Rielle Hunter is the mother and mistress to the ex-presidential candidate John Edwards. Edwards and Hunter hooked up nearly five years ago while he was married to his wife Elizabeth. Hunter has recently given a tell-all interview for GQ magazine as well as posed for some provocative photos.

Hunter is now claiming she was taken advantage of by the photographer and the magazine printed photos that portrayed the mistress in a bad light. The 45 year old mother claims she believed the photographer was only taking head shots for the magazine instead of the pantless photos that were printed. Hunter is wearing nothing more than a men’s white dress shirt while posing on a bed covered with her daughter’s stuffed toys.

The magazine and photographer say Hunter knew exactly what she was doing and her reaction to the racy pictures is ridiculous. Hunter reportedly called Barbara Walters after she saw the layout and cried.

Her interview tells a story of a long term affair between her and Edwards that resulted in their two year old love child. Hunter also claims her and “Johnny” are still in love and have a great relationship. The Edwards have legally separated and are working through a divorce agreement.
