When I next saw Rielle weeks later, she told me that she'd been fired by the Edwards campaign. She seemed perfectly cheerful about it, but she proceeded to tell me a tale of woehow the campaign hadn't understood her, how they'd ruined the Webisodes, how they'd impeded her vision and how Edwards himself had failed to defend her. The chief villain in this saga was Elizabeth Edwards. "Someday," Rielle said, "the truth about her is going to come out."

But I didn't. I stayed in touch with Rielle for months. At lunch at the Soho House in late spring of '07, Rielle told me that she and novelist Jay McInerney were working on a "genius" idea for a television show about women who help men get out of failing marriages by having affairs with them. She said they wanted to pitch this idea to Darren Star, creator of "Melrose Place" and "Sex and the City." At lunch early that summer, I asked Rielle if she was dating anyone. She answered simply, "I'm in love." I asked, "Who with?" "I can't tell you," she said, "but maybe someday we'll all be friends."

BTW ... there is some heavy duty sleuthing regarding Edwards / Rielle and the Psycbics and Sirituals in Santa Barbara at The Deceiver:
It must’ve taken a few hits of coke to make her look good to John Edwards.
The Rielle World
The woman is a crock.
Surely, Oprah has a place for her.
That just about sums it up.
Plus: “I will never hold public office again” and “My career is ruined.”
I have to admit to seeing Elizabeth Edwards in a new light after this. And it isn’t sympathy that I am feeling. Except for the cancer part. That is an awful disease.
she was ready to pawn her cheatin’ husband off on America...my sympathy has faded into pity....her life is now a country western parody.
This is all interesting, but I have to say that the way it was written, it seemed very high schoolish. Not in the content, but in the manner. Like abrubt sentences.
I went to the store. We bought some eggs. After we got home, we made a cake. Later, we ate the cake.
Does that make sense to anyone else?
Sounds like she was hoping to get in this Darman feller’s pants, too.
So given this guy’s history with Hunter and obvious suspicions, why didn’t Newsweek report on this story much sooner? Clear bias.
Heck, who can blame him?
I don't understand people, who when facing death, are still so caught up on the superficial things in life.
Makes one wonder what Elizabeth’s political ambitions were before the cancer diagnosis. (See also Hillary Clinton.)
She sounds like a New Age flake.
Yeah, why should he have even bothered getting married in the first place, other than to have a facade to further his political ambitions. He was destined to be the kind of guy who would always look to trade up. I could see that from Day One.
Of course Elizabeth probably already knew that about Edwards when she agreed to marry him.
Sounds kind of like Jack Webb, but he’s probably shooting for Mickey Spillane.
