Before she died, Elizabeth Edwards carefully crafted a devastating 3-pronged plan of revenge to punish John Edwards for betraying her with Rielle Hunter, and then lying about it for months before finally telling her the truth. See How to Get a Cheater to Tell You the Truth about His Affair
If the details in the National Enquirer are to be believed, Elizabeth used her parting statements to John on her deathbed, the arrangements for her funeral, and the amendments to her will to ensure that John Edwards will pay for cheating on her for the rest of his life.
A Well Thought Out 3-Pronged Plan of Revenge
Though she struggled to forgive John Edwards for his affair, and urges her children, her friends, and the public to the same, for Elizabeth Edwards that forgiveness never came.
Elizabeth bided her time and carefully plotted her revenge on John Edwards, Rielle Hunter, and John and Rielle’s lovechild, 2-year-old little Quinn.
As reported in the National Enquirer, which first broke the story about John Edwards and Rielle Hunter’s affair, below are the details of Elizabeth Edwards 3-pronged master-plan of revenge.
On Elizabeth Edwards’ Deathbed
As she lay dying, Elizabeth Edwards took steps to ensure that John Edwards understood the full import of how deeply he’d hurt her with his affair. She even sent a message to his mistress, Rielle.
During his bedside vigil in in Elizabeth Edwards final hours, John Edwards repeatedly begged his betrayed wife for her forgiveness. But she adamantly refuse to forgive her cheating husband for his affair. It was reported that as she lay dying Elizabeth angrily screamed at John: “You ruined my life — I’ll NEVER forgive you!’ – words that will probably haunt him for the rest of his life. See Elizabeth Edwards Got Her Revenge on John Edwards Before She Died andSee Rielle Hunter and Other Modern Day Mistresses Who Ruined Their Lover’s Lives Elizabeth Edwards also unleashed her anger at her husband’s mistress before she died. An insider told close to the family told the National Enquirer that Elizabeth Edwards cursed Rielle Hunter, yelling at John that Rielle should know that for destroying their family, she would “rot in Hell.”
At Elizabeth Edwards’ Funeral
Elizabeth Edwards’ funeral arranged were designed to further punish and humiliate John Edwards.
While John Edwards was permitted to attend Elizabeth’s funeral and sit up front with their three children, he was not allowed to speak. Elizabeth Edwards was eulogized by their 28-year-old daughter Cate and two of Elizabeth’s closest friends. Insiders told the National Enquirer that Elizabeth Edwards deliberately excluded John Edwards from any official role.
To add insult to injury, John Edwards name was not mentioned anywhere on the printed funeral program which the mourners received.
In Elizabeth Edwards’ Will
Elizabeth Edwards’ will was cleverly amended to exact the ultimate revenge to all parties involved – John Edwards, Rielle Hunter and even little Quinn, as you will see from the details below. See Elizabeth Edwards Will Amended to Heap Further Revenge on John Edwards and How to Legally and Financially Get Revenge on a Cheating Mate
Elizabeth Edwards amended her will so that if John Edwards marries, or even lives with his mistress, Rielle Hunter, he will forfeit a sizeable portion of the couple’s $53 million fortune. See As America Mourned Elizabeth Edwards, Rielle Hunter Envisioned Marrying John. Elizabeth’s amended will also stipulates that John Edwards cannot call off the sale of their multi-million family mansion in Chapel Hill and move in with his mistress, Rielle and their daughter, Quinn.
Under the terms of Elizabeth’s Edwards’ will, both the family mansion in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and the family’s vacation home on Figure Eight Island, are now off-limits to her husband’s mistress, Rielle Hunter.
In her amended will, Elizabeth Edwards also seeks to ban little Quinn – John and Rielle’s lovechild – from ever seeing or even coming in contact with her 12-year-old half- sister, Emma Claire, and her 10-year-old half-brother, Jack, - John and Elizabeth’s two youngest children.
Elizabeth Edwards further restructured her will in such a way that John’s lovechild, little Quinn is cut off from ever receiving any of the funds intended for the Edwards children, Jack, Emma Claire, and Cate.
In one final act of revenge, Elizabeth arranged things so that John Edwards is banned from making any major decisions regarding his own children, Jack and Emma Claire, unless he has the approval his 28-year-old daughter, Cate.
Those Closest to Elizabeth Edwards Probably Never Knew
Elizabeth Edwards put on a brave front for her children, the public and those around her.
It appears that Elizabeth’s closest friends had no idea how her heart was savaged and ripped apart by her husband’s affair. See Elizabeth Edwards Showed Us Infidelity from the Betrayed Wife’s Point of View.
The lengths an angry and unforgiving Elizabeth Edwards went to, to seek revenge and punish and humiliate John Edwards, gives us some idea of how deeply she was hurt. See Revenge Cheating is a Common Female Response to Infidelity.
Anger and bitterness are dangerous and destructive emotions. Elizabeth Edwards’ efforts to seek revenge probably hastened her death.
John Edwards will have to live with that knowledge for the rest of his life.
We just did this!
Duplicate thread!
You’re posting a gossip column as news!
I agree on most of this being unenforceable. NC is a separate property state vs. Community property. I don’t see how most of the $53 mil was contributed by her. Sounds like most of her time was spent having and casing for children. If I remember correctly he was the once getting massive settlements and making the money.
Sounds like she can put whatever she wants in her will but whether or not it is any good is the question.
John Edwards repeatedly begged his betrayed wife for her forgiveness. But she adamantly refuse to forgive her cheating husband for his affair. It was reported that as she lay dying Elizabeth angrily screamed at John: “You ruined my life — I’ll NEVER forgive you!’ – words that will probably haunt him for the rest of his life. The writer incorrectly assumes several things. First that John Edwards has a conscience, second that he has a soul, for he is , after all, a lawyer- the lowest form of life on planet earth. Another subset of this sad story is that Elizabeth (a lawyer) is metaphorically “screwing” John (another lawyer)from the grave. The answer to this problem is that John can “channel” Elizabeth from the grave and get forgiveness from her ghost...

