EXCLUSIVE: John Edwards Admitting Paternity Of Love Child
Posted on Jan 21, 2010 @ 06:56AM
John Edwards is about to release a public statement admitting paternity of the out-of-wedlock daughter he fathered with mistress Rielle Hunter, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
It’s the final gasp for Edwards, who has incrementally coughed up the truth only when confronted with irrefutable evidence during the course of his affair being revealed.
EXCLUSIVE: Read The Documents That Prove John Edwards Is Father Of Love Child
Edwards wants to make his announcement before his former aide Andrew Young appears in an ABC interview and reveals how he pretended to be the baby’s father as a favor to Edwards.
Young has written a book about the situation and his interview with ABC is scheduled to air next Friday but could be moved forward.
Edwards decided it would be less damaging for him to admit paternity via a statement before Young trumpeted the news during a network TV interview.

Edwards has strenuously – and at times ridiculously – denied paternity of Frances Quinn, who is about to turn two years old.
But the National Enquirer, which broke the story of the ex-Senator’s affair, recently published documents showing that Hunter and her lawyer were working on a child support settlement with Edwards in the Spring of 2009.
When Edwards admitted his infidelity during a Nightline interview last year he strenuously denied paternity of the child, said timing made it “impossible” and even dissembled when confronted with an Enquirer photo of himself with his infant daughter. “I don't know who that baby is,” Edwards said.

If you saw Elizabeth six years ago, then you know she'd already been through cancer and its treatment. That takes a toll on a body. Attraction or loss off had nothing to do with John's decisions or those he's made since...

OK, the guy's a disgrace but he would have been just as much a disgrace in the eyes of the public for divorcing a wife with cancer for this woman. Not that I'm de****ng him or anything, I'm just sayin'....

That's true - he was going to look like an ass, regardless. Still, he could just kept it in his pants until her treatments were over and divorced later. Or gotten a vasectomy, at the very least, so no child had to suffer him as a father.

What a joke he is, and all men like him. His mistress is pathetic also.

were I the child, I think at this point I'd be DENYING paternity. he's such a disgrace.

Once she's old enough, she probably will, especially if he's as dishonest with her as he has been with the women in his life. And why wouldn't he be? He's hardly likely to become an honest person now.

Oh, and I think I speak for the majority of us on here when I say to "KINM": If John wasn't attracted to his WIFE anymore, then he should have asked for a divorce, like a real MAN....Not run around and knocked up some wackjob mistress.

Oh right.....and the public would have respected him all the more for divorcing a wife with cancer for his mistress, right? I don't think so.....

No, but maybe he could have just not had the mistress while his wife had cancer? He could have seen his wife through and then left if he was so unhappy.
