JOHN EDWARDS BOMBSHELL 911 PHONE CALL FLEW MISTRESS RIELLE HUNTER & LOVE CHILD TO VIRGIN ISLANDS

The National Enquirer claims they have proof that John Edwards was lying during his Nightline interview.

UPDATE: PHOTO OF JOHN EDWARDS BABY FRANCES HUNTER ADDED

We knew Edwards was lying when he said that he was holding every other baby but his own in the grainy Enquirer photo. Click here to listen to Rielle Hunter's 911 phone call

The day prior to Edwards bombshell admission to an affair on ABC’s Nightline, Rielle Hunter and her 6 month old daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, were flown out of the US onboard a chartered Learjet.

The private flight cost $50,000 and was paid for by Edwards’ pals.  The Hunters were the solo passengers aboard the eight-hour flight.

Destination: St. Croix in the Virgin Islands!

THE ENQUIRER tracked Rielle to St. Croix where our reporters discovered Rielle and the baby stayed in a luxurious oceanfront home owned by controversial trial lawyer Lee Rohn, another close friend of Edwards.

When visited by an ENQUIRER reporter on August 15, Rohn snapped a terse “No comment!” when questioned about Hunter.

Former Virgin Island Senator Anne Golden confirmed to THE ENQUIRER that “within 24 hours of their arrival that they were here and staying with Lee Rohn.”

After the ENQUIRER discovered Rielle’s hideaway with Rohn, she was moved to a motel on the island before returning to Santa Barbara on August 17 according to another source. 

An ENQUIRER reporter then saw Rielle back in her California home, which is being paid for by Edwards’ former finance chairman Fred Baron.

And Rielle now has an off-duty police officer guarding her house. 

None of this is paid for by Rielle.  The money continues to come from Edwards’s network of loyal supporters, with no explanation from Edwards why he is having his friends continue to support Rielle now that the affair has been made public.

Edwards is not only aware of the hush money payoffs but orchestrated it with his team of former campaign advisors and now The ENQUIRER has discovered that a team of six more lawyers have been involved in the coverup and are funneling payments to Hunter, who has no money and no means of support.

The ENQUIRER has also learned that Hunter's own lawyer advised her to allow Edwards to take a paternity test but she refused out of misguided belief that Edwards will marry her after the death of his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth. source

John Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter has been described as a "party girl".  She commented in an interview with Newsweek about Edwards' dying wife Elizabeth Edwards that she "didn't give off good energy" . Rielle also told the reporter that she was pitching a television show  about women who help men with their marriages by having affairs with them.

"Do you talk about this stuff with the candidate?" I asked. "All the time," Rielle replied. "I'll lecture him on it when he's getting too much up in here," she said, gesturing toward her head. "He'll see a look on my face and say, 'Yes, I know, Rielle, "Power of Now" says …' " Rielle wanted me to know all these things because she wanted me to write about them. For the past five months, she said, she'd been traveling with Edwards with a video crew, capturing him in a variety of settings, public and private. She had cut her footage together into a series of short films, "Webisodes" that would run on the Internet. She hoped that with her unique eye for Edwards's true potential, she could show the world the real John Edwards and, in the process, help him to become the better version of himself. She wondered if I might be interested in writing a story. "Sure," I said, "if you let me see the films, we can talk about that."          

By this point, we were each well into our second glass of wine. "So tell me," I asked, "what do you think of Elizabeth Edwards?" "I've only met her once," Rielle said. "She does not give off good energy. She didn't make eye contact with me."

         

At lunch at the Soho House in late spring of '07, Rielle told me that she and novelist Jay McInerney were working on a "genius" idea for a television show about women who help men get out of failing marriages by having affairs with them. She said they wanted to pitch this idea to Darren Star, creator of "Melrose Place" and "Sex and the City." At lunch early that summer, I asked Rielle if she was dating anyone. She answered simply, "I'm in love." I asked, "Who with?" "I can't tell you," she said, "but maybe someday we'll all be friends." source

JOHN EDWARDS MISTRESS RIELLE HUNTER WON'T GET PATERNITY DNA TEST NIGHTLINE EXTRA INTERVIEW VIDEO

John Edwards Nightline "Affair" interview Part 1

John Edwards' mistress is refusing to get a paternity test to prove that Edwards is her baby daddy. Watch Rielle Hunter's Extra Interview and the John Edwards Nightline Adultery videos if you missed the show. John Edwards lied his way through the Nightline interview and repeatedly called the National Enquirer a "supermarket tabloid." Ironically the "tabloid" was the publication which pursued and broke the John Edwards affair and "love child" story.  The most interesting part was Edwards' lame explanation for why he wasn't holding his baby and how he couldn't tell that it was him in the National Enquirer photos. Edwards also repeatedly lied about his affair before appearing on Nightline so it is obvious that he walks a slippery slope when it comes to the truth.

John Edwards Nightline "Affair" interview Part 2

Edwards says that he doesn't know how many babies he has held during his political career and there was no proof it was him in the pics. Can you believe that John Edwards is denying his kid and he received the "Father of the Year Award in 2007"?

