Back in 2010, John Edwards’ mistress and baby-mama Rielle Hunter gave her first exclusive interview to GQ. The interview was particularly revealing, if you consider it revealing that Rielle Hunter is an idiot who isn’t sorry she had an affair with John Edwards. Since then, Rielle has tried to “re-boot” her public image a few times, like when she wrote her self-pitying memoir or when she did the crazy publicity tour for that sorry little book. I haven’t thought about or discussed Rielle in more than a year, and I didn’t miss her whatsoever. Well, she’s back. Like an STD, she’s back. She wrote an “open letter” on HuffPo, apologizing to everyone for being so awful.
I behaved badly. That may seem obvious to you but it’s taken me a long time to admit that, even to myself. For years I was so viciously attacked by the media and the world that I felt like a victim. I now realize that the attacks are actually beside the point. The point is: I behaved badly.
I am very sorry for my wrong, selfish behavior. Back in 2006, I did not think about the scope of my actions, how my falling in love with John Edwards, and acting on that love, could hurt so many people. I hurt Elizabeth and her kids. I hurt her family. I hurt John’s family. I hurt people that knew Elizabeth. I hurt people who didn’t know Elizabeth but loved her from afar. I hurt people who gave their hard earned dollars to a campaign — a cause they believed in. I hurt people who are married and believe in marriage. Many of these people have let me know that I hurt them. Unfortunately, I was not thinking about anyone but myself. I was selfish. I fell in love with John Edwards and wanted to be with him and that desire trumped everything else.
And then instead of apologizing when I should have, I went on to hurt more people by writing a book. I truly did not realize at that time how damaged I was and because of that, when I wrote my book I made more mistakes, ones I feel horrible about.
My publisher came up with the idea of me going through my book and annotating all of my regrets and mistakes. I liked that idea. I thought it was innovative and interesting, but of course the actual execution of that idea turned out to be excruciating. Owning your past mistakes is no day at the beach but I do believe it is an important endeavor to undertake.
I am a product of infidelity. Both of my parents cheated on each other, and as a kid it damaged me. I then grew up, fell in love with a married man, and caused even more damage. I believe history often repeats itself if you do not take responsibility and change it. Infidelity is wrong. It hurts people. It hurt me and then I in turn also hurt people. It is a chain of pain. One I do not wish to pass on to my own daughter. I am sincerely sorry for my bad behavior, and for hurting anyone. If I hurt you, I am sorry. It was not my intention, I was thoughtless and selfish, and I am sorry.
At the end of the (stupid) essay, Rielle’s handler shills her “new book”, In Hindsight, What Really Happened: The Revised Edition: John Edwards, Our Daughter and Me. ON SALE TODAY. Which is what this all about.
I know I don’t have enough time on my hands to really wallow into this kind of experiment, but what if you were in Rielle’s position? What if you met a married presidential candidate, whose wife had cancer (for the love of God), and they had children… and you still fell in love with him? And as it turns out, the guy was such a douche sociopath that he banged you many times over the course of a year and got you pregnant, all while running for president and asking people to donate to his campaign and vote for him? And then your story came out and everyone thought you were a horrible person, etc? What would you do?
I think I would just keep my f—king mouth shut. It’s one thing to have an affair with a married man, but it’s quite another to flaunt it and try to become famous off it and try to act like you’re the biggest victim in the situation (LeAnn Syndrome). John Edwards reportedly bought Rielle a house and she’s getting money from him too – so there’s no financial need to do a tell-all anything. I guess there’s just an emotional need to put herself out there, to remind people that she’s infamous and such a terrible victim in this too. Just keep it to yourself. I don’t need her apology and I don’t welcome it. Just stop reminding everyone why they hate you.

Keeping it classy, dredging up crap to shill her book. Sit down and just STFU.
Indeed…………
It’s like I’m sowwy but please by my book.
And she STILL plays the love victim card about ten times in that “apology.” She’s disgusting and so is Edwards. Note tho that Edwards just stfu and didn’t pose half clothed with a his child and stuffed animals. The latter is what makes this chick Klass Kween.
@Tara – UGH. I’m so glad you brought that up… The woman is half naked with ‘bedroom hair’ (that’s supposed to look like it’s from a recent ‘romp’) sitting on a bed obviously meant to be/look like her daughter’s (with all the childhood character stuffed animals)… What’s sexy about that?! It’s creepy!
