Elizabeth Edwards on Larry King Live about Resilience and more
Elizabeth Edwards, ex-wife of former U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate, John Edwards, breakes up her silence on John’s affair and her cancer.
John Edwards is already a walking disgrace, having cheated on his cancer-stricken wife with Rielle Hunter, knocking up his weird mistress, trying to cover the scandal up, and lying about it repeatedly while running for President of the United States.
The story of his affair and love child with Rielle Hunter were ignored, dismissed, and ignored again until finally being vindicated by mainstream media.
The significance of the story, the New York Times notes, is the fact that Democratic Party came dangerously close to nominating this man for the presidency.
This would have been a disgrace of unparalleled proportions.
Elizabeth Edwards talked with Larry King about a short memoir titled “Resilience”, about her marriage, about John’s affair and about her fight with cancer.
Elizabeth writes that she did not learn her husband had lied about the extend of his affair until more than a year later.
When she learned of her husband’s infidelity, “I cried and screamed, I went to the bathroom and threw up,” but “John has his own life now”.
Regarding John and Rielle Hunter daughter, named Frances Quinn Hunter, Elizabeth said that she is open on meeting her and John’s relationship with Frances, as she loves children very much. “I think she seems like a really nice child”, Elizabeth said.
Also, asked about Al Gore’s separation, “it makes me sad I found about the both of them”.
Talking about her fight with cancer, Elizabeth Edwards told Larry King that “I try really not to focus on what the end is going to look like” and advices anyone who is in this unfortunate position “as long as you’re not dead now, you’re alive and you have to fight for it”.
Elizabeth Edwards is the most self-serving narcissist ever. Please, her children have not even met the illegitimate child she claims to “care” about. She’s pathetic. And you can see she’s mean as a snake….whew..I’d run around too and I’m not even a man! Sorry, but she really irks me with her “holier than thou, can’t you see what a wonderful person I am…” NO. that’s not what I see at all. you’re delusional and mentally ill..Sorry, I never write on these blogs but she got to me.
You are obviously not married and therefore cannot know what it is like to go through a divorce, fight cancer and have your entire life made public because your husband cheated on you. Why should Elizabeth or her children get to know their half-sister? She is not part of their lives and I hope will never be as she will always be a reminder to them of how her mother (Rielle) broke up their marriage. Rielle is weak because she should have said to John to come back to her once he is divorced otherwise I can definitely say he would still be married to Elizabeth. And yes, I also went through the same thing and when I found out my friends had set me up with a married blind-date, I left the restaurant and him. I would never, ever want to be the cause of such incredible hurt to anyone that I went through with my divorce. Rielle knew what she was doing when she chatted him up and when she fell pregnant. She is supposed to be a womand of the world. Why then did she not take precautions to avoid falling pregnant and I don’t and never will believe that she did not know John was married. He was so in the spotlight with his political career. Yes, Elizabeth can and has every right to be “holier than thou” because she is not the “slut”. She also did not pose in GQ magazine half dressed and trying to look sexy. Rielle did this for her own selfish purposes and the money the magazine would pay her. What an inheritance Rielle is leaving for her daughter. As for John, he is also a slut because he could have told Rielle (if she did’nt know) he was married. I only hope that you, Christine, never have to go through what Elizabeth suffered. Divorce is bad enough, nevermind having to fight cancer as well.
