Oprah's Rielle Hunter Interview Exposes John Edwards, but is it the Truth?

Andrew Young and Wife Claims Rielle Hunter is Lying

Lori Lane
The Oprah Show interview of Rielle Hunter touched base on the love affair between Rielle Hunter and John Edwards, how Edward's wife found out, Andrew Young's connection and much more. But Rielle is not only a filmmaker, she used to be an actress and married previously to a lawyer. Ironic enough, the exclusive interview seemed to be well versed.

During the on air interview from Hunter's Charlotte home Oprah asked questions surrounding all the key players in the exposed life of Rielle Hunter.

What did Rielle claim?

She met "Johnny" at a bar, just as the media stated. However, she seen him first outside of the bar and had no idea who he was. It was only after entering the bar and meeting him, departing then gathering with friends who defined Edwards to Ms. Hunter that Rielle told another he was "hot" in the sense that he had it going on.

Here's where the story gets a tad bit creepy.

She stood outside of the hotel, irony in a basket, he comes outside and sees her. He walks up and they converse. She then mentions of how she could assist in his authentic image then later calls him. He "invites" her to his hotel room. Now, she mentioned on Oprah that a person does not just steal another person from another - they are invited. Question is, did Rielle invite herself when she willingly called him first?

She didn't state if they had sex that night, but many can pretty much draw their own conclusion. After becoming pregnant the media frenzy led her to escape into the Young's North Carolina home. Andrew Young was a former employee of the Edwards campaign. Somehow between the mix Rielle and Edwards made a sex tape that she thought she destroyed by cutting it up. But it just so happened to resurface, fixed and ready to go. She claimed that Young and his wife took the tape from her at some point.

But the bizarre part is when she claimed Andrew Young yelled from across the room while Edwards was screaming on the phone at her. Young, in a loud voice, stated that he would portray the baby's daddy. Whatever Edwards was screaming she did not say. Young claimed later on 11 Eyewitness News that Edwards called him and asked him to play along as the father of Rielle's baby and he agreed to. Rielle played along too.

Rielle claimed it was a safety meaure to save the baby from any future guilt surrounding Edwards failed campaign. (?)

As Rielle Hunter scraped the bottom of the love barrel in defining a heart shaped candy cane puppy dog cloud nine appeal between her and John Edwards she described Edwards as "gracious" over finding out that they expected a child. However, Andrew Young's claim following the show was quite the opposite. According to Young's response to 11 Eyewitness News he stated that Edwards was furious and didn't rule out abortion.

The Oprah interview went on with a all forms of detailed information surrounding the extramarital affair between Rielle Hunter and John Edwards. But nothing deemed more ridiculous than Rielle's decription when asked if she felt that she hurt Elizabeth Edwards, John's wife. Rielle stated she didn't know that Oprah should ask Elizabeth. Then when asked if they loved each other still Rielle claimed they did.

Many people witnessed John Edwards lying on various occasions, including during ABC's Bob Woodruff interview where he states information surrounding not being the father of Rielle Hunter's baby. It was only after the interview that Edwards told his wife the truth. He lied to his wife who stood by his side, to the American public that thought he would prove positive family values when running for v.p., and so on. But Rielle shared that she trusts him.

And after all the information she delivered to America through the Oprah show today the closing line was the icing on the cake. That her life was private.

John Edwards admitted to fathering Frances "Quinn" Hunter, Rielle's daughter.
