" I Love Johnny" - Rielle Hunter Speaks
I don't know what I expected when I read this interview from GQ. I guess I expected some kind of hippie shrew. What I got instead was someone, well, I am not sure what to say other than odd. She seems strange. Like maybe she has not grown up. I'm not sure.
The interviewer is obviously someone who is on Rielle's side so it comes from there. The reporter spent the night at the house with Rielle and her daughter Quinn. I thought everything was fine until I saw her start calling John Edwards "Johnny." That seemed a little off. Then she said she didn't speak before John spoke because she didn't want to emasculate him which is what is wrong with all relationships today.
"I feel comfortable talking now, because Johnny went public and made a statement admitting paternity. I didn't feel like I could ever speak until he did that. Because had I spoken, I would have emasculated him. And I could not emasculate him. Also, it is not my desire to teach my daughter that when Mommy's upset with Daddy, you take matters into your own hands and fix Daddy's mistakes. Which I view as one of the biggest problems in all female-and-male relationships."It goes on for ten pages, so you need to set aside some time, but after reading it, maybe you will come to a different conclusion and think she is fine, but to me, she seems odd. Oh, and why is she posing on her kid's bed like that? All kinds of wrong. And if it isn't her kids bed, then posing with all her daughter's stuffed animals like that is still wrong.
