Before she died, Elizabeth Edwards carefully crafted a devastating 3-pronged plan of revenge to punish John Edwards for betraying her with Rielle Hunter, and then lying about it for months before finally telling her the truth. See How to Get a Cheater to Tell You the Truth about His Affair
If the details in the National Enquirer are to be believed, Elizabeth used her parting statements to John on her deathbed, the arrangements for her funeral, and the amendments to her will to ensure that John Edwards will pay for cheating on her for the rest of his life.
A Well Thought Out 3-Pronged Plan of Revenge
Though she struggled to forgive John Edwards for his affair, and urges her children, her friends, and the public to the same, for Elizabeth Edwards that forgiveness never came.
Elizabeth bided her time and carefully plotted her revenge on John Edwards, Rielle Hunter, and John and Rielle’s lovechild, 2-year-old little Quinn.
As reported in the National Enquirer, which first broke the story about John Edwards and Rielle Hunter’s affair, below are the details of Elizabeth Edwards 3-pronged master-plan of revenge.
On Elizabeth Edwards’ Deathbed
As she lay dying, Elizabeth Edwards took steps to ensure that John Edwards understood the full import of how deeply he’d hurt her with his affair. She even sent a message to his mistress, Rielle.
During his bedside vigil in in Elizabeth Edwards final hours, John Edwards repeatedly begged his betrayed wife for her forgiveness. But she adamantly refuse to forgive her cheating husband for his affair. It was reported that as she lay dying Elizabeth angrily screamed at John: “You ruined my life — I’ll NEVER forgive you!’ – words that will probably haunt him for the rest of his life. See Elizabeth Edwards Got Her Revenge on John Edwards Before She Died andSee Rielle Hunter and Other Modern Day Mistresses Who Ruined Their Lover’s Lives Elizabeth Edwards also unleashed her anger at her husband’s mistress before she died. An insider told close to the family told the National Enquirer that Elizabeth Edwards cursed Rielle Hunter, yelling at John that Rielle should know that for destroying their family, she would “rot in Hell.”
At Elizabeth Edwards’ Funeral
Elizabeth Edwards’ funeral arranged were designed to further punish and humiliate John Edwards.
While John Edwards was permitted to attend Elizabeth’s funeral and sit up front with their three children, he was not allowed to speak. Elizabeth Edwards was eulogized by their 28-year-old daughter Cate and two of Elizabeth’s closest friends. Insiders told the National Enquirer that Elizabeth Edwards deliberately excluded John Edwards from any official role.
To add insult to injury, John Edwards name was not mentioned anywhere on the printed funeral program which the mourners received.
In Elizabeth Edwards’ Will
Elizabeth Edwards’ will was cleverly amended to exact the ultimate revenge to all parties involved – John Edwards, Rielle Hunter and even little Quinn, as you will see from the details below. See Elizabeth Edwards Will Amended to Heap Further Revenge on John Edwards and How to Legally and Financially Get Revenge on a Cheating Mate
Elizabeth Edwards amended her will so that if John Edwards marries, or even lives with his mistress, Rielle Hunter, he will forfeit a sizeable portion of the couple’s $53 million fortune. See As America Mourned Elizabeth Edwards, Rielle Hunter Envisioned Marrying John. Elizabeth’s amended will also stipulates that John Edwards cannot call off the sale of their multi-million family mansion in Chapel Hill and move in with his mistress, Rielle and their daughter, Quinn.
Under the terms of Elizabeth’s Edwards’ will, both the family mansion in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and the family’s vacation home on Figure Eight Island, are now off-limits to her husband’s mistress, Rielle Hunter.
In her amended will, Elizabeth Edwards also seeks to ban little Quinn – John and Rielle’s lovechild – from ever seeing or even coming in contact with her 12-year-old half- sister, Emma Claire, and her 10-year-old half-brother, Jack, - John and Elizabeth’s two youngest children.