She needs to just let this mess go, for her poor daughter’s sake. She’s going to have enough issues when she gets a little older, she doesn’t belong in a men’s magazine with her mother in such a weird creepy shoot on top of it.
Exactly. If she is truly so very sorry then donate all proceeds of her “book” to organizations who support low income, single women & children or breast cancer research in honor of Elizabeth. That will tell us she’s sorry. She’s an idiot.
@Stubby love,I said almost the same thing down thread at exactly the same time! Great minds and all that.
EggZactly. Like anyone is going to buy that bs apology much less that book from this campaign roadkill.
I have no problem with her apologizing but I have a major problem with her profiting from it.
She needs to just go away. I assume Edwards’political career is mostly over. She should probably touch base with singer Rimes.
It was the book schill at the end that lost my respect. People shouldn’t profit from an apology.
+1
And including her parents personal information so she can be a victim too.
Me too. Still I hope her apology was sincere. Some people suffer and repeat their mistakes and in turn are taught a harder lesson then the rest. Her daughter is beautiful and the real blessing to come from this mess.
WHY is she posing half naked with the stuffies!
Right?! And her belly exposed while her kid is lying there… Apparently she’s trying to give off that MILF vibe. Turns out it just reeks of shame and desperation.
I had forgotten about that picture – so, so bad. I have a feeling she suggested it, and the photographer went along with it b/c it’s so crackpot and hilarious.
Exactly.
All the poses in her shots are very sexual — even the ones w/ her daughter. 🙁 Not cool and does not support her ‘I’m sorry’ statements.
Those are old pics, I believe, from her interview back when, in GQ. Not pictures that have been released with the “apology.”
I can’t fault someone for making what seems like a sincere apology. But she’s selling another book?
Yes, it would appear that the chain of pain continues.
“What’s she trying to sell now?” was the first thought that came to my mind.
She just needs to hide under a cave and stay there. Please spare us.
This attempt to sell another tell all book infuriates me! She needs to go away & never be heard from again!!
I thought it was a really good apology. I don’t demonize her, and hope she goes on to do good things.
She made stupid mistakes and feels bad.
Judging someone like that would make me a pretty small person, so I won’t.
If she were sincere about it, she’d keep it private – wrote a letter to the Edwards kids or something. Doing this publicly has only one motive behind it – money. She wants to keep people interested in their affair and its fallout to sell books. She’s not a naive young woman, she knows what she’s doing.
Apology or marketing? Just trying to extend the 15 minutes… Incorrigible!
It would be a great apology if she was sitting down face to face with the person she apologized to. But instead she is simply on the take for $. And the person who deserves an apology the most has since died of the cancer she suffered from while her douche husband and this vapid twat were shagging each other like animals. I’ll judge her all day long and him too.
That was the most insincere apology I’ve ever heard. Everything this woman does is calculated. She did not make a mistake. She knew exactly what she was doing, and kept on going ahead. A mistake is a one time deal, this wh*re kept coming back for more. She is pure trash…. Definitely no victim here. She is only fake apologizing now, because she is trying to push her book. I do not feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for Elizabeth and her family. They are the true victims here.
She deserves to be judged. And you best believe when it comes time for her judgement day, she’ll be judged there as well. I hope she likes very hot weather, because it’s going to be extremely hot where she’s going!!!!!
Wow, it must be amazing to be so flawless, clean and without a smudge on your holier than thou soul.
This is in response to Mollie.
Why do people always say shit like that? Compared to her my soul is pure and clean-I’ve never done anything that even remotely approaches what she did and how she behaved. I’ve never cheated on anyone tricked anyone into having a baby with me never pursued a married man never home wrecked a marriage. So yes I will judge her…all day long.
Anon33, people say things like that because people like you are so sanctimonious and flat out annoying in your smug attitude. Trust me, one day, you will have a challenging situation and will welcome compassion.
@ Mollie;
Yes, I am. Thanks for noticing. I’m definitely no cheap trick like this selfish wh*re!!
@Anon33:
Right on! I’m with you!
+1
It’s not sanctimonious to consider an apology that ends with a shill to buy her crappy book insincere.
