Reille Hunter’s Tabloid-Grade Life

The John Edwards saga is one in a long line of tabloid-type tales in the life of Rielle Hunter.

Her father had her beloved show horse killed for insurance money. An ex-boyfriend used her as his muse for the “cocaine-addled, sexually voracious” narrator of one of his novels. She went to Hollywood to become a star and left about a decade later with only a few bit parts.

Through it all, Hunter considered herself a truth-seeker.

“For as long as I can remember, I had a relentless desire for truth,” she said on her personal website in the mid-2000s.

Then she met John Edwards in the bar of a New York hotel in 2006. Hunter said they had a connection the instant their eyes met, and a few hours later she was spending the night in the Democratic presidential candidate’s room.

Their relationship led to a landslide of lies.