Elizabeth Edwards further restructured her will in such a way that John’s lovechild, little Quinn is cut off from ever receiving any of the funds intended for the Edwards children, Jack, Emma Claire, and Cate.
In one final act of revenge, Elizabeth arranged things so that John Edwards is banned from making any major decisions regarding his own children, Jack and Emma Claire, unless he has the approval his 28-year-old daughter, Cate.
Those Closest to Elizabeth Edwards Probably Never Knew
Elizabeth Edwards put on a brave front for her children, the public and those around her.
It appears that Elizabeth’s closest friends had no idea how her heart was savaged and ripped apart by her husband’s affair. See Elizabeth Edwards Showed Us Infidelity from the Betrayed Wife’s Point of View.
The lengths an angry and unforgiving Elizabeth Edwards went to, to seek revenge and punish and humiliate John Edwards, gives us some idea of how deeply she was hurt. See Revenge Cheating is a Common Female Response to Infidelity.
Anger and bitterness are dangerous and destructive emotions. Elizabeth Edwards’ efforts to seek revenge probably hastened her death.
John Edwards will have to live with that knowledge for the rest of his life.
I think this is a cruel attack on a lovely woman who truly loved and was betrayed. I see no revenge in anything. This thread should be removed. It is cruel to HER.
How does a wife do this in a will with joint assets while still married?
Something does not add up.
A woman’s wrath is second only to God’s. What a horrible mess he made. She is in peace now and will wait for him with Jesus by her side.
“Anger and bitterness are dangerous and destructive emotions.”
Some way, some how, JE will pay for his despicable cheating. Not being angry and full of revenge is hard. “I will never stoop so low as to allow another man to make me hate him” Good advice, often hard to follow.
She must have been Irish or Italian, because she had the memory condition that erases everything but the grudges and vendettas.
RIP, EE! God luv ya!!!
This story stinks of BS to me.
None of us here on FR agreed with Elizabeth politically, but this posthumous sliming is a bit much.
John Edwards is the scoundrel, not his late wife!
ok, i can understand wanting to get even with John, and Rielle...but Quinn had no choice to be born...
I don’t think it is cruel. I think it is a MONUMENT to this woman’s GREATNESS! She took justice into her own hands. What a brilliant woman,
Elizabeth Edwards earned what she got, I mean in her life not the way she died. Remember her cruel comments about Cheney’s daughter during the 2004 campaign?
She was far from the saint the liberal media tries to portray her as.
I suspect his cheating was John’s way of getting back at her for the years of mental abuse she inflicted on him with her personality. Seen it a thousand times before.
Of course, he always was a scumbag too. They were a perfect match.
Typical Liberals, all for compassion and giving money away to the poor in public and selfish heels in private.
DITTO!
In the old days they used to just utter a deathbed curse. Then everyone would wait on the condemned’s fate and the completion of the moral lesson. Ah well, another fine tradition lost to the ages.
This doesn’t add up. Most of those will requirements would likely be void as against public policy.
Sounds like a first class bit@h. No wonder he found a nicer woman. Prob no nicer before, not a bit.
True, I also recall how she judged her neighbor then harassed the guy after she learned he was a conservative. Then she disparaged him to the media. Yeah, EE was a wicked bitch.
Did you know her?
Seems the wealth was more from her side of the family than John’s. She did what I think anyone would do under a similar set of circumstances. She protected her children’s inheritance from her ambulance-chasing lawyer ex. I’d call her smart.
Lucky for the kids that the dims’ plan to take the entire estate of the rich away from the family hasn’t jelled just yet.
I agree. The way my lawyer explained it, the surviving parent gets automatic custody, unless proven unfit.
I don’t believe most of this is even plausible.
This “lovely woman” knew what a rat she was attempting to foist off on the USA as a viable President as she served as his “don’t attack the poor dying woman with cancer” attack dog.
I have no sympathy for her.