I am as cynical as it gets but it felt contrite to me as well. Yes, she is selling a reboot of her book, outlining her mistakes which is a bit on the poor side of taste but the apology at least, to me, was legit.
Perhaps the publisher is the one milking it more – I mean, its entirely possible that she’s done a ton of soul searching, became able to face her faults and is now being taken advantage of.
(honestly, I don’t actually give a $hit either way. just wanted to throw it out that it was a very well worded apology.)
It was a clear case of drumming up publicity for her book. Real apologies don’t sell things. Or blame your parents for your behaviour. and they are PRIVATE.
The person she needed to apologize to is dead. Go away.
Hmmm, well she gets child support payments and that’s about it I imagine. Not enough to maintain her lifestyle without getting a real job…or doing crap like this. What she needs to do is shut the hell up. Her daughter will soon be at an age where her peers can pick up on this story. It’s not going to be pretty…
Maybe this apology is a last-ditch attempt to get John Edwards to marry her? Which he never will.
I think it’s also her way to try and get the public to accept them as a couple. I’ve read a few things that imply they are a couple…. Not sure how true that is.
Where’s my can of ho remover when I need it?
Lol
Good one!
Bahahahaha!
Hilarious. If you find it, pass it over here.
Ugh. That terrible photo of her with the stuffed animals. She’s a piece of work. She must think a lot of herself if she believes I or anyone else needs an apology from her. I stopped thinking about her about 15 minutes after her famewhoring started.
“Just stop reminding everyone why they hate you.” Exactly! If she had any decency, she’d just stay quiet and try to be a good mom. I feel bad for her kid when she gets older.
Agree. She just wants to sell another book. I don’t really need her to tell me that cheating with a man married to a dying woman while promoting family values is wrong. I sort of already knew that, but thanks.
Exactly!
And, egotistical people like her (and Falcor) would die before they could admit to fault. I’m shocked that she wrote this. Maybe someone else wrote it for her to help with marketing.
It’s the season for “open letters.”
I’m going to get to work right now on a series of them.
hee hee hee. Just like PSL it come with the wind changing.
…and them compile them into a book!
She’s still not owning up to her mistakes; she attributes her own behavior to her parents’ infidelity.
True. I missed that.
Ohh I missed that too. Excellent point.
And probably wouldn’t accept the blame should her own child have issues in the future, even though it’s OK to blame HER parents.
Exactly!
And, egotistical people like her (and Falcor) would die before they could admit to fault. I’m shocked that she wrote this. Maybe someone else wrote it for her to help with marketing.
“I am a product of infidelity.” Good grief she makes it sound like she was the only child in the world to ever be born to parents who cheated on each other. Back in the day people would have done something called… self respect and kept it to themselves… and not have turned it into a ‘poor me’ moment or a book.
Throwing her parents under the bus to win some sympathy points. Disgusting.
It’s time for dredging up “apologies” because the first book didn’t sell.
This woman is beyond pathetic.
I think the open letter would have sufficed, Or maybe putting the book online for free, with annotations. The mea culpa aspect was good and honest. The reason for it seems less genuine when you realize she is hawking something.
Gurl, bye.
So her apology for her part in the affair accompanied by photos of her torso and her in a button up shirt. Okay.
Those pictures are old. They’re from the GQ interview she did a while ago. I remember seeing them then and thinking the picture of her with her shirt up holding her daughter was beyond weird and inappropriate. Anyhoodle.
On the bright side, we can thank her for torching John Edwards’ political career.
Excellent point! That empty suit was fooling a lot of people; it’s just as well he was exposed for the jackass he is.
Back when this all was current, I watched her interview with Oprah. The woman is certifiable. I never thought much of John Edwards or Elizabeth for that matter (sorry but a lot of info has been written about what a piece of work she really was), but no one deserves this kind of crazy in their lives (well, maybe John does, minus the collateral damage to the rest of his family)
A lot of info was written about what a piece of work ELIZABETH was ?? Really ?? Where did I miss that ??
@OK – yeah, Elizabeth was definitely a piece of work. There’s a book out about the behind-the-scenes stuff in the 2008 pres election (talks about all the candidates). Good read – I think it’s called ‘Game Change’.
