Bio
Rielle Hunter (a.k.a. Lisa Hunter, a.k.a. Lisa Druck, a.k.a. Rielle Jaya James Druck) is a strange name that will live in political - and celebrity gossip - infamy.
We like to refer to her as The Rielle Deal, but frankly, we've received conflicting reports as to how the Florida native's name is actually pronounced. Oh well.
But on to the good stuff. in late 2007 it was rumored that Rielle Hunter, a woman linked to presidential candidate John Edwards in a cheating scandal, was pregnant — and John Edwards is rumored to be the father of her daughter, Francis Quinn Hunter. Well, the baby part is still up in the air, but Edwards has admitted, as of August 2008, that he did in fact have an affair with Hunter. While his class act wife, Elizabeth Edwards, was battling breast cancer no less. Not very noble of the man.
We don't expect Rielle Hunter to receive a lot of good press in the future. Nor should she really.
The cheating scandal appeared to die down after Edwards' initial denials in 2007, but six months later, in summer of 2008, John was cornered in a hotel where Rielle Hunter was staying in Beverly Hils - with their supposed baby.
All VERY interesting. With the 2008 Democratic National Convention just around the corner, the pressure was on Edwards to confront the rumors, and he finally admitted he slept with Rielle Hunter.
He maintains the baby is not his, however. His account of the story is very shady, and (conveniently) Rielle Hunter rejected the idea that there will be any paternity testing taking place anytime soon, despite his heartfelt offers to take one. We will see if any more facts come to light that further blow the lid off this scandal.
