Rielle Hunter – One-time Party Girl at Heart of Edwards Scandal
One-time party girl, Rielle Hunter, the woman at the heart of the John Edwards scandal, was born in Fort Lauderdale and attended college in Tampa. But it was from the cocaine-fueled New York City social scene of the 1980s that she emerged as the literary model for the ultimate party girl in Jay McInerney’s novel “Story of My Life.” Andrew Young, a former Edwards aide, has stepped forward to claim that he is the baby’s father of Hunter’s baby but she said she would not take part in any DNA testing to determine the paternity of her daughter. Is there anyone besides my Mother and I who believes that this affair was, in some way, orchestrated by Hunter?
