Elizabeth Slams John's Mistress

May 7, 2009 | Candid Confessions
john edwards paternity test?

Wronged wife and "Resilience" book author Elizabeth Edwards has a simple message for Rielle Hunter -- stay away!

"You can't just knock on that door and say you're out, I'm in," she told Oprah Winfrey in an explosive interview. "If you admire that life, you can't just take it. Build your own."

Elizabeth refused to call out Hunter by name, but there was no mistaking the focus of her anger. "I blame John," she said, "but women need to have more respect for other women."

Battling terminal cancer, raising children and keeping her family together -- Elizabeth seems to be intent on making it work, saying, "It's not about this woman. It's about this family."

As for persistent rumors Rielle's daughter Frances is John's, Elizabeth says she doesn't care! "Whatever the facts are doesn't change my life, in that sense," she said.

Is Elizabeth still in love with him? "It's a complicated question, but I wouldn't be here if I didn't love him," she said.

Should Elizabeth have taken John back? Tell us what you think.

Elizabeth Edwards looks beautiful. She is one in a million. The other woman is a dime a dozen.

John Edwards will be doubly devastated if and when his wife precedes him in death. He is doing all he can to make amends but will never forgive himself for hurting the love of his life as he has.
I’m heartbroken for this baby but the Edwards’ children will not likely be including her in their lives, ever. I know many people with so-called half siblings who have nothing to do with them. As harsh as it sounds it is diluted blood, but worse than that it is dirty blood. This baby was born from an immoral act by immoral people. Rielle had an agenda and John was fool enough to believe she was on birth control, is my guess. A 44 yo woman does not easily get pregnant, it was a concerted effort! I pray the baby finds loving, good people in her life, but it’s not going to be from the Edwards family.

WOW, this Becky person is already a “Reille Fortune Hunter.” No one else could have such vile words to say about this innocent, devoted wife. Not only isthis an immoral person, she is down right cruel, too. How mistaken she is to think most married men leave their spouses. Quite the contrary. All it usually is is a roll in the hay. What fools you tramps are.

Wow,
“Hurry up already.”? Who says that? Its clear you were raised wrong. Shame on you for not growing up and knowing that some of the things your parents taught you were inhumane and inconsiderate. Shame on you to even express on a mere comment that you wish death on someone.
What happened to common decency and common curteousy? Rielle and Becky were never taught either.
Good Luck America. Tune in tomorrow to see 5 more just like them on Maury.
Its a shame.

It’s not her fault she got Cancer, it’s taken so many lives. Been there and still see it. There is no excuses for one to cheat, he married her till death do they part. Bad judgment call on his part, your right it takes two people. I have seen mistresses destroy marriages, one in particular, they were married for a short time and one one wrecked a family home. His wife isn’t dead yet and what he did and her was appalling and disgraceful. It is however up to her whether she should forgive him or not. It’s his loss if she does leave him or break up the marriage. She also can decide what to do for the sake of her children and their futures, what do they think about there daddy and this woman. Bad examples to show their kids. Elizabeth is a very brave woman and deserves what all life can offer her now. If she beats this Cancer I say Yahoooo and more power to her, the other woman now is in the news for the world to see, and it probably upsets not only Elizabeth but their children as well! Yeah John keep your pants on and look what it has accomplished, not only did it wreck your family it also wrecked your career too!!

I guess Elizabeth Edwards missed the Oprah episode when Oprah revealed that she had had an affair with a married man. Next week week, Elizabeth Edwards will be on the View. Someone should tell Elizabeth that Barbara Walter’s was on that Oprah episode and she too revealed an affair… with U.S. Senator Edward Brooke of all people!!! This is hysterical! Will they make comparative comments. Again, poor John should have left his loser wife long ago, especially since he didn’t need her for his career any longer, I’m sure he regrets not doing so. Oh well, he still has time for a life if she’d hurry up already.

You’re right Rita, being married to Elizabeth must be punishment enough.

Tanika’s comment that she would make John Edwards “take care of me as payment” for committing adultery (speaking for Mrs. Edwards) was apalling! To think that assigning someone the honor of caring for a spouse, or life-partner, through a terminal illness, is a punishment for bad behavior is shameful! Mr. Edwards should be considered blessed and lucky to be allowed the honor of being present in the twilight of his wife’s remarkable life. He should not be assigned “extra credit” for holding a hand in death that he promised to honor in life. I am a strong supporter of Mr. Edwards’ politics. It is the personal politics, unfortunately, that make me ashamed. And for Tanika…to stand by someone through an illness is not a punishment. it is an honor. I pray that you do not live to personally understand the difference. For those of us who have, though, I take offense to the notion that caring for a loved one who is terminal, is a punishment! Shame on you all!

Oh, and how could she say that it would not impact her life if the kid is his?? Would the child not be related to her children and why would she deny her children their own sibling, half or not? Oh yeah, I know… because EE is a selfish capital “B”. Of course it’s impacting your life moran!! I know this sounds terrible, but I no longer even pity her for her cancer. She lies worse than her husband, she’s a user, she will do anything to punish Hunter and that baby (neither of whom are to blame for EE’s problems). I wish she would just shut up and go away already, forever! I feel so sorry for JE for having had to put up with such a prune, I’ll bet he can’t wait until she kicks the bucket so he can have a life again, I’ll bet.

What exactly is Rielle Hunter to be blamed for?!? She was not the one standing accross from Elizabeth at the alter promising to be faithful?!? Why can’t someone knock on the door and take what they like Mrs. Elizabeth?? People don’t own people! Urgh, the Hester Prynne of it all… why are people so damn Puritan lately. What would have EE done if John Edwards left her like most women in her situation, booh, hooh, hooh. Look, so long as women continue to blame the “other woman” men will continue to cheat.

In honor of Elizabeth Edwards, I am going to sleep with as many married men as time will allow this year. Did anyone see her on Oprah today, she looks like she could be his mother, she always has, who the hell would blame him, he’s human. Besides, EE doesn’t care about the affair, she just thinks she’s above everyone else and she’s embarrassed by the whole thing. Seriously, why doesn’t he just leave her already, goodness!!

I think we love to judge other people’s lives…30 years you don’t walk away from. Mrs. Edwards made a good point…why don’t women respect other women and their relationships. Women who jump up and down saying what they would do…need to stop and get real…they clearly need to keep living. Mrs. Edwards, “You Go Girl!”…It is your life and family…do it your way!

Message to the judgemental-LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!
People do not seem to understand that this is a house built on LOVE and FAMILY. Hopefully, Elizabeth lives a long, long life but if these are the last of her years…OF COURSE, she is selflessly keeping her whole family TOGETHER and under ONE roof.

Who are we to judge why she stayed with her husband. I thought marriage was for better or worse. Exactly, what is worse. If she does not want to give away her family, respect that. I thought we would be judge by the someone more perfect than us. He is not blameless, but the has to live with what he has done. Let it go people. Life is way to short to judge why or what others should do. By the way, the day that perfect person comes along write a book so we will all know who it is!
