In more excerpts from Rielle Hunter’s upcoming interview with Chris Cuomo for the ABC show “20/20,” the infamous mistress said being in bed with John Edwards was intense.
"Something happened internally with me. I responded... I have not experienced it or felt what was happening before. Ever. An intensity, like a rock concert. A lot of energy," Hunter told Cuomo, her first interview since Edwards' acquittal on charges of accepting illegal campaign contributions.
All this week Hunter has been very vocal about her six-year affair with the former presidential candidate, as she promotes her tell-all, "What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me," to be published June 26.
Defending her actions, Hunter insisted she’s not a home wrecker and that Edwards’ 11-year marriage to wife, Elizabeth, who died from breast cancer in 2010, was troubled before the affair began.
"Their marriage was ruined before I got there. Years before I got there," Hunter told Cuomo. She said Edwards told her he had had other mistresses -- that she was not the first.
Hunter also talks about their 4-year-old daughter, Quinn, and how she is speaking out now for Quinn’s sake. "I feel for both my daughter and for all the kids involved, the full truth needs to be in the public domain," Rielle said. "Their father's not a demon and their mother's not a saint. And I'm not a home wrecker. We're real human beings. And there is a real dynamic that was going on, good and bad. And we all made mistakes."

Mistress, huh. Not the first time I have seen "whore" spelled m-i-s-t-r-e-s-s and I'm sure it won't be the last. Rielle trashing a woman with a terminal illness that took her life proves she is a despicable individual. So is John Edwards. She passes it off by saying the marriage was in trouble before she came along. Why is that relevant? Is that an excuse to have an affair with a married man that has a wife with cancer and then gets knocked up (planned, I'm sure) by this married man. She should have sent him home to his cancer stricken wife. A whore is a whore is a whore, I don't care how you spell it. And that picture of her. Puh-leeze. That woman NEVER looked that good. Wonder how much all that plastic surgery set Johnny Boy back.
Rielle Hunter you will never be anything but a MISTRESS. Your comments on Edwards wife was nothing but awful. you should be ashamed of yourself. Get on with your life and leave the dead alone.
oh THROW UP .. the ugly tramp was a ho' and a half and the moron Johnny Edwards sniffed his way to extention. We hate him more each time. Obviously Elizabeth was the brains of the family and sad after their son passed, she had two children in her 50's to recapture the family for him and for Cate who lost those siblings. ELIZABETH HAD THE FAMILY FOR JOHN AND SHE GOT CANCER FROM HAVING THEM SO LATE IN LIFE. DO NOT BUY RIELLE HUNTERS REAL STORY for it's all lies as is her new face he made sure to have face lifted when the lights were on. Josh has money and that's all Rielle wants and he's her only chance to get it ... she was never a certified photographer or anything else. She's a dud and a whore who gives great blow .. oh and the cocaine she took for ten years .. what a good girl she is .. BS
Well, Rielle what goes around comes around & you will get your's also. If you were truly a WOMAN, you would of told John to go to his dying wife's bedside rather than using her name & presenting a wonderful image of family life to the country in order to boast himself in the public eye. Not only was he a cheat but a lier and you...if it looks like a homewrecker and someone who doesn't know real love, charity and compassion, smells like an adulterer who has no regret than you are one of the least attractive females in the world now.
That "intensity" she was feeling was because she was with a man who was CHEATING on his wife and destroying his own career.All about the "drama" she caused and not due to any "feelings" she had or has for John Edwards.She was placed in his path so he would fail..good work,John.
Rielle is a true B....! She has no care or empathy for anyone. Rielle is as cold as they come, and doesn't have any morals. She keeps wanting to make it look right/good that she and John had sex and a child. He could have had done this with any woman and she's too dumb to know it. She's "playing it" for all she can. Problem is, everyone can see through her and dirty ways. She's a greedy, filthy low life! I feel sorry for her
daughter. I'm sure if she hadn't gotten pregnant, John wouldn't be around her. The Daughter is her "ace in the hole". Knowing that Elizabeth was dying makes it even wors.
gagging
And I'm sure sex with Rielle Hunter was like having sex with a rock.
The nerve of Rielle Hunter to call John Edwards late wife "a witch", etc., how is a woman suppose to act, her husband not only had sex with something as low as Rielle Hunter but he conceived a child (which I'm sure was well planned by Rielle Hunter), John Edwards wife, children and this sweet, innocent little girl are the victims, so come on Rielle give us a break, you're no Angelina Jolie.
