John Edwards' Mistress Demands DNA Test for Baby!
2009-05-07
John Edwards' furious mistress is demanding he submit to a DNA test, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively!

Rielle Hunter - the longtime secret lover of the disgraced 2-time presidential candidate - wants definitive proof that Edwards is the father of her 14-month-old love child Frances and is working with a lawyer to take legal action, say sources.

The blonde divorcee - who gave birth in February 2008 - was slammed in the explosive new book Resilience written by the ex-senator's cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth.

The ENQUIRER was the first to expose the extramarital affair in 2007, and Rielle's sudden move to determine paternity is a clear signal that she is no longer willing to protect the philandering politician, who still has not admitted that he's the father of her baby. Edwards recently confirmed he's also the subject of a federal probe into possible campaign funds misuse in paying off hush money to Hunter.

"Rielle - probably naively - now realizes she had held onto a false promise that if she continued to take part in the cover-up John had engineered, they'd be together in the future," a close source told The ENQUIRER.

"She was willing to protect John for the sake of the child. She agreed to allow a crony of his to claim he was the baby's father, and she even kept the name of the father blank on the birth certificate.

"But now she can see there's never going to be a future with John - and she feels he's lied about his promise to keep Elizabeth from trashing her in the book," the insider divulged.

#7  Elizabeth knew about it yet stood by in support while he ran for the top job in the US, with a man eminently blackmailable. She treated you, and everyone else, pretty shabby, just like the Silky Pony did

#5  Frank, lol!

Seeing how birth control is readily available for men and women, that makes them both stupid. Maybe he lied about how he loved her and she lied about how she was on birth control. Again, it makes them both stupid.

Wah, wah...f'n wah. The baby is the only one to feel sorry for here.

#1  No need to "demand" a DNA test from the guy. Just find a cute nurse who's willing and he'll gladly give her a sample. Or two. The only way it could possibly be any easier would be to wait for his wife were to relapse first. :-(
