Hunter Biden is Joe Biden’s only surviving son. Beau Biden passed away several years back, and it was widely known (in political/gossip circles) that Beau was “the good one” and that Hunter was and is the mess. Hunter is the one who got kicked out of the Navy for flunking a drug test. Hunter is the one who – pardon me, Democrats, but I need to say this – has unseemly and shady international business deals wherein he completely profits from his father’s name. Hunter is the one who dated Beau’s widow for a time and then as soon as they broke up, he eloped with some much-younger woman he only knew for a matter of DAYS. Around the time of Hunter’s sudden elopement, he was dealing with another messy tabloid drama: an Arkansas woman was suing him to get him to take a paternity test. Hunter claimed he never slept with this woman. But he still took the court-ordered paternity test. Guess what?
A DNA test shows that Hunter Biden fathered a child with an Arkansas woman, according to court papers filed on Wednesday. The test established Biden’s paternity with “scientific certainty,” the child’s mom, Lunden Alexis Roberts, said in in a motion posted online by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Biden, son of Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden, has denied having had sex with Roberts and agreed to the test last month in a bid to prove he didn’t father her unidentified child. He’s “not expected to challenge the results of the DNA test or the testing process,” according to Roberts’ filing in Arkansas’ Independence County Circuit Court.
Roberts’ child was born in August 2018, while Hunter was in a relationship with Hallie Biden, the widow of his late older brother Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015. The onetime in-laws began dating in 2017 but broke up in April, Page Six exclusively reported at the time. Roberts filed her paternity suit in May, about two weeks after Hunter, 49, married Melissa Cohen, 33, following a whirlwind, six-day romance.
Lunden Alexis Roberts’ lawyer spoke to the media yesterday and said that Hunter Biden had left Roberts with no choice but to seek the paternity test, and now she’s seeking back child support and some kind of settlement. Her lawyer also claimed that Hunter only denied paternity of the child when he suddenly stopped financially supporting her and she filed the claim. The lawyer said Roberts “really does not want this to be a media spectacle. She does not want this to affect Joe Biden’s campaign. She just wants this baby to get financial support from the baby’s father.” People Magazine has a lot more – go here to read.
So, yeah. Hunter is still a mess and he got caught in a really obvious lie. None of this is really about Joe Biden, and yet it is? I’ve felt like Hunter Biden would sink his father’s candidacy for months now, and I guess everything is finally catching up. (Of course, Joe Biden is doing a good job sinking his candidacy all on his own.)

He had been providing support for this child until he stopped then he denied ever having sex with the mother? What exactly did he think he would accomplish with that lie? He’s the messiest of messy people.
So, did he impregnate this woman while still being involved with his sister-in-law? Just trying to get the timing straight…
Yep. He cheated on Beau’s widow with this Roberts woman and got her preg, and I guess when Hallie found about the kid, that’s when their relationship was over. Then he married some young Instagram model he only knew for six days.
Like to each his own and all…
But gross.
Doesn’t surprise me. Hunter Biden is shady as hell, but I’m not putting that on his dad. I also hope his dad isn’t the nominee, but for other reasons, of course.
FHMom – IKR? Hunter Biden has absolutely no impact on my desire for Joe Biden to leave the race. Joe is accomplishing that all on his own.
Same here FHMom. He’s messy as hell, but he’s an adult and that’s on no one but him. But yeah, I don’t want Biden either. I’ll vote for him if he gets the nominations, but he’s very, very low on my preferred list.
Biden sure underperformed in the debate last night. On one hand I don’t see how he’ll be the nominee, but I won’t be surprised if he is. 🤔😝
That’s what I was gonna ask because the timing of it all means that yea he was sleeping with them both. Not exactly sure what the widow was thinking (yes I know grief will make you do crazy things) but hunter was a mess all his life and she knew that. I can’t imagine how the children are coping after their fathers/uncles death, mom starts sleeping with your uncle/father, they break up and then dad/uncle gets married to some rando and you find out dad/uncle got some other random woman pregnant while he was banging your mom/aunt!!! Seriously Wtf was this family thinking??! WONT ANYONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!! Kidding but my god did they ever think how screwed up this all was??
Why did the good Biden son have to die. God is mean.
I mean not excusing behavior, and just a theory here… but maybe this is what psychologically happens when it’s perpetuated that there is a “good one”, and one son doesn’t deserve to die more than the other.
Seems like a person might desperately seek validation and love in messy ways, and lie out of desperation for fear of losing said love.
Love your kids equally, people.
Well said.
In Joe Biden’s defense-he seems like he’s always been completely supportive and accepting of all of his kids. I don’t see where Hunter was treated as the “bad son.” (at least not publicly.)
Even if it was just publicly, and not from his home life, reading that everywhere would f me up for sure. I don’t think many are immune to that seeping into the psyche after hearing people all over the nation glaringly stating it. Hope he gets his crap figured out, and gets a giant dose of self awareness in the process, steps up, and takes care of his children.
