While the John Edwards campaign has failed to release any statements on the matter yet, the National Enquirer has now updated its story regarding a possible Edwards love child with former staffer Rieille Hunter (aka Lisa Druck):

The ENQUIRER spotted Rielle — visibly pregnant in a black sweater and loose-fitting slacks — leaving her OB/GYN’s office in Cary, N.C., on Dec. 12.

And when asked for a comment about her relationship with Edwards by an ENQUIRER reporter, Rielle responded: “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Asked why she was living in Young’s gated community, she answered: “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

When asked who fathered her baby, she answered: “I have no idea who you’re talking about or what you’re talking about.”

She even denied that she was Rielle Hunter!

But things changed dramatically when The ENQUIRER contacted Edwards for a comment just days later. Read more…

How did John Edwards meet his alleged mistress Rielle Hunter (aka Lisa Druck)? He commissioned her small, largely unknown film production company called Midline Groove Productions last year to help create a series of intimate videos showing him in a supposedly flattering light. Hunter played his director for many of the segments, which saw Edwards really open up, and lose his “plastic Ken doll” quality, as he is heard saying in one of the videos. Both Edwards and Hunter appear very loose in the lips when he’s discussing the scripting of a speech in the video below:

Rielle Hunter, the woman the National Enquirer claims had an 18-month affair with Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, is reportedly pregnant and in hiding. Both Edwards and Hunter (who used to go by the name Lisa Druck) have denied they ever had an affair, but she was closely involved with his campaign in its early stages and then just sort of oddly disappeared. Reports have also indicated that she was paid above average fees for the work she performed.

Hunter allegedly told a confidante that she is six months pregnant and that Edwards is the father of her unborn child. She also relocated to live in Chapel Hill, NC about a month ago. Her new home is just a few streets away from the residence of Andrew Young, who had been a key official in Edwards’ campaign — until he left the campaign about a month ago. Since then, Young has been in charge of looking after Hunter, according to Enquirer sources. Some are saying that Young, a married father with children, is claiming to be the father of the unborn child in an effort to protect Edwards.

There is widespread speculation that this is the sex scandal story involving a Democratic presidential candidate that was rumored to be being held by the LA Times.
