Rielle Hunter blasts Elizabeth Edwards in her upcoming tell-all book, calling her a “witch on wheels” who drove disgraced former senator John Edwards to have affairs with other women. Click below to read the rest of the story.
In the book, “What Really Happened,” Hunter depicts her lover’s cancer-stricken wife as “crazy,” shouting demands at her husband, physically attacking him and callously firing his staffers — all while keeping up the public persona as a “saint,” according to ABC News.
The book is set to hit stores on June 26, and Hunter’s publicity blitz is to begin on Friday with an interview on ABC News’ “20/20.”
Hunter also writes that Elizabeth stalked her after getting wind of the affair, repeatedly calling and hanging up “at all hours of the day and night from various numbers,” Hunter recalls.
The one-time White House hopeful’s wife was “bonkers,” Hunter says, because “she had been in denial” about his womanizing.
Elizabeth Edwards died of cancer in December 2010.
In another part of the book, Hunter says Edwards initially lied to her about having girlfriends in Chicago, Los Angeles and Florida after they first hooked up at the New York Regency Hotel in 2006.
Edwards gave Hunter detailed accounts about his trysts with the mystery women, even showing her a second cell phone he used to call his girlfriends, including Hunter, she writes.
But he later came clean after federal prosecutors launched an investigation into whether he used campaign donations to cover up the affair.
Edward told Hunter he lied so that she would not get attached to him, she says
