'Extra' Exclusive: Edwards' Alleged Mistress Speaks!
A married former senator -- a blonde mystery woman -- and a late night sting at a hotel all leading up to a shocking tabloid cover story! But one-time presidential contender John Edwards is trashing the explosive National Enquirer story in which they claim he visited an alleged mistress and their secret love child at the Beverly Hilton.
Now, "Extra" exposes the mystery woman at the center of the scandal -- Rielle Hunter, a documentary filmmaker, who denies the affair. She spoke to "Extra" in February 2007 about her relationship with Edwards -- including their reported meeting in a Big Apple bar.
"It was a random meeting," dishes Hunter. "He was in a business meeting in New York, and I was in the same place." Rielle went on to propose an idea to Edwards about producing a series of internet campaign videos for him -- which he accepted. The two traveled together for six months creating the videos. "It was great -- we went to Africa," said Hunter. "The whole experience was life-altering for me."
Hunter calls the rampant romance rumors "not true, completely unfounded, and ridiculous."


























Some people are so naive to think he is not having an affair when he’s meeting at 2:40 am. Please don’t be so DUMB. He clearly puts himself before his wife who is still battling with breast cancer. He can’t take his life at home, so he chose to have an affair. Look at his lying eyes when he speaks, they show deceit. He’s a girly man who is a JERK! His hair looks girly too. UGH! He’s so revolting!
