In her book, Hunter accuses Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, who died in 2010 from breast cancer, of driving her husband to his several affairs, and calls her a "witch on wheels."
Hunter also writes that Elizabeth "was bonkers because she was in denial" about Edwards' many affairs.
Edwards and Hunter's current romantic status remains vague. "I really have no idea what will happen with us. The jury is still out. But I can honestly say that the ending is of no concern to me anymore. The love is here. And as sappy as it may sound, I love living in love," Hunter writes.
ABC News reported that in an upcoming "20/20" interview, Hunter will explain their current relationship.

(11,366 posts)That's bullshit.
People who have affairs when they're not in an open marriage have character flaws.
If Elizabeth was that bad, John should have simply divorced her before proceeding with his dick-pleasuring. Pretty simple.

(8,646 posts)is she's likely parroting what John Edwards told HER.
My ex-h cheated on me and through the grapevine I heard what his girlfriend (someone I had NEVER even met) was saying about me - none of it was true and it was all lies my ex had told her to get a little bit of "poor me, I have a mean ol'wife" sympathy. So this little "Elizabeth Edwards was a meanie" crap sounds a little too familiar to me.

(45,776 posts)1. She's dying of cancer.
2. She's helping her philandering husband run for president, notwithstanding the women and the cancer.
3. She doesn't know who's going to raise her children after she's gone.
4. Her husband has a child out-of-wedlock, lies about it, and then admits it's the truth.

Anyone that hooks up with her will have a difficult life.

(57,936 posts)And, by the way, what sort of Democrat would buy such a book?
By publishing her book, Rielle Hunter has definitively destroyed any hope that John Edwards would ever change his public image. That is hardly the thing that a woman who loves a man would do.
She is an attention-seeker and a trouble-maker.

(12,145 posts)Nice choice of words there, Rielle.
So, Rielle, will you deny John's many future affairs, and go bonkers? Also, will your adoring fans be able to tell the difference?

(50,130 posts)If she were truly in love with John Edwards, she would want to do what's best for him.
What's best for him would have been for her to disappear from public life.
The fact that she is hawking a tell-all book tells me what she feels for John.

(13,459 posts)I detect more than a little projection in her remarks about Elizabeth Edwards.
I have personally believed Hunter had nefarious intentions in this affair all along. She was hardly a naive teenager when she had their child, if she had wanted to prevent the pregnancy I'm sure she knew how.
I wonder if John Edwards NOT going to jail is what she wanted or didn't want? Wonder how it will impact sales of her book?