Game Change by Mark Halperin. There were a number of articles in various news publications as well (not nut job publications, real ones)
Yeah, I still have a lot of respect for Elizabeth, but enough has been said about her to lead me to believe she wasn’t a saint – but who is? The problem is, this fool miscalculated when she was attacking Elizabeth, not realizing that this wasn’t public knowledge. But even Republicans were smart enough not to attack a dying woman.
It’s a shame John Edwards revealed himself as such a douche. He’s the only one who ever talked about the “Two Americas”. I didn’t support him as a presidential candidate, but I liked him when he was running with Kerry. He and Elizabeth refused to allow the tragic death of their 16 years old son to be used for sympathy. Their staffers knew they would be fired if they tried it.
This pretty much sums up my thoughts as well. That letter is not true remorse, which needs to be handled privately anyway. Maybe she and a certain country singer can meet up for cheese and w(h)ine sometime.
That woman is one of the most self-absorbed, compassionless people I can imagine. She has no moral compass and only her naked desire for fame and fortune to guide her. I wouldn’t trust a word of her open letter of contrition, and as we see at the end, her mea culpa is only a shabby ploy to generate sales of her new book.
Go away Reille, your 15 minutes of fame-whoring is long over.
Well, ya know, she has to dredge up a new sugar daddy somehow. John must have a new girlfriend handling the visitation pick ups and drop offs and John must not be returning her calls.
He probably hired a female secretary/assistant to handle anything Rielle-related, and in her idiotic brain that must mean he’s banging the secretary (which I’m sure he’s doing somebody these days, but not Rielle), so it’s (in Brad Pitt’s words) “game on, motherf-cker!”. I think that’s how she thinks. She’s like a lot of women, who just go for the status symbol. Who knows what that idiot told her–oh after my wife dies (real nice guy huh?), we can be together….yeah right.
I personally think that if you have an affair with a married guy, ESPECIALLY in the public eye, don’t expect for anything but sex and humiliation, in the end.
she is the definition of narcissistic personality. She isn’t sorry, and in this “apology” she referred to herself as a victim. She was the other half to the problem. She was so unapologetic, so callous in her behavior. Did it ever dawn on her that a woman was dying of cancer? That any amount of stress can be awful towards someone who ill? As a mother, could she feel compassion towards another who would be leaving her children’s lives prematurely? No to all those questions. She and John deserves each other. They are both lower then dog shit .
Aims —
I agree with you. But I still hold John Edwards responsible. Rielle was going off of the encouragement that John was obviously feeding her.
Did it ever dawn on John Edwards that he needed to take into consideration that his wife was dying ? I am sure that their marriage consisted of John doing what was best for John at all times.
I agree, John was doing what he does best, putting himself first. I also believe he was lying to all parties. Encouraging his mistress. He used friends to cover up his affair. John is equally if not more disgusting in this situation. I’m looking at this from Elizabeth point of view. She didn’t deserve this. It’s bad enough when your spouse cheats, add a kid and the whole world looking in on it. It would be unbearable. Also add the fact that you’re dying. That to me is unimaginable.
We as human beings are programmed to have empathy, compassion, goodness and kindness. When you see someone hurting, our reaction is I’m sorry. This “I’m sorry” is self-serving and so distasteful.
In regards to the hypothetical question at the end, I can honestly say that I’m 99.9% sure (never say never) I wouldn’t be in her position. Cheating with someone who is married is wrong/stupid/selfish by itself, however, when that person is a politician, the stupidity turns into sheer idiocy. That person is not going to marry you. They have a career to maintain and you don’t do that by having a mistress AND marrying her. Once exposed, you apologize in a press conference with your tone remorseful but steady, the wife by your side,the American flag lapel pin firmly in place, and the hair perfectly coiffed.
Uh don’t tell that to Mark Sanford who is engaged to his side piece mistress and is now a Senator from S. Carolina as reward for his tryst in S. America with her.
He was actually the Governor of S.C. when he was sneaking around with Maria Belén Chapur, an Argentine journalist, to whom he is now engaged. Jerry Brown is now Governor of S.C. and Mark Sanford was sworn into the House of Representatives back in May, replacing Tim Scott.
There is also Newt Gingrich. However, if I were mistress I wouldn’t base reality on the exceptions.
HH –
Don’t forget how “Family Values” Newt Gingrich dumped his wife for his sidepiece ….. while the wife was fighting cancer.
