John Edwards’ affair with Rielle Hunter a reality: no love, only sex?

By Natalie Pric

In a breaking news on ABC, former U.S. senator John Edwards has reportedly admitted of having an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter. He was being interviewed by ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff. He also informed that though he did have an affair with the 44  year old lady, it did not last for long. He denied being the father of her child and also categorically informed that he did not love her.

According to the ABC website “Edwards met her at a New York city bar in 2006. His political action committee later paid her $114,000 to produce campaign website documentaries despite her lack of experience.Edwards said the affair began during the campaign after she was hired. Hunter traveled with Edwards around the country and to Africa.”

Edwards informed that his wife and other family members knew about the affair in 2006. He also said that he has never paid any money to her.

In July, I had written about the news that John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret love child at 2:40 this morning in a Los Angeles hotel.  I am contented that at least he is speaking about it – being a man!

Although he has admitted the affair and come out in open, it seems that he is not clearly forthcoming on certain related issues. By being selectively open like this, he will not be able to stop the rumor mill as he might wish. On the other hand, he would alienate not only his wife but also his mistress. This admittance sounds a death knell for his political career anyway.
