Elizabeth Edwards Says It Wasn't Easy to Leave John
By not in system - AOL NewsRALEIGH, N.C. (June 29) - Elizabeth Edwards says it was not easy to leave her husband in the wake of the two-time presidential contender's infidelity, writing in a new chapter to her memoir that she still sees in him the memories of their 30 years together. Edwards says in the updated version of her book released Tuesday that she spent two years trying to "reinvent" her role as a wife so that they could stay together despite the affair. But she says the "tender thread" holding the family together unraveled at the very end of 2009 - three years after John Edwards first told his wife in private ...
Rielle, Oprah and Zen: America's Truth-Off
By Lizzie Skurnick - Politics DailySince the publication of "Game Change," the revelations of a sex tape and the alarming photo accompaniment to Rielle Hunter's GQ interview, we can safely say that dirt on the John Edwards scandal has entered an era of diminishing returns. America could handle the soap-worthy battle between a cancer-ridden wife and a wanton home-wrecker, but even the most salacious viewer knows that when the lady of the house takes off her pants and kneels next to the stuffed Elmo, it's time to pick up your toys and go home. ...
John Edwards and 'Camera Girl' Rielle Hunter: Did Reporters Miss the Picture?
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyThe latest evidence that John Edwards deserves a lifetime achievement award for most reckless, narcissistic behavior by a presidential candidate: He and Rielle Hunter, aka Camera Girl, didn't use birth control during their lengthy affair. At least that's what Hunter told Oprah Winfrey on Thursday. That may have been Edwards' worst mistake. Hunter says hers was agreeing to let Edwards aide Andrew Young take responsibility for fathering her child. That decision, at the behest of Edwards and with the incomprehensible acquiescence of Young, might have been the low point of one of the most ...

Citing anonymous sources, the paper claims that Edwards asked Hunter to marry him on the same day he told her that he would make an announcement confirming his paternity of Hunter's child. "John has proposed to Rielle, and she said yes," the source is said to have told the Enquirer. Robyn Beck, AFP / Getty Images The National Enquirer claims that John Edwards is engaged to marry Rielle Hunter, a former campaign staffer with whom he ...
Out of all the Extramarital Scandals, Public Feels Most Sorry for Elizabeth Edwards
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyAfter all the recent scandals about extramarital affairs involving John Edwards, Mark Sanford and Tiger Woods, Fox News asked in its latest poll which wife Americans felt most sorry for, and the answer was overwhelmingly for Elizabeth Edwards. Forty-nine percent sympathized with Elizabeth Edwards the most, while 10 percent named Elin Nordegren, Wood's wife, and 5 percent sided with Jenny Sanford. John Edwards, as everyone knows by now, had an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter and fathered a child with her while his wife was battling cancer; and, Woods had a series of encounters with ...
'John Beat Me!' Elizabeth Edwards Friend Tells Enquirer
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyJohn Edwards allegedly struck his wife, Elizabeth, around the Christmas holidays, in what the National Enquirer on Wednesday called "a horrific marriage-ending fight." This is the first time physical violence has been alleged in the very public and tawdry unraveling of their 32-year marriage. The tabloid quotes an unnamed Elizabeth Edwards friend saying, "John lost his temper, big-time," adding that Elizabeth "has the divorce papers drawn up, but she can amend them to charge John with domestic violence." On Jan. 21, Edwards publicly admitted what the Enquirer had long claimed: that he ...
Can Rielle Hunter and Daughter Find Peace and Privacy in Charlotte?
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyCHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A friend of a friend of mine walks her dog past the house that John Edwards supposedly bought for Rielle Hunter and their daughter, Frances Quinn. Others say that particular Charlotte, N.C., house – the one pictured in the National Enquirer -- is a decoy for the actual residence not that far away. A reporter from The Charlotte Observer knocked on the door of that other rented house – the one with children's toys outside – and got no answer. But a neighbor said the woman who lives there introduced herself and her daughter, and it is indeed the home of the ...
Elizabeth Edwards and John Edwards Separate, Can Divorce in One Year
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyElizabeth Edwards and former two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards are legally separated, according to her spokesperson. The Edwardses reside in North Carolina, which allows for divorce after a couple lives separately for 12 months. Edwards' spokesperson would not give information on the date of the filing of the legal separation documents. Custody and visitation arrangements for the couple's youngest children, Emma Claire and Jack, are unclear, as is their financial arrangement during the separation period. "She said, 'I've had it. I can't do this. I want my life back,' " ...
John Edwards, Wife Legally Separate
By not in system - AOL News(Jan. 27) --Former 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards, who admitted last week that he fathered a child with a videographer who worked on his campaign, has legally separated from his wife, Elizabeth, a source close to her said Wednesday. The source would not say when the separation occurred, only that it happened a while ago. The source said he or she spoke to Elizabeth Edwards in recent days, and would not speak on the record because of the sensitivity of the situation. Elizabeth Edwards' publisher, Random House, released a statement saying, "Elizabeth is moving on with ...
John Edwards Sex Tape with Rielle Hunter Alleged in Andrew Young Book
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyJohn Edwards' former staffer Andrew Young supposedly has a sex tape made by Edwards and Rielle Hunter, according to Gawker. Let's face it, Young has lied before: He previously claimed paternity of Edwards' daughter with Hunter, and if we believe him now, was willing to drive his own life over a cliff to cover up for his boss. But he now insists that he became disillusioned when he discovered the sex tape in 2007...in his friend Hunter's home. (Gee, was it hidden on the coffee table, along with an open box of chocolates?) Doubtless the motivation of a book contract had nothing to do with ...
