Apparently Rielle Hunter has the green light to start blabbing about John Edwards and their torrid love affair, because GQ has a feature on her in its new issue.
A feature showing Edwards’ mistress – a woman of “serenity and spunk” – trying hard to look sexy and, fittingly, given what she’s known for, wearing no pants.
The John Edwards sex tape participant and mother of the love child he denied was his for two years certainly is captivating, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
Luckily for us, GQ got Rielle Hunter half naked, propped her on a bed full of toys, and told her to recall in detail how it was love at first sight with “Johnny.”
One of her “unfiltered” observations: It’s all Elizabeth’s fault!
So many things are wrong with this, where do we even begin?
“I believe what happened in his marriage is, he could not go to his wife and say, ‘We have an issue,’” she opines. “Because he would be pummeled. He had a huge fear.”
“Most of [John's] mistakes or errors in judgment were because of his fear of the wrath of Elizabeth,” the weird videographer adds. “He allowed himself to be pushed into a lot of things that he wouldn’t normally do because of Elizabeth’s story line.”
“A lot of it relates to the spin that she wants to put out there. He was emasculated. And you know, the wrath of Elizabeth is a mighty wrath.” Oh, we so know. Totally.
So he knocked up Rielle, had Andrew Young take the fall and may have used campaign funds to cover it up because he was scared of his wife. Makes perfect sense.
She continues: “It’s beyond difficult to allow a man to be a man.”
“The biggest mistake that I find is that women attempt to make men women. You know, we want them to be like we are. We want them to get it immediately and do things the way that we want them to do them. And men are men.”
“I love him for being a man. But oh, my God, yes, it’s been infuriating so many times.” So basically, Elizabeth is a banshee, and men will be men, eh, Rielle? Nut job.
Fame, ain’t it a bitch. Rielle Hunter‘s learning that the hard way. John Edwards‘ baby mama is reportedly in tears today over some “repulsive” photos of her that appeared in GQ magazine.
Just to be clear, these aren’t stalkerazzi photos. The seductive mom actually posed for the Mark Seliger magazine spread, which includes a pantless pic on her daughter’s bed and the belly shot pictured here.
In light of her participation in the article—where she confesses she’s still in love with “Johnny”—are the GQ pics really that scandalous? Especially with the amount of celebrity skin we’re so used to seeing…
John Edwards is a bad person. He knocked up some weird videographer while married to his lovely, cancer-stricken wife, the mother of his three children.
He then tried to lie his way out of this, engaging in a huge cover-up potentially aided by funds donated to his campaign for President of the United States.
That’s hard to top, but perhaps what goes around comes around. At the same time Rielle Hunter was doing him, she too was reportedly having an affair …
… with Jeff Goldblum!
The Law & Order: Criminal Intent star met Rielle in 2006 at the Playhouse West acting school and repertory theater in N. Hollywood, where he teaches.
“Jeff said he was in love,” a source says, and at this point, you can’t discredit anything. “They were extremely close – totally, 100 percent, a major item.”
This is the weirdest love triangle ever.
They were so serious that when the blonde nut job got pregnant in 2007, Jeff naturally assumed the baby was his – and Rielle Hunter even led him on.
“He asked her,” says the source. “She’d only say, ‘Maybe.’ She kept him guessing.”
THG NOTE: Why the hell would anyone get involved with Rielle Hunter?
When it clear he was not the dad, Jeff, who now dates Tania Raymonde (a.k.a. Ben’s daughter on Lost) ended the affair. Rielle was hardly heartbroken.
“Rielle really didn’t care that she lost Jeff,” says a source close to the bat$h!t crazy woman. “She knew he was just a fling. She cared more for John.”
And his $18,000 a month in child support.
Not to worry, Jeff. Even if you did sleep with Rielle, at least you used protection or got lucky, and regardless, this rumor doesn’t involve you being dead.
Andrew Young, John Edwards’ former campaign aide, confidant and co-conspirator, has made some shocking allegations about the politician in his new book.
Most notably, Young claims in The Politician that he found a John Edwards sex tape, showing the ex-Senator hitting it with his mistress, Rielle Hunter. Blech.