Umm, Nikki Haley is governor of S.C. And FWITW, Sanford was re-elected by the slimmest of margins, by the diehard GOP contingent. He is still, and always will be, a laughingstock to most South Carolinians. (Ask his ex-wife about him breaking a restraining order by sneaking into her beachfront home by his iPhone light….)
Jaded, Jerry Brown is governor of California.
I’m with you HH. My politician father cheated on my mother multiple times. One of the mistresses really dug her heels in and stuck around for quite some time. She blackmailed him to keep quiet and he eventually tired of paying (but not before he took out multiple loans for tens of thousands of dollars and got her unqualified ass a job for $50,000 a year). When the money stopped flowing her jaws started flapping and we found out. Up until recently we were pretty sure he fathered her son, but a paternity test proved otherwise. He is still involved with her kid (who’s a drug addicted loser and financial leech, just like her). The relationship with her son has been going on 23 years because dad feels “a responsibility to him.” I can honestly say I would never cheat on my husband and risk hurting our family the way my father hurt ours. It takes a special kind of a-hole to risk their family for a few cheap thrills with an amoral pig, and another kind of a-hole to chase a person with complete disregard for their spouse and children.
If I “fell in love” with a married politician, and somehow convinced myself that it was okay to have sex with him, the I sure as hell would have used birth control! She was what? 39-40, when they hooked up? Not some young girl with stars in her eyes.
Ms. Druck was 43 or 44 when this mess happened. If she needs money, maybe she can go back to being a movie extra. She was a bikini wearing extra in Overboard, after all.
Exactly. Anybody sane would never even go there to begin with.
I really don’t understand this “falling in love with John Edwards, and acting on that love” That was lust, not love. Love isn’t built on deceit and lies. Love doesn’t destroy another person’s marriage. She clearly does not get it and I do not for a minute think she is regretful. I feel so very badly for Elizabeth’s children, having a half sibling with whom they may want a relationship with, but also having to deal with Rielle. The GQ photo shot is among the most distributing things ever published in a major magazine.
+1
Still trying to push that moldy book of hers? Much too late to apologize, Mrs. Edwards suffered even more in her final months due to this woman.
LOL. And just like the original piece of trash, the revised editions are ALL GOING TO TANK!
I seriously hope so. I was surprised at how badly the book did, considering our love for scandalous. But this is one ugly woman – inside and out.
If she’s truly sorry, she will donate the proceeds of her book to charity (preferably breast cancer, in honor of Elizabeth). Actions speak louder than words, and her actions have shown what an unrepentant a-hole she is. Her words mean nothing.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the title of her book. It’s so long and ridiculous. In Hindsight, What Really Happened: The Revised Edition: John Edwards, Our Daughter and Me? Seriously? Jesus Christ, what else could she have called it?

This one wins! 😀
I read the comments on the HuffPo article. (this letter) what a bunch of simpletons! I got as far in as *6 PAGES* of comments and not ONE comment mentioned her schilling at the end! They all felt it was “real”, “so incredibly honest sounding and they believed her remorse!” (gag), “I believe you Rielle!” (like she really GAFF!), “I accept your apology Rielle!” (oh dear G_d)
That’s why I don’t read any internet comments, other than those on CB and T.LO. Even on places that skew towards my political beliefs.. they’re awful! I can feel my soul dying a little. It’s kind of like eating 5 Guys. Tempting, but you NEVER feel better afterwards.
One of the many great things about Celebitchy is the bullshit filter most commenters have. They see through the bullshit and don’t put up with.
^^^^This is excellent, so creative! All I can say is here comes this bitch again, when I had actually managed to forget her. She obviously wants to be in the news again, and wants money. By now she may have also found that for her daughter’s sake she needs to make herself into a more acceptable figure….especially to other mothers. She and John Edwards equally turn my stomach, so I’m going to hope she fades away again, with memories of their “great love” that turned out to be just another tawdry affair.
She’s still full of BS excuses: “I’m the product of infidelity”. “My parents cheated on each other”. “I fell in love”.
Bullsh*t, Rielle. It’s true you ARE selfish, but you are in no way sorry for your actions, and neither is John Edwards. You just want to push another book that’s going to BOMB right out of the gate.
“I fell in love”–What bullsh-t.
