John Edwards And Rielle Hunter Call It Quits


Last week, photos were all over the internet of John Edwards and Rielle Hunter on the beach in North Carolina. It was the perfect capper to a week of non-stop publicity about her book and there were photos of Rielle and John and their love child nicely packaged for easy digestion for newspapers and tabloids. So, with that out of the way, Rielle announced today that last week she and John Edwards split as a couple and that it was tough but it was necessary. Uh huh. So, now she gets another week of publicity for selling her book and more copies and if necessary she will find something else to make the news about next week.

And what a disgusting couple they were! I thought if he was imprisioned, she was to move near his jail? She's a whack job!!!!

FSP said...

Just another famewhore.

NewYorkMoments said...

She's the worst person in the world.

So Edwards destroyed his life, the remaining days of his marriage, and his political career for this?

SMH.

O'Really said...

They are both bottom feeding narcissists.

SnowCherries said...

My thoughts exactly, Layna Day. He makes me ill and she seems bat shit crazy.

mikey said...

Together they were the perfect couple.... they really do deserve one another. I do wonder if he'll write a book about his personal life.

Beth said...

I'm sure they'll get back together next week for a little extra attention.

She makes me violent !

Barbara Walters just checked her on The View for saying in the book that Barbara yelled at her for changing her mind and giving her interview to Oprah. BW told her she has had and lost many interviews in over 30 years but never has she yelled at anyone and the panelists backed BW. Who are we gonna believe- a trusted journalist or a woman who trashes a dead woman whose husband she carried on with? Hopefully their daughter will have better morals than both of them.

I wish people would stop giving this tack head a platform. Both she and Edwards are disgusting pigs.

HannahPalindrome said...

I think they're still together

Seachica said...

You can take it to the bank -- John will write a book in the next year, and she will hook up with a celebrity and/or appear on a reality tv show. I think his book will have a serious tone, as he tries to regain legitimacy.

auntliddy said...

I think barbara's a liar too. She can be be very Oprah-ey, like shes the master and we are her minions. But of couse I'd believe baba over made up name hunter.

auntliddy said...

If by serious you mean he tells us he's seriously an asshole, then yes. Bring it on.

detown359 said...

Agreed. They all gave Rielle the business.

Rose said...

I didn't even realize they were still together.

weezy said...

I'd like to think Edwards' daughter told him to dump Rielle or he'd never see his younger children again, after allowing Rielle to trash their mother in the media.

Based on their past record, it's likely he just wants them to go underground for a while until his daughter "calms down."

Shallow Gal said...

these 2 are gross and deserve each other. The ONLY reason I'm glad they aren't together is that those innocent children of Elizabeth's don't have to have a wicked stepmother.

Sylvia said...

If he was my father I would kick him out for being the disgusting pig he is.

See where he will get his next hair cut LOL...

Elizabeth is dead and that makes it politically incorrect to tell the truth about her. She was hell on wheels. I can see how Edwards, being a weak guy, fell prey to getting admiration and flattery, since it's well-known among those who knew and worked w/ her that Eliz used to belittle and demean her husband publicly. My view's not a popular one, but I just don't see why Eliz has to be sainted just because Edwards is a jerk. Remember, instead of spending time with her little kids, in the last months of her life she did a whole media tour to gain support, one in which she definitely played the cancer card to get sympathy. Those kids could've used their mom in those last months, but she was off spinning spinning. I don't think it's right to cheat but I can see how this happened and don't think anyone comes off well, including Eliz.

annabella said...

I'm with weezy. I think that the eldest daughter was rightfully disgusted about how rielle trashed her mother, and gave john an ultimatum.

last week they were supposedly madly in love and rielle had no plans to dump him, so to me, that explanation makes sense.

califblondy said...

ITA Carol. I've never been a fan of Elizabeth's.

It takes two or in this case three and I don't think anyone in this bunch is innocent.

blahblah said...

She just pulled a Kardashian 101 publicity stunt.

SusanB said...

ITA Carol - But I refrain from talking about Elizabeth only because she isn't here to defend herself unlike these two idiots.

Sherry said...

Diva and Blondy: I too have heard the same thing about Elizabeth. It doesn't make John any less of an asshat in my mind but I'm not rtrashing what either of you said. And I think Seachica has it right, Rielle will(has) dump him for someone else famous.
And on that note how DO batshit crazy women do that? My friends mom was the same way and the men were lining up for her. And she was no prize in the looks dept that's for sure!

parissucksliterally said...

I am really pissed off that the media is giving this woman so much attention.

timebob said...

He was just keeping her in the crazy stable until his legal troubles blew over.

He will be banging strippers this weekend and Reille will be stalking him for the rest of his life using Quinn as a battering ram against him.

she is bat shit crazy.

car54 said...

Kate helped him with his defense in court. Why would she have anything to say about him seeing the two younger children? He is the surviving parent and has custody of them.

I think John will find himself a nice politically correct mom for Elizabeth's kids and try to rehabilitate himself by doing some kind of charity work--and will probably screw around on her too. The person I feel sorriest for is Rielle's little girl--a morally questionable mother and a father who denied her until he was forced to acknowlege her. That will never go away.

@Middle-aged Diva Carol - Of course Elizabeth was not a saint. If you were living with a man who loved himself more than the woman he married, you would be a little crazy too. Elizabeth and John were two people who should have called it quits after the death of their oldest son. I don't think the married was on track after that tragedy.

As for Rielle, she's a classic narcissist and opportunist. She gets what she wants no matter who she has to hurt to get it. She's even using her daughter Quinn to elevate her status as a "lover of Johnny" and a "mom" to Quinn. She wants everyone to forget she spread her legs for a very married and public man.

@ Middle-aged Diva (Carol)- I hear what you are trying to say. My cousin also was familiar with the situation made similar observations.

I feel for all the kids involved, and I admire his eldest daughter for keeping it all together.Not sure I cold have done that.

Henriette said...

I'm with Carol. Elizabeth Edwards was no saint. She was just as ambitious as John and was grooming him for the presidency. She also knew taking all those hormones could cause cancer to have more kids later in life.

I'm not saying Edwards had a right to cheat on his wife with this nutjob, but I can't go along with painting Elizabeth as the innocent victim either. Edwards had been cheating on her for years! He just didn't get anyone pregnant.

I also do not think these two have broken-up. I think they have some kind of sick fascination with each other. Edwards gets to bang his strippers and this nut gets media attention. It's a win-win situation for them. They remind me of Prince Charles and Camilla. Everyone said Charles would NEVER marry her after Diana's death, but he did.

I don't think Edwards is dumb enough (I could be wrong though) to think he has a "legacy."

Agent**It said...

No, I think this is it for them. I think he gave her a great offer $$ to not publish it due to his kids, but she is a fame ho, so it's not enough.
