Hunter’s affair with Edwards was first exposed by the National Enquirer. It took Edwards two years to admit that he is the father of Hunter’s daughter.

A federal grand jury in North Carolina is currently investigating Edwards, whose wife Elizabeth has left him.

Hunter’s most recent interview ended in controversy. She posed for a GQ photo shoot and after the magazine was published Hunter said she cried for two hours about the racy pictures.

She was wearing nothing but a white collared shirt and string of pearls. In one photo she is not wearing pants.

GQ strongly defended the photo shoot and Hunter’s implication that she didn’t realize what the photos would show. The magazine even released a video of the photo shoot with the photographer asking Hunter, “Do you want to take a look at this.”

Hunter believes that Oprah will understand her better than the other journalists who were vying for the interview, a source close to her said.



There is never a justifcation for an affair. If you are unhappy in a relationship, finalize that relationship before moving on to the next.

Oprah just demonstrated again how exploitative she can be when people have a tragedy in their lives. Image how Elizabeth, her family and this innocent child will feel about years from now. Thank goodness her tv program is going to end soon.

And you believed what that man wrote? Is that what you'd want in life? Someone who pretended to be your closest friend for 10 yrs. and then crapped all over you and stole your things giving some of it to the press? Don't be so gullible.

Why give women like this a voice? It's irresponsible journalism.

Oprah is a first rate piece of crap. This situation was finally starting to go away and here she is reviving it and making Elisabeth even sicker. Shame on her. Oprah is not the kind woman everyone thinks she is!

With Oprah"s noisiness and Reille's big mouth, what a glamorous pair!! I'm so sick of Oprah, she has to be the nosiest woman on TV. She is nothing but a ratings hound. Glad she'll be gone soon.

No wonder that ho picked Oprah. Oprah's the wimpiest, softball interviewer on TV. All Oprah cares about is being first. She's a sorry excuse for a journalist, she isn't one, she's a TV talk show host, like Maury.

If Elisabeth a control freak, cheating should not be a reason to wreck your family.That is a lame excuse for a father.JE is setting a bad example to his children,that including his kid with his mistress.
