the karma bus.
Walking in the pernsece of giants here. Cool thinking all around!
