Edwards' Mistress Broke, Living In New Jersey, Reports Enquirer

The new issue of the National Enquirer has an update on Rielle Hunter, the women with whom John Edwards admitted having an affair, who also claims to the mother of his love child.

The Enquirer broke the story, and now they report Hunter is broke and living with a friend in New Jersey after her sponsor died of cancer:

After her $15,000 monthly payments stopped with the death of money man Fred Baron, John Edward's mistress blonde divorcee Rielle Hunter abandoned the lavish $3 million home that was being rented for her in ritzy Santa Barbara, California, sources tell The ENQUIRER.

Now she and her 10-month-old daughter Frances, who she privately says is Edwards' love child, are living with her longtime friend Mimi Hockman in South Orange, about 20 miles west of New York City, according to insiders.

It seems Hockman's indirect support of Edwards goes way back. In 2004 she donated to Kerry's presidential campaign.

Please change the headline, "Edwards' Mistress Broke, Living In New Jersey" Your headline makes living in New Jersey sound like a fate worse than death, which it is only if you live in Paterson.

A sex partner is not necessarily a mistress. The child has not been proven to be
his. And considering that she was being kept so lavishly by another guy, she
hardly seems the Poor Nell type. Everyone is quick to vilify John Edwards and
suggest that his marriage isn't solid. Sex isn't always indicative of the solidity of
a marriage. And I think Mrs. Edwards"who John obviously adores" is wise
enough to know disloyalty from dalliance.

[Cherubim]

Cloudmaker, I agree, wholeheartedly, with your comments.

[SotahGrl]

How can you be BROKE if you were raking in $15,000 per MONTH!?!?! It takes me 7 months to make that much money!

Second. Edwards was TRYING to do the right thing by taking a paternity test. Why does a potential father not have the right to take a paternity test?

[inorbit]

sparty1 - you have a point. If Edwards really was the father you'd think she'd want the test done so she could squeeze some money out of him - after all he's stinking rich.

[Mia319]

This relationship is carefully orchestrated to continue when John is a free man. He agreed to the paternity test knowing that she would not, thereby keeping their secret safe. When is isdivorced or widowed, he will claim his child and marry Rielle. This is their deal. Sleazy.

[Cherubim]

Why do you keep typing this over and over again?
Do you work for the National Enquirer?

[gba]

And that's why he is not supporting her and her daughter financially?

[StrategicThinker]

Give us a transcript of that conversation that you overheard where Edwards and Hunter devised that plot.

[MomfromTexas]

"Sponsor"? Who gave her $15,000 a month??? Rented a 3 million dollar home for her? Wow. I want one of those "sponsor" guys. Hmm. Makes me wonder about the using of "friend" to describe this person in Jersey.

[Eidolas]

She was recieving $15,000 monthly payouts from some sugar daddy AND living rent free in a $3 million home in Santa Barbara. And now she's broke and homeless? Something doesn't add up here. She invest in some New York ponzi scheme or something?

[Sparty1]

For those folks that are saying shame on Edwards for not supporting his daughter, he's not obligated to support a child that hasn't been proven to be his. If I knew for a fact that John 'Millionaire' Edwards was my baby's father, we would've had that test done as soon as she came out. She's not his, obviously.

Where's Maury when we need him?

[AlligatorShuz]

Now shame on John Edwards to let his child and mother be homeless.

[learnsomething]

He has no proof the child is his . She refuses to allow a DNA test. So why do you think Edwards is responsible for her welfare. He does not know who's baby it is.

[anghiari]

May I offer up for the naive...a 40 year old woman does not get pregnant unless she is planning on getting pregnant.

Was John Edwards' married when this woman took up with him?

What is there about a married high profile VIP did this woman not understand?

Sorry, but a mistress is someone from a long term relationship for whom the gentleman has paid for in all ways for some time. They are usually without children, but no always... Not sure Ms. Rielle who picked the Senator up feels that description...the only one who didn't get what they deserved in this whole tangled web of lies if Elizabeth and the child,,,whoever the father may be.

[Pulemerci]

Edwards won huge settlements suing baby doctors over the years. I think he could pony up some money for his illigitimate child and the baby mother.

[StrategicThinker]

Have you matched Edwards' DNA with the infant's?

[lesterbud]

This should be a lesson for all potential adulteresses out their - do it and you may have to live in Jersey!

[learnsomething]

Keep your legs closed with married men, girls.

[kepary]

especially democratic politicians

[Rover]

Having grown up and lived most of my life in NJ, I doubt the ability of one living there while broke. A very expensive place to live.

[deeppeace]

It says she's living with a friend. And 'broke' is a relative term. I'm 'broke,' too, although I work full-time.

[hartkid]

Check the inquirer's website today? Apparently the baby is not even Hunter's biological child; it's Sarah Palin's. The father is bigfoot/head.

[lesterbud]

Sure wasn't Bill Clinton fathering that kid - Hunter is far too good looking for his taste.

[learnsomething]

Monica looks way better than Hunter.

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

You conceived, carried and bore a CHILD, not a meal ticket. GET A JOB!!!

[takeyourballandgohome]

Pls find your entertainment somewhere else. The pain is beyond measure that Elizabeth and the family have and will always suffer. It seems funny to you bloggers but it is a very serious injury inflicted to bring this up. Yes, I know who inflicted the pain, but none of us know what he is doing to correct it. Just go on to some Hollywood celebrity who makes a living off of us...let them wonder what the attention is all about, such a mystery until they want us to go to their movie.

[anghiari]

Please...who taught you logic? Hollywood celebrities make a living off us? No, actually we go to the movies and give money of our own volition...nobody forces you to support any actor, artist, dancer unless you choose to. John Edwards unlike too many husbands told his wife a year before this became public...He was finally honest and I think that helped her survive this humiliation. But this Huner Reille...give me a break! 40 year old women have babies to snag married men, otherwise it makes no sense.