If she really loved that guy (moron), then she would’ve kept her mouth shut and let him handle everything. The only thing I would’ve wanted her to say is make a brief apology to Elizabeth–as in “I’m sorry that my actions have caused Mrs. Edwards pain, and I hope this doesn’t affect my child’s relationship with her father/siblings”,etc. Something like that–which I know I wouldn’t want to hear if I were the wife, but I think she should say it and be done with it.
AND NOT SAY ANYTHING ELSE. Nothing else. Just live your life.
This is no way excuses John Edwards, who is equally guilty, but she’s already told her story. She persued him HARD from the beginning. It happened exactly as she planned. I can only speculate that she possibly helped to expose it. I don’t think Edwards would have been the Democratic nominee, but it really pissed me off that he was willing to throw the whole Democratic party under the bus. Total asshole.
Yeah Rielle, we know.
Ah, shaddap.
I hope nobody buys her book. She’s a home-wrecker. She knew what she was doing all along. She felt like a victim for being attacked as being a home-wrecker, oh poor baby…. NOT!!! Who really gives a flying f*ck what this white trash POS has to say. I certainly won’t be buying the book.
My only happy ending is that she is going to have to explain to her child that they were conceived while their mom was a wh*re and f*cked a married man, and then rubbed it in his wife’s face, as well as, his enter family. Pure trash!!! STFU already bimbo, and just go away!!!
Gross, gag, puke.
As a daughter of parents that cheated and kept on-going affairs for decades….made me……..REALIZE Id never cheat on my husband and my family.
The mess, the drama, the hurt, the lies all that crap helped me to see how the pain hurts the children the most. I dont want to be that woman! I dont want to continue the cycle! I want my children’s respect.
As a woman, whose been dealing with NOT respecting my own mother…makes me realize I dont want that strained relationship with my own kids.
Stop blaming your parents.
You make your own decisions. You choose your own path.
Your parents mistakes dont have to become your own!
End rant!
Sorry, not buying it. If she was sorry she wouldn’t be writing yet another book to make money off her poor decisions…ugh
Bitch, please.
If she really loved John, the public would not know she exists.
I definitely agree with this.
So true.
Are she and John Edwards still together? That’s all anyone wants to know. Is she raising the kids that he had with Elizabeth?
Their adult daughter Cate has stood behind and supported Edwards throughout the scandal, his legal problems, and his public claiming of Hunter’s daughter. I would be absolutely shocked if this woman was allowed anywhere near Elizabeth’s two younger kids. Elizabeth was extremely bitter, rightly in my opinion, and if the rumors of her ruthlessness are true, by her death, she had an arrangement to protect her kids from this woman.
Of all this mess, what I understand least is how STUPID Edwards was about it. He knew how this would play. But he couldn’t keep it in his pants, or at least pick a woman who would keep everything completely under wraps. If such a man propositioned me, I’d be massively turned off by his lack of judgment.
It’s possible to fall in love with someone you shouldn’t, and make some bad decisions because of it, but that doesn’t excuse everything. And when the decisions are this MASSIVELY BAD, it’s really gross to try to excuse yourself with reasons that might fly for other people in other situations.
He was too stupid to “keep it under wraps”, as in, use a condom.
Idk, condoms break, birth control isn’t 100% effective, but then they could also have done sexual things that could not possibly result in pregnancy if they had to do sexual things at all, which they didn’t, but they did them anyway because they were stupid and narcissistic and self-absorbed enough to think they wouldn’t get caught.
Didn’t John Edwards once call her a, “crazy slvt” ?
I think that’s enough to know what she’s all about.
John Edwards never left her. I mean, they are together when she’s writing that horrible book bashing Elizabeth, and she says he never asked to read it while she was writing it. Is he insane? Then when it came out and she was being bashed, then he dumps her the first week. But from what I can tell, they got back together and she even moved closer to him, to his town.
Here’s how you apologize. You do it on your own, no strings attached.
You don’t have your publisher suggest you re-edit your book with annotations of your failures and regrets and then once you’ve done all of that and months later once the book is ready to drop again write an open letter apologizing to the public while mentioning your book being on sale just this week for you to buy and read all of her mea culpas.
Just ugh.