He has an affair with Hunter, while he’s honing his speech on the imperative to “live in a moral, honest, just America.” A married former aide says he’s the father when she gets pregnant, even though she’s telling people Edwards is the dad. And one of his campaign donors pays off Hunter to get her resettled with the baby out of North Carolina. But the Breck Girl wants a gold star for the fact that he sent his marriage into remission when his wife was in remission. That’s special. source

John Edwards was starting to sound like Bill Clinton when he explained his affair during the Monica Lewinsky scandal by saying, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

Edwards admitted to meeting Hunter last month at the Beverly Hilton hotel, where he was sighted by National Enquirer reporters, but denied that he had fathered her child. He had agreed to meet her and a male friend for the sole purpose of convincing her to keep the affair quiet. "I didn't want the public to know what I had done," he said in what was perhaps the most courageous moment of the interview -- affairs are bad for politicians, but cover-ups are worse.

But then he got a little slippery when asked about the photo the Enquirer had printed, which they claim is Edwards holding Hunter's baby daughter. The picture is blurry and Edwards says he has no idea who it is. Fair enough, but when Woodruff asked him if he remembered holding Hunter's baby, his answer was just plain squirrelly.

"You asked me about that photograph. I don't know anything about that photograph," he said, as if taking his cues from the Watergate hearings. "I don't know who that baby is.... I was not at this meeting holding a child for my photograph to be taken, I can tell you that." source

Rielle Hunter's past as a New York party girl into sex and drugs has been revealed. Newsweek has a story on the mysterious woman who has ruined John Edwards' political career.

The flaky filmmaker who John Edwards risked his political future and his family for is a former "party-girl" who went from narcotics to nirvana.Rielle Hunter's resume also includes actress, producer, new age blogger - and now, homewrecker. A Florida native, the 43-year-old divorcee grew up in well-to-do household - but is now deep in debt, a source told The Post.

Hunter, born Lisa Druck, first turned up in New York in the 80's, where she hooked up with novelist Jay McInerney."She used to be a real party girl," he told Page Six. "When she wasn't out at nightclubs, she was taking acting classes. "We dated for only a few months, but in that period, I spent a lot of time with her and her friends, whose behavior intrigued and appalled me to such an extent that I ended up basing a novel on the experience." The book was called "Story of My Life."

In 2005 she caught the eye her soon to be politician paramour at the Regency Hotel bar.

She was out with a group, drinking "like an old cougar fool," Page Six's source said. "She's an idiot, a fool, a moron, a faux-guru, but not mean-spirited." source

According to Broadcasting & Cable John Edwards was not happy about how ABC handled the exclusive Nightline interview. During the interview Edwards confessed to the affair and said that he would  be “happy to participate” in a paternity test.

The woman who had an extramarital affair with former presidential candidate John Edwards won't seek a paternity test to prove whether he's the father of her 5-month-old child, her lawyer said Saturday. In a statement he provided to the Washington Post, attorney Robert Gordon said that Rielle Hunter is a private citizen and that she will not comment further on the media frenzy sparked Friday when Edwards publicly acknowledged the affair.

"She wishes to maintain her privacy" and the privacy of her child, Gordon said in the statement. "Furthermore, Rielle will not participate in DNA testing or any other invasion of her ... privacy now or in the future."

Gordon said Saturday that he would not immediately be releasing the statement to anyone else and will not be doing interviews about it.

After months of denying the affair, Edwards admitted making "a serious error in judgment" in 2006 when he had an affair with Hunter, a filmmaker who worked making videos for his presidential campaign. source

According to novelist Jay McInerney, Rielle Hunter has a wild past of sex and drugs, so legendary that he had to chronicle them in a novel, "Story of My Life." Before moving to Los Angeles and beginning life as a film producer, she was known as Lisa Druck, a New York City party girl. According to the NY Daily News, she confessed to her sordid past on her Web site Being is Free, which was deleted from the Internet last April, soon after she ended her professional relationship with former presidential candidate John Edwards. i suppose since she hooked a powerful married politician, she had to become a lady. Hah! Parts of the Web site have been preserved by Deceiver.com and TheHuffingtonPost.com, including an interview with Hunter's ex-boyfriend McInerney, who based the main character Alison Poole on Hunter in his novel.

"It was narrated in the first person," McInerney wrote on Hunter's Web site about his novel, "from the point of view of an ostensibly jaded, cocaine-addled, sexually voracious 20-year-old who was, shall we say, inspired by Lisa [Rielle]."

According to the NY Daily News the back cover of McInerney's novel, first published in 1988, describes Rielle's alter ego as "a budding actress already fatally well-versed in hopping the clubs, shopping Chanel, falling in and out of lust, and abusing other people's credit cards."

A former pal of Hunter's confirms her partying past saying she used to hang out at Nell's nightclub where there was a big drug scene. Enter religion--she claims she found spiritual enlightenment and gave up drugs and partying after moving to Los Angeles, admitting on her Web site, "I was in a state of ecstasy for about a week and realized what I was looking for, in terms of medication, was inside of me; it was a higher bliss. "With that clearing, all desire for drugs or alcohol vanished. I became sober overnight.""And then I became a spiritual seeker, addicted to a higher consciousness, addicted to enlightenment." But still a ho! source
