John Edwards’ baby mama Rielle Hunter opens up about their relationship in a very revealing interview in this month’s GQ magazine. The pictures accompanying the interview are so racy that Rielle “cried for two hours straight” after she saw them. apparently she was having too much fun to realize she was posing in just a button-down shirt with no panties on.
Anyway, the interview is more interesting than the pics. Here are a few excerpts courtesy of Hollywood Life.
They Had Sex The First Night They Met After He Pursued Her:
After slipping one of his aides her business card at The Regency Hotel in NYC on Feb 21, 2006, Edwards “bumped into her” outside where “he lit up like a Christmas tree,” according to Rielle, who says she told him, “You’re so hot!”. Edwards, she says, invited her to his hotel room that night where he beckoned her, “Come closer, I won’t bite! you.” ”There was so much attraction…. and I eventually walked over to his side of the room. He was pretty relentless.” Rielle reveals that for the next four days after the pair met” we talked on the phone almost every night for four hours”.
She believes Edwards hoped she would have an abortion:
After she discovered she was pregnant with Frances Quinn, she says, “On some level, he was hoping I would get an abortion. He wasn’t happy with the timing. Which was understandable. He was married and running for president.” (Well, ye-ahh!)
Typical of most jump offs, she blames his wife Elizabeth for his problems:
“Most of his mistakes or errors in judgement, were because of his fear of the wrath of Elizabeth….And you know, the wrath of Elizabth is a mighty wrath.” She claims that Elizabeth was routinely abusive to Edwards and that he could not go to his wife and say ‘ We have an issue’. Because he would be pummeled.”
