Rielle Hunter - homewrecker?

[vraiblonde]

Apparently she's going to spill her guts on Oprah, so Fox has been running a provocative clip that makes even me want to tune in and get the dirt.

Anyway, the two heads introducing and discussing the clip on Fox seemed incredulous that Hunter does not consider herself a homewrecker. Like, you know, the Edwards' would be perfectly happy in la la land if it hadn't been for this predatory woman.

Which is why this is here and not in politics: is she a homewrecker, or does the responsibility for his marriage fall with John Edwards himself?

My thought is that he's just another douche who cheats on his wife, and she merely happened to be the woman he cheated with. Not all men cheat, and it pisses me off when people act like they're these brainless morons led around by their penises, and women are the ones who are supposed to guard the sanctity of not only their own marriage, but ALL marriages.

Hunter's big sin, in my opinion, is going public to run her mouth and embarrass Elizabeth Edwards, who did nothing to deserve this. She should definitely be #####-slapped for that little maneuver, but the Edwards' marital stability isn't her responsibility.

I agree. He's a douche extraordinaire.

Additionally, I think Hunter is just lowering herself even further, if that is possible, by going on Oprah so she can "rehabilitate" her image. (like, who cares - she was a nobody before Edwards) Just beyond trashy, if you ask me.

It is nothing short of laughable, the homewrecker label.

Obviously, Elizabeth wasn't making John happy anymore and I have no doubt he wasn't making her happy anymore either. Any judgment to how difficult he or she is, any accounting of blame, who was more at fault for them being unhappy, is simply between them. Point being, we're not talking about some great, happy marriage where John suddenly has a mistress.

Hunter, it seems, is trying establish a brand to sell, write a book etc and I would gather it is because John isn't exactly making her feel financially secure.

As for embarrassing Elizabeth, no one seems to be painting her as the aggrieved party, some suggesting she never needed help embarrassing herself. Be that as it may, there doesn't seem to be much to like about any of this crew.

Edwards is a douche. He would have cheated with or without Rielle (and probably did).

Rielle is a different story. She's a few crackers short of a full snack pack. She believes in some kind of hippy crap about free love, destiny, hope happiness, rainbows and fairy tales, and knights and castles, and oh look is that a butterfly...Seriously, have you ever read any of her interviews before? She truly believes Edwards loves her and they will one day live happily ever after, even if it isn't this year or next or the year after. She also doesn't understand why everybody is so mean to her.

She's not the brightest bulb, that's for sure. But, frankly, it's unlikely that some kickin' woman with her act together is going to go for John Edwards.

Poor Elizabeth.

Edwards stepped out on his family. IMO, he's the homewrecker. Hunter is seeking another status...and money.

Agreed. He cheated and ruined his family life.

She certainly knew how to prevent pregnancy but had his 'love child' anyway. She's looking at him as a ladder to climb, for money and her 15 minutes of fame.

 

[vraiblonde]

Poor Elizabeth.

Not poor Elizabeth - she's a smart cookie and knew exactly what she was getting.

her 15 minutes of fame.

She's an aspiring actress, apparently. What a surprise.

I figure the Edwards home was wrecked long before any of this happened. They likely stayed married out of convenience because he was always running for some office and a divorced/divorcing candidate is not as appealing. If Edwards was a car salesman they would have been divorced long ago. Then the whole cancer thing.

I doubt she was surprised, probably even knew he was stepping out and didn't care. The only victim in all this is Elizabeths pride at it being played out in the papers. I am just not seeing the loving woman at home baking cookies completely blown away that her Silky Pony is out scrogging in a Super 8.

He is responsible. The ho didn't make any promises to Elizabeth Edwards...he did. She was just an instrument in an act that he has probably done many times. He would have ruined that marriage with or without her. She's still a ho, don't get me wrong.

 

[PJumper]

We would probably never knew what's the relationship between John and Elizabeth before he cheated. If Elizabeth knew about his infidelities and kept quite for whatever reason, she's guilty as well. As for Hunter, she's an opportunistic B***h! Sure, John would probably go for somebody else but knowingly have an affair with a married does not make you a candidate for sainthood either. She could have force him to leave/divorce his wife first unless she only after the instant fame.

Hey Vrai...........

Oh laud have mercy....what a train wreck!

Reverse the rolls and see if you still feel the same way. Just Curious if what's good for the goose is good for the gander? Or is there a double standard when it comes to these things?

You mean if it's a woman who's getting some on the side, would that make her toy boy a homewrecker?

I say no, she's the cheating beech and if it wasn't him, it would have been someone else.

But you do bring up an interesting point regarding the double-standard. Typically when a woman cheats, she's branded as a whore and the blame for the affair (rightfully so) is laid on her and her alone.

But when a guy cheats, there is always - and I mean always - some speculation about whether the wife was satisfying him at home, and maybe that's why he stepped out. At least some of the responsibility is projected onto the wife, even if it's just that she should have known better than to marry him in the first place.

Yes? No? Discuss!

Obviously, if she is cheating, she's not happy at home. Seems to me there has been as much speculation that Edwards is a douche as there has been saying Elizabeth made him unhappy. Seems to me for women, it's the same; same of them are douches as well and some of them aren't being made very happy by the old man.

Ain't seeing a double standard here.

True. Although there shouldn't be a double standard, for some reason we hear one time & time again. Bottom line is that the only people responsible for a marriage are the two people in it. They're the ones that took the vows on their wedding day. If one of them cheats, they're throwing away the marriage. Man, if people are so unhappy in their marriages then leave.

While I have absolutely no respect for anyone who knowingly bangs a married man/woman, they're not to blame. Clearly they have zero self respect but it's not them who wrecked the marriage.

Just a doorway for her to appear in one of the "skin mags' d'assall.