I thoroughly believe that God reserves a special place in Hell for those who wantonly partake in the destruction of His covenant of marriage.
Many in NC knew John Edwards’ wife as a vindictive and sometimes cruel woman. Edwards married her to further his ambitions and she never let him forget it, belittled him publicly at times. While he no doubt made out quite well as an ambulance chaser prior to his very shortlived political career, I have no doubt that the vast majority of any estate was actually hers.
Spiting a child is a little much even for her, though. I smell at least a certain amount of sensationalism.
Who has primary custody of Elizabeth’s two little children? if it is John, the keeping them apart from Rielle’s daughter will not stand up in court. And if it is the eldest daughter, does John not have standing to fight that custody arrangement? Though if they take the children’s wishes into the decision, maybe they have chosen to live with their sister?
I despise John and hate what he did to her. He is such a low life. I hope his other dealings get him in prison.
I hope this is not true. Hating and cursing is no way to prepare yourself to meet your maker.
“Elizabeth Edwards, (with her creepy voicemails), comes across as menacing and unstable.”

I would think this clause would be contestable and thus open the whole thing up to being contested. I hope she set aside a big pile of money to defend the will.
this article from 6 months ago is like night and day from the enquirer article.

I agree. I am sorry the poor woman died and was tormented in her final years by an unfaithful husband but she cannot keep him and Rielle apart or keep their child from seeing his other children. I’m sure that John Edwards will realize his share of their homes and other assets and move on and do as he pleases.
I admire her for wanting John for once to pay for his crimes against her. I do not think this makes her look bad. Why do women have to be such doormats all the time, forgiving these horrible creatures, when if the situation were reversed, we’d support the man getting an upper hand over a cruel woman who had wronged him? She didn’t do anything illegal. G-d forbid he would dare speak at her funeral!
I was only one degree of Kevin Bacon removed from Elizabeth and in my contacts, she was a very good person. Maybe not much like me politically, but when it came to being a mom, she was excellent.
Unless he gave up his rights to the children I don’t see how much of this can hold up in court. I think EE was rotten toward the little girl. That child is innocent in all of this. Nothing like a woman scorned. Edwards will most likely contest this will unless they agreed to the terms. If Edwards earns any money after her death why can’t he leave it to whoever he wants to? Glad I am not rich sometimes.
She tortured him their entire married life. Sounds like things came out about even.
“Why is she a harpie? because she’s pissed that her husband ,,,”
I don’t think i can explain it in a way you will understand. :)
And you seem very confident that EE was warm, tender, and kind until she was cheated on. Money says she was a lower level of the same kind of harshness. Typical corporate culture witch,, if you havent known many, you are a lucky person.
This piece of crap gossip column from your blog was already posted!

Now can we move it to Bloggers please since we don’t have a Gossip category?
Sheesh!
Uhhmmm, if this article is true, probably not. You might want to brush up on what Jesus said right after He taught us to pray. And then there’s that whole unmerciful servant thing - she better hope that there is a purgatory, or that she has already paid what she owes. God help her.
I’m surprised by many of the reactions here. Freepers usually equally hate and damn to hell cheating husbands and those who harm cats and dogs. I don’t think the article was meant to be critical of EE. Nor is most of what she did that surprising. The negatives are the attempt to use her money to control JE after her death and to prevent her children from ever seeing the half sibling. Yes she was bitter but understandably so. In the great scheme of things JE could not “ruin her life” but many people think this way. She was pissed that’s for sure.
Do you live in Orange County, NC? This woman was not “lovely”. Any more than Ted Kennedy was sensitive to Mary Jo Kopechne’s family.
She and her man Edwards were peas in the pod in political leftist skullduggery. So much so, that she could not get treatment in any medical center in NC, not in Charlotte, and not at UNC and certainly not at Duke- no, she went to Baaahston. They were/and he is despised by the NC medical community and for good reason.
She was an attorney and in it up to her neck, not unlike Bill and Hillary. The idea that she “was betrayed” is ludicrous- she knew what Edwards was doing 10 years ago. A professional political lefty couple- all facade. The way the two used the death of their son puts pay to everything else, and also lends some credence to this tabloid screed. That said, who cares about either one of them. The only ones to have a care about are their (various) kids who could not affect the outcome of their socialist looney, greedy power hungry parents. They will not be missed.
