Disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards reportedly beat his cancer-stricken wife during a horrific marriage-ending fight. "John lost his temper big time," a close friend of Elizabeth's revealed to the National Enquirer. Who ever thought we'd turn to the National Enquirer as the paper of record ...
"She has the divorce papers drawn up, but she can amend them to charge John with domestic violence."
Go ahead. Toss his ass in jug.
The Breck Girl in prison. I'd buy Pay Per View to watch that reality show.
"New boy, y'all got purty hair. And a real purty mouth..."
The couple's furious confrontation was the "final straw" in Elizabeth's decision to end their 32-year marriage after it was revealed that he had fathered a child out of wedlock with his ex-mistress Rielle Hunter, the newspaper revealed today in a bombshell report on its Web site. "When [John] made the decision to hit me, it was over," a friend said Elizabeth told her.
"Da bish wuz messin' wid me! Whut else could I do?"
Tonight on "Cops"...
"What's going on here, John?"
"Nuthin..."
"Been drinking tonight, John?"
"Little bit..."
"Ya hit her, John?"
"Ah dunno...Ah doan remembah..."
Last month, Edwards finally admitted that he had fathered Hunter's 2-year-old daughter Frances.
"I couldn't hide it no more. We got the same hair!"
Another friend revealed that Elizabeth sometimes also phycially attacked her husband when talking about his affair with Hunter.
"Not the face, Elizabeth! Not the face!"
"She was so tormented by John's cheating and lies that she lashed out physically at him many times, even slapping him," said a friend. "On a couple of occasions, when the fights became heated, she grabbed him by the shoulders and screamed, 'Why, why, why?!'
Lemme see... Depthless pretty boy with a sense of entitlement put in proximity to a New Age slut?
"It's mah trailer park...thing, hunny! But y'all knew all about that when ya up 'n married me! Ah jus cain't hep mahself!"
"Iah nevah said Iah'd be faithful, Iah jus' said Iah'd be well-groomed!"
"Elizabeth would break down in tears and try to make John explain why he was throwing his family and political life away. During one of the confrontations, Elizabeth grabbed his arms and shook him so hard that John had to restrain her."
"Stop it, Elizabeth! Stop it! You're mussing my hair!"
These revelations come as onetime Edwards loyalist Andrew Young released details of the affair in his new book, "The Politician," and the ensuing coverup of the affair with Hunter and their love child.
If you thing a woman scorned is a scary thing, consider the revenge of the passively adoring aide who was used and publicly abused. I'm betting Young can drag this out for months, especially if that tape surfaces.
