Former senator and presidential wanna-be John Edwards didn’t tell his wife, Elizabeth, the full story about his affair with Rielle Hunter until after he supposedly spilled his guts to ABC’s Bob Woodruff.
Hunter, in her first television interview since revealing juicy details about her life with Edwards in GQ magazine, told Oprah Winfrey those who were really close to Edwards didn’t want the scandal-scarred politician to speak out.
“Everyone who was close to — well, who knew all the facts and knew the truth said, please don’t do that interview. Please don’t do that interview,” Hunter told Winfrey in an interview airing Thursday and seen in New York at 4 p.m. on WABC/Ch. 7.
“Elizabeth really wanted him to do that interview. She wanted him to say, you know, you’ve got to get out in front of it. You’ve got to, you know, say the truth and speak the truth,” Hunter continued with Winfrey. “And she didn’t know the truth. So it’s like you can’t do the interview and not speak the whole truth.”