I agree with you Mary. Joe has always seemed to love and support all of his kids equally. Hunter has been treated well by his father and the media for a very very long time when he clearly doesn’t deserve it.
Eh. My theory is bipolar.
The Biden family has had to deal with a lot of tragedies, Joe’s 1st wife and daughter were killed in a car accident when the boys were young. Joe seemed to have been supportive of both sons and I’m glad he’s not shunning the only living child he has left… I’m all for Biden stepping down and retiring, he shouldn’t run, but I won’t judge him because one of his kids is a mess.
Actually Joe and Jill Biden have a daughter, he has 2 living children.
Well, Hunter and Beau’s mother and baby sister died in a car accident that Hunter and Beau barely survived, that’s a pretty hard knock to take in life.
Had no idea about that. How very sad!
I would have never wanted Biden as the candidate but it’s still annoying that trump’s strategy of targeting Hunter Biden is working. If he doesn’t drop out and gets the nomination it’s going to be a mess. Republicans have all their ducks in a row for Biden. He is the absolute worst candidate in the race right now but he seems to have some decency so I really hope and pray that he’ll do us all a favor and go away.
It’s especially hypocritical given what the Trump offspring are doing. Involved in all kinds of government stuff they have no business being in, waved through on security clearances, etc.
That’s what I don’t understand. The Republicans are so good at throwing shade, God help us, remember Karl Rove? Yet the Trump kids are way sketchier and you don’t hear much about it and when you do, doesn’t even seem to last one 24 hour news cycle.
This, this, this, this, and this.
I feel the same exact way Ann.
Super messy. And asshole. Real cool, Hunter Biden. Support your child.
off topic – It is Funny tho bc whenever I see the name Hunter I get this feeling that dumb ass dump jr wishes his name was hunter. cuz he loves to kill animals. Sorry that is threadjacking.
This doesn’t surprise me, this is part of his behavior. Biden has spent years struggling with alcohol and drug abuse. I hate to say it ,but Hunter is going to be a problem for the Biden campaign. They won’t be able to keep him out of sight out of mind for too long.
Pardon me- nobody disputes that Hunter benefitted off his name. Democrats dispute that it is appropriate for desperately needed(and approved by congress) aid in the war Ukraine vs Russia to be held back so Trump can force them to smear Biden sr.
Maybe you havent been paying attention. But its kinda a big deal.
Thank you. This is more than undesirable gossip. This is Trump holding back *already promised* aid in exchange for info first on a fellow candidate. Its bigger than a smear campaign- it’s how he got the information
Bottom line…Hunter Biden should NOT have worked for Burisma…especially while his Father was VPOTUS…ESPECIALLY with all of the hellfire that was going on between Russia and the Ukraine and the US at the time…It LOOKED bad…PERIOD…because there was so much corruption and bad faith actors around ALL OF THAT during that time…and Joe knew FIRST HAND how messy it was from a geopolitical standpoint…and he should have SEEN that blowback…because remember…Joe was getting ALL that information regarding what Russia was doing in the U.S. too during that time period…
To me…it seems like Joe has a “blind spot” when it comes to Hunter…that he’s ALWAYS had a “blind spot” when it comes to Hunter…which has VERY often made Joe look complicit AF….
Hunter Biden is a gross and messy person with a bad moral compass and no business being involved on the board of any company because he’s obviously not very bright and whatever success he’s had is due to nepotism.
I do think that, regardless of the right or wrong of it (and the insane double standard given the criminality of 45*’ kids), Biden’s candidacy will be hurt by the optics of his awful failure of a son.
That said, I don’t want Biden as the nominee all on his own merits. I would love for Biden and (please please please!) Buttigieg to go away with their lukewarm ‘moderate’ positions.
I will of course vote for whoever the Dem nominee is, because in a contest between Biden and Satan I’ll go with Biden.
For me it’s not as simple as Democrats v Republicans. It’s progressives v corpratists. I’ll support Sanders or Warren and that’s it. Hopefully one of them gets the nomination because I don’t think a centrist Democrat can win.
I wish I could be ok with that kind of “purity test” voting, but I strongly disagree with you there (and I say that as someone who’s farther left of center than anyone I’ve met in the US so far. Like, old school anarchist Marxist feminist left). We can’t afford to let Trump win by refusing to get out and vote for a Dem nominee we don’t like.
I agree completely that the corporatist, capitalist-friendly options are not good. But it was people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary because of some purity test (and misogyny) that helped get us where we are today. This is the time for realpolitik, as ugly as it is.
@Estonian Bot:
Check out The Young Turks YouTube channel. Warren sounds good but she ain’t that progressive. Still, I felt she won the debate last night, but she’s too emotional and a bit too anecdotal in my opinion and for my taste.
@Lindy: Or just nominate a progressive candidate.
🎤He just took a DNA test… turns out he’s 100% that shady. 🎼
Read something about this several months ago. Hunter is a mess.
With the exception of the almost universally vile Drumpfs, most politicians usually just have one dubious, dodgy relation. There’s always ONE.
