John Edwards is about to release a public statement admitting paternity of the out-of-wedlock daughter he fathered with mistress Rielle Hunter, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
It’s the final gasp for Edwards, who has incrementally coughed up the truth only when confronted with irrefutable evidence during the course of his affair being revealed.
Edwards wants to make his announcement before his former aide Andrew Young appears in an ABC interview and reveals how he pretended to be the baby’s father as a favor to Edwards.
Young has written a book about the situation and his interview with ABC is scheduled to air next Friday but could be moved forward.
Edwards decided it would be less damaging for him to admit paternity via a statement before Young trumpeted the news during a network TV interview.
Edwards has strenuously – and at times ridiculously – denied paternity of Frances Quinn, who is about to turn two years old.
But the National Enquirer, which broke the story of the ex-Senator’s affair, recently published documents showing that Hunter and her lawyer were working on a child support settlement with Edwards in the Spring of 2009.
When Edwards admitted his infidelity during a Nightline interview last year he strenuously denied paternity of the child, said timing made it “impossible” and even dissembled when confronted with an Enquirer photo of himself with his infant daughter. “I don't know who that baby is,” Edwards said.
I wonder if he spends any time with the little girl. She's a cute little girl, and she can't help the circumstances of her conception.
yes. children are precious. i am glad he is taking ownership for being her father.
Classy. Real classy.
He was almost the VP.
2 Americas.
2 women.
2 faces.
Sadly, the baby can’t help, either, that her mother is a loon, who lives on a distant planet. And the less said about her father, the better.
but according to Elizabeth, this child has nothing to do with her... it changes nothing for her... so i guess the child will not be coming to Daddy’s house for weekend visits while Elizabeth is living...
Who will he invite to the rooftop wedding with Rielle Hunter, where the Dave Matthews Band serenades the couple?
Loser ...
Something tells me that baby would be better off raised by wolves...
The “Love Child” should sue for defamation, slander, libel, and anything else she can get away with.
She is a poker chip the mother is trading for $$$$$$$.
The mother is a smarter whore than the plaintiffs’ attorney.
“Something tells me that baby would be better off raised by wolves”...
You’re right. The poor kid is being raised by Rats now.
You know, I don’t get Edwards ($$$) and Hunter (bleh).
He could have done better ($$$). I see 65 year old men who resemble Gomer Pyle strolling babies in my neighborhood and then I find out they’re the
Daddy ($.01).
He took the chance of losing his LIFE on someone whose mediocre.
Sociologists need to spend all their federal dollars and study this.
How about a Pulitzer for the Enquirer?
Wolves, not ponies?
This guy Edwards was a LEGITIMATE threat to become the liberals’ choice for President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. He was only a few hundred votes away from the Vice Presidency in 2000!
Liberals... I would LMAO at those assclowns if they weren’t so dangerous.
John who?
Rats only talk when they are backed into a corner, he gets no pat on the back from me, he’s a louse & a true rat liar & crooked ambulance chaser!!!
I guess that depends what your definition of IS is?
