Rielle's Pal: She Was 'Head over Heels' for Edwards

Before her affair with John Edwards landed in the tabloids and shocked the nation, Rielle Hunter was an enlightenment-seeking drifter who fell hard for the former senator, a pal of the blonde tells the LA Times.

Pigeon O'Brien describes Hunter's feelings for Edwards as "head over heels." She details how Rielle confessed to her about the illicit affair, and how John allegedly promised they'd end up together. "She said he assured her she shouldn't have doubts," said Pigeon.

At first, both the senator and Rielle denied the affair -- and Hunter had nothing but heaps of praise for John when she talked to "Extra" in 2006. "He was very real and authentic," she said. "He was inspirational to me."

Edwards admitted last month to his affair with Rielle, stating that the two were intimate during 2006, while Hunter filmed a documentary on the Democrat. Despite speculation from the press, Edwards has denied fathering Hunter's 5-month-old baby, Frances Quinn.

I did not know that breaking a marriage was something to be proud of this home wrecker and her family and friends seems like what she did is to be proud of she has no shame neither her friends and family displaying this behavior I am so tired of hearing about her people stop talking about this home wrecker and focus in global warming.

I wonder how JE feels about RH now that his affair with her has blown up his life, destroyed his family, embarassed his parents, and humilated his wife, older daughter and younger children. It as been my exerience that this kind of stress also changes or destroys the relationship of the adulterer and mistress. If the baby is his, child support is in order, not marriage or love. JE enjoyed his life before RH. At lest the acclaim and respect he got. His relationship with her destroyed this life. He will only be a foot note in history now and he was on the way to being much more, thanks to Elizabeth’s support. If he has any chance, he needs to prove or disprove the baby is his and then pay child support if she is and if she isn’t he needs to break off all contact with RH. Maybe then he can repair his family and go on to mend his relationship with supporters and others he has wronged. If he sticks with RH, he will no longer be effective in the public eye for anyone. Those of us who supported him would feel sick if he brought that women with him anywhere. We will always remember what he did to Elizabeth, Cate and the younger children.
