'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!

I just have two questions for those of you who think this can’t be true - Why did he hide out in the bathroom and ask security to escort him from the hotel? What was he doing in the hotel at that hour?

I do not believe any of this garbage that is coming out about John Edwards. It is disgusting what these miserable tabloids can do to a person’s reputation. i believe he is an honorable man and is beneath him to go after some floozie when he has such a lovely wife and family.

This is crazy, the videos she made are all on YouTube
They’re both clearly in love with each other.
He looks so besotted with “camera girl”
You can see that she gave an interview to EXTRA on their website when this first came out. She has a very colorful history and likes the attention.
All of the information is coming from a “source” close to Rielle.
She wants this to come out, she wants John to admit to the relationship. I don’t blame her. I’m sorry for Elizabeth. She was the brain behind the man. Elizabeth got sick and had to focus on herself rather than him. She lost his attention and he is an insensitive narcissist who is incapable of understanding how to use a condom.

Really? The National Enquirer is now a legitimate news source? Are we going to be reading about how Oprah had Bigfoot’s baby next? The National Enquirer claims they have pictures. Where are they? If they exist, they’d be all over by now. Unless suddenly The National Enquirer isn’t in the business of selling their product. Give me a break.

I wish after John Edwards stated that the tabloids are trash you had followed him with a body language expert. The way his mouth twisted told it all.

Of couse he is having an affair. Politicians are actors by nature and liars. Isnt he the same guy who spent $500 bucks for a $10 haircut? He is a low-life but it seems we like them. Clintons little encounter has only mad him a richer man. And no doubt Monica is set for life.

I know for a fact that this lady is living in a millon dollar home in Chapel Hill, N.C. She was preg.& a man with close ties to Edwards claims to be the father. This man rented her the millon dollar home in the Governor’s Club. The man is married and his family also lives in the Governor’s Club which I find a little odd. I think this friend is covering for John Edwards and they are paying her to keep quiet. I live in N.C. and there have been pictures in the paper of her coming out of the OBGYN office.