That’s scandalous enough, but in an unexpected new twist, reports are surfacing that Young was trying to profit from a sale of the John Edwards sex tape.
“He was exploring options for the tape,” said a source close to the situation. “He had spoken to people about possible financial deals involving the tape.”
Andrew Young says he found the tape in the trash and it was marked “special.” Other sources say he was given the tape by Edwards and asked to hide it.
Either way, the Edwards sex tape remained with Young after Edwards admitted the affair with Rielle Hunter, and Young supposedly explored marketing it.
Rielle Hunter’s face is never shown on tape, though it is clear John is with a pregnant woman “wearing a bracelet” and a “thumb ring” typically worn by her. Oooookay.
Even more shockingly, today, Hunter won a temporary restraining order Friday prohibiting Young from disseminating the tape, implying he still has the thing.
She has sought an injunction demanding the very “personal video recording that depicted matters of a very private and personal nature” be returned to her.
Who knows if Andrew Young still has the tape or really tried to sell it, but as Edwards’ lies began to unravel, he eventually turned on his boss in a big way.
But back in 2007, Young was so trusted by Edwards and believed in him so fervently, he claimed to be the father of Rielle’s daughter (who is really John’s).
Lying for Edwards used to be his purpose in life. Today on Good Morning America, answering machine messages left by Edwards on his phone were played.
In one, Edwards explains how he might sound different sometimes. Follow the jump to hear John Edwards’ conspiring with Andrew Young via voicemail …
“Andrew, it’s John,” Edwards said, plotting his cover-up. “I am gonna leave you this message just in case you get a call from me asking, ‘What’s going on?’”
“The reason we’re calling is because Elizabeth’s standing there. So if I call saying, ‘What happened? How did this happen?’ – that’s because Elizabeth’s standing there.”
Young says over $1 million was used to cover up the affair and pregnancy on behalf of Edwards. Simply stunning. Here’s ABC’s segment on it:
Disgraced politician John Edwards nailed mistress Rielle Hunter in his wife’s bed, made a sex tape with her, wanted her to have an abortion and called her a “crazy slut” among other choice terms, a new book by his former aide claims.
At this point, do you doubt any of that?
In The Politician, Andrew Young, who once claimed Edwards’ love child was his own to protect his boss, portrays John as more of a disgrace than we thought.
We didn’t think much of him, either.
A self-obsessed, all-around creep, the ex-senator stopped at nothing to hide his indiscretions, including urging “crazy slut” Rielle Hunter to abort their child.
In 2006, Hunter began having sex with the man she called “Love Lips” and became increasingly demanding as she went into hiding to bear Edwards’ child.
Young describes Edwards as “barely under control” when Hunter’s pregnancy first came to light, with John questioning who could have fathered the baby.
He tried to talk her into abortion, but she wanted the baby, “which she believed to be the reincarnated spirit of a Buddhist monk who would save the world.”
You cannot make this $h!t up.
When the National Enquirer first broke the story, Andrew Young writes, Edwards pleaded with him to claim he fathered the child and take off with Hunter.
Hunter initially resisted, but soon signed on to the plan in which she would vanish into a life of luxury (very possibly paid for with John’s campaign funds).
Edwards met up with Rielle Hunter and the baby, but still asked Young to swipe a diaper and discussed having a fake DNA test “prove” he wasn’t the dad.
By mid-2007, Young clashed with his boss about exiting the bizarre scene, then found a John Edwards sex tape left behind in Hunter’s California hideout.
Young popped in the tape and was treated to footage of a pregnant lady believed to be Hunter “right in the middle of a sexual encounter” with Edwards.
Edwards, who initially denied all of this, went into free fall when the Enquirer ran pictures of him visiting Hunter and their child at a Beverly Hills hotel.
A tearful Edwards called his longtime aide, reporting: “They caught me. It’s all over.” The moron admitted the affair, but denied the love child was his.
He admitted paternity only last week.

Even as he cheated on his wife Elizabeth, Edwards refused to consider a divorce – partly because he still loved his wife, and partly because voters did.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Young says he went along with the paternity scheme out of a cultish loyalty to the candidate – and because he believed Edwards would save his career.
So many things are wrong with this, where do we even begin?
