Rielle Hunter Sets Stage for Life With ‘Johnny’?

Big Monday morning splash in the ongoing tabloid saga of Rielle Hunter and John Edwards, the politician-turned-adulterer-turned-new-father we now know she calls "Johnny." GQ has the full interview and suggestive photos, which you can read and see here — a story teased this morning as only a New York Post cover story can. Among the many intimate details she shares are their ongoing love for one another; how they ended up in bed the first night they met; and her belief that the former presidential candidate hoped she would abort the pregnancy. She also took aim at Elizabeth Edwards, claiming the politician's fear of his wife kept him from confronting marital problems. "And you know, the wrath of Elizabeth is a mighty wrath," Hunter told GQ. Hunter said nothing of the alleged sex tape featuring the two. Other players in the scandal, including Elizabeth, and Andrew Young, who at first claimed paternity of the child, have not yet commented. Neither has "Johnny," though Hunter claims he is "very supportive" of her finally speaking out. Also revealed was her claim that a second cell phone — a decoy she purchased for the politician — outed their affair, when Elizabeth found it, dialed the last number, and was greeted by Hunter's "Hey, baby." Another high-profile example of "Digital Lipstick" exposing someone's philandering ways.
