"My expectation is that, at some point, something happens," Elizabeth said
The wife of philandering former Sen. John Edwards said she expects a paternity test will take place soon to determine the father of the 18-month-old child of her hubby's former mistress.
In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," Elizabeth Edwards confronted rumors that her cheating husband was set to claim paternity of little Frances, his alleged love child with ex-mistress Rielle Hunter.
When asked about testing the paternity of the baby, Edwards said her "expectation is that, at some point, something happens. And I hope for the sake of this child that it happens, you know, in a quiet way."
Edwards, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2007, has said in the past she has seen a picture of the baby girl but had "no idea" whether her husband is the father of Hunter's child.
Doesn’t she know the test happened and “Father of the Year, her hubby is the father of the lust child?
That poor child ... with these two as the parents ... it doesn’t have much of a chance. Two idiots will raise the child into an idiot.
The little girl is cute ... I wish her well.
It must be pretty difficult to look at that baby and see Edwards’ features in her face. She looks more like John than do Elizabeth’s two IVF babies.
Elizabeth Ewards - ever the lawyer - what diff does it make?And do we know the woman is his ex-lover???
This woman cannot stay away from a camera. She’s an attention whore who loves to play the victim.
I wonder if Mrs.Edwards will allow Hunter to come in and
measure the drapes?
I don’t that Elizabeth doesn’t know that that little baby is by hubby. I beleive she had that get even book tour to lash out and “get even” before she couldn’t make public appearances. The cancer has now spread to her bone. Depending on where it spread, amputation could stop it but it depends on where the bone cancer is. She is having a horrible ending from all perspectives.
You got that right. She is after the attention.
She will probably go on Oprah and whine and moan.
The little girls is adorable.
She has the looks of John Edwards, the Breck Girl.
I was under the impression that a paternity test had already been taken, and it was proven that “My Little Pony”-boy was the father... Perhaps Elizabeth was referring to something else — like her divorcing him... Or his being brought up on charges related to the testimony his mistress gave in DC the other day...
So were the reports that Silky Pony was the father of Rielle’s baby NOT based on the actual test? Sounds like, from this interview, that the DNA results were not yet in. What was the date of this interview?
I was wondering how her illness was progressing. Bone Cancer is very painful from what I hear (my aunt died of it back in the early 80s). I feel bad for her — the stress and contention at home could NOT have helped in her fight against this disease — her husband’s actions probably hurt her chances for survival a lot (I believe there is a strong connection between emotions, and healing...).
Rielle is one women who would probably do it.
Nothing like doing it in a “quiet way” by broadcasting it on LKL.
The test was taken and John Edwards is the father.
Elizabeth is just trying to “save face”.
I guarantee you she knows it is John’s baby.
She was diagnosed with BC in 2003 not 2007. She’s over the five year mark and is now a long term survivor. Her cancer is however, considered fatal.
No matter how I feel about them politically,my prayers are with Mrs. Edwards.
