Rielle Hunter on Oprah: I'm Not a Home Wrecker!


People can't get enough of train wrecks and Oprah is an expert of showing the crashes.



From The Hollywood Gossip

Rielle Hunter, mistress to that disgrace John Edwards and mother to his two-year-old love child, gives her first TV interview today on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
The weird videographer recounts how the former presidential candidate's cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, slowly learned the full extent of his affair with Rielle.

Slowly being the operative word.

Rielle Hunter recalls how it was Elizabeth who encouraged John to come clean about his infidelity in 2008 ... even though she didn't know "the whole truth."

In the first interview John gave confirming his affair with Rielle, he denied fathering her child. Edwards finally admitted it earlier this year. What a sleaze.

Perhaps the most disturbing thing about Rielle Hunter? Besides the fact that she's still around at all? She somehow denies breaking up the politician's marriage.

"She doesn't think she's a home wrecker," Winfrey told the AP regarding Hunter. "She does not think she played a key role in breaking up the Edwards marriage."

Hunter told GQ in March (after taking off her pants, then dubiously claiming she was repulsed by the photos): "Infidelity doesn't happen in healthy marriages."

"The break in marriage happens before infidelity. That break happened, you know, two-and-a-half decades before I got there. The home was wrecked already."

Whatever helps you sleep at night, loser.
John and Elizabeth recently separated after 33 years of marriage. They had four children together. Follow the jump for the first clip of Rielle on Oprah ...

From Post Gazette.com:

Rielle Hunter talks about John Edwards, Andrew Young and her baby during an interview in her Charlotte, N.C., home with Oprah Winfrey.
John Edwards' former mistress Rielle Hunter contends that she is not to blame for the demise of the politician's marriage to Elizabeth Edwards and that the couple had problems for "many years" before she entered the picture, People.com reports.

"I do not believe I wrecked his home," Hunter, who has a child with Edwards, said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Thursday.
She said people who call her a fame-seeker or home-wrecker "bought into the myth of the [Edwards] marriage, [that] it was so perfect and it was so wonderful and I destroyed it," she says.

Hunter knew Edwards was a married father before the affair started, but says she couldn't stop herself. "The power of the love does override all the issues that come up," she says. "He wanted to be with me and their marriage had problems for many years." Hunter also claims John Edwards knew she wasn't using birth control during their affair and never asked her to terminate the pregnancy.

But she refused to reveal the current status of her relationship with the one-time presidential candidate, telling Oprah Winfrey that the information is private.

Hunter, 46, describes her initial attraction to Edwards after meeting him at a campaign event at a New York City hotel in February 2006, saying, "There was just a connection."

They soon then began their affair. Hunter became pregnant in May 2007, which she does not regret. Her "biggest regret," she says, was agreeing to let Edwards' friend and adviser, Andrew Young, claim paternity of the child. Their daughter Frances Quinn was born in February 2008 and John Edwards met the baby three weeks later during a meeting "filled with love," she says.

These days, Edwards and his wife are separated. He sees Quinn on a regular basis, and provides support both for his child and Hunter, who says she still loves the former senator.

Asked if she believes she has hurt Elizabeth Edwards, Hunter says, "You would have to ask Elizabeth that."
