"We are a family, but as of the end of last week, John Edwards and I are no longer a couple," Hunter said. "We decided together to end it."
Hunter has been very vocal about her six-year affair with Edwards while doing press for her book, available in stores on Tuesday. 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 “20/20’s” Chris Cuomo last week, during her first interview since Edwards' acquittal on charges of accepting illegal campaign contributions. She said Edwards told her he had had other mistresses -- that she was not the first.
In truth, she said she’s doing this all for her 4-year-old daughter 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."

Go away, Rielle - raise your daughter and shut up.
I'm sick and tired of Rielle Hunter saying "We all made mistakes." Hunter's book is all about the mistakes Rielle Hunter thinks Elizabeth Edwards made. In the book, Hunter paints herself the innocent victim, Johnny the weak sissy without a penis and Elizabeth Edwards is Hitler. Rielle Hunter is a psycho. If people didn't know it before, she confirmed it beyond a doubt in her book. Poor Quinn. That poor kid doesn't have a chance.
How can Rielle have the nerve to say that John & Elizabeth's marriage was not working. She also, makes a huge mistake in saying "11 year marriage"! This dummy doesn't think her lies are noticed and she'll make herself look better. John may have told her that he and Elizabeth had some problems...but isn't that what most married men say to have an affair with a woman? Rielle is really a "nervy B...." to say some of the filth that she does. She is just digging her grave deeper & deeper by her actions and lies! Rielle has no idea of what went on in the marriage of John & Elizabeth! Rielle was jealous of the rich marriage between John and Elizabeth. They made years of beautiful memories and shared and built a great life together and for their children. Rielle doesn't even show any embarasemt or feel she did anything wrong...soooo sick!
It doesn't matter if they had a troubled marriage. They were still married and that means you were a MISTRESS and a HOMEWRECKER and your book is full of lies so burn it, no one cares about you.
YOU ARE A MISTRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. OWN IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULDN'T BUY
YOUR BOOK IF YOU PAID ME. YOU ARE JUST LOOKING FOR MORE MONEY AND WANT
IT FROM US. I HOPE YOUR BOOK IS A BIG FLOP. WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR AFFAIR WITH JOHN EDWARDS. IF YOU WERE REALLY IN LOVE WITH HIM YOU WOULD HAVE WAITED FOR HIS WIFE TO PASS AWAY BEFORE YOU WENT OUT WITH
HIM. YOU ARE ONE VERY SICK INDIVIDUAL. YOU WON'T END UP IN A HAPPY
RELATIONSHIP IF YOU KEEP THIS UP. SERVES YOU RIGHT. I HOPE JOHN EDWARDS DOESN'T GET BACK WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
John & Elizabeth Edwards were married for 33 years, 1977-2010, not 11 as stated in this article.