She’s disgusting and will continue to be disgusting. Plain and simple. I have zero sympathy for people like her. There are no words…
what was that book about the election, game change? i came away from it thinking, hell i’d leave elizabeth edwards, girl is cray. but still, keep it all classy and quiet, all these books and interviews help no one (but your wallet)
She’s NOT sorry. She’s still milking this story by having John Edwards’ names plastered all over her new book. Un-freakin-believable. This woman.
In another year will we get the revised revised version? This isn’t an encyclopedia.
Next.
I don’t like the pictures…she’s trying to hard to be sexual with her child.
Wonder what kind of messed up childhood you had that you would see something like that….talk about distortion, assuming and wild conjecture!
Up thread- Jerry Brown is not the Gov of SC- Nikki Haley is. All the rest re the former “Luv Guv”‘s shenanigans are correct.
Thanks for the correction, I’m Canadian and not up on who the current gov is!
Oh! I didn’t see you there, I was just hanging out on this bed covered in stuffed animals in a man’s shirt and some underwear.
Um, isn’t she a little too old to be a sugar?
*eyeroll* Most people who have affairs end up regretting it later, one way or the other. Sometimes it takes a while, but it always comes back to bite you in the ass. I’ve always been surprisingly “meh” about her, though I DID and still do feel so sorry for Elizabeth. What a frightening last few months she must have had. Argh! The one thing that always hurts when all of this is brought up though? That poor baby born to Hunter. I feel so sorry for it. It will probably grow up to be bullied and hated, too. And it did nothing wrong. Kids are always the victims.
Its true most people who have affairs end up regretting it.
With a few rare exceptions, most men don’t wind up marrying the woman they had the affair with. After the divorce, they usually date and marry a different woman, not the woman they were cheating on their wife with.
So the “other woman” often gambles, and loses.
I know a woman in her 50s, who has been dating the same married man for over 10 years now. She wanted to marry & have kids, but now she is too old for that. She still hopes this man will leave his wife someday, but he probably never will. And even if he does, he might not marry this woman.
Wow, I should have figured that only opinions matching your own would be allowed on this site. Figures.
I wondered what she was selling and then – BOOM – there it was, a “revised” version of the book. Because the first one sold miserably. Because everyone hates you. And they still hate you. Now go away.
I agree with everything Kaiser wrote. That is all.
I hate this b!tch so much. Her sole motivation is publicity and greed. I don’t believe for a minute her apology is sincere. It is self serving and insensitive….can’t she just shut up and finally give Elizabeth’s children some peace? They don’t deserve to have their father’s mid-life crisis/self sabotage & their Mother’s public humiliation brought up whenever “Rielle” needs a cash infusion or takes another stab at relevancy. I find it quite telling that she didn’t make this great admission while Elizabeth was alive.
If she wants to publicly apologize donate the proceeds of her lame book to cancer research. Those pics are disgusting btw
What a gutless skank. Poor little kid having that for a mother. No forgiveness you insincere idiot. And….what Kaiser said +100!!
I heard they were still together too. Does anyone have confirmation of this? I’d hate to be Cate, sounds like she had two crazy parents…I hate John’s smarmy look he gives all the time. Thank god he has gone away quietly. He has a massive ego and got it fed more by this woman. I don’t get why women attack her, yes she has an ego too, but IMO we need to condemn the party in a relationship far more than one that is not.
I think her apology seems very sincere.
I don’t like her but I believe her.
It’s not great that she has a book but, hey, I’m sure she needs the money. The apology is heartfelt and humble – you can’t fake that.
My heart is telling me she’s being sincere, but my head knows better. This has more to do with selling books and extending her 15 minutes of fame, than any heartfelt apology.
She will be sorry when she has to go to Wal-Mart for an outfit to wear to her infomercial audition. She’ll use the money to lawyer up and get her gag order lifted.
Soul-less, insincere, vapid, delusional, bobble headed skankbag. And its too bad I cant say what I really think.
“I’m the product of infidelity”. “My parents cheated on each other”
So she comes from a long line of whores. Got it!
She should have given this apology to Elizabeth Edwards, in person. Before Elizabeth Edwards passed away.
Its too late now.
I only have one thing to say..f^ck that whore.
And yes I mean whore. It’s one thing to sleep with a married man, it’s a whole other story when you flaunt it publicly to his family. Posing with the sex hair and men’s shirt on what is supposed to be your child’s bed with stuffed animals?? This chick is disgusting. Pure trash.
