Photo Proof: Oh Yes, The Baby Is His Love Child!

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

Former Senator John Edwards may have, in the past, denied paternity for his former mistress Rielle Hunter's daughter Frances Quinn Hunter, but even without a test, just one look at that photo, and it's quite evident who that baby's father is.

It was reported that Edwards told his wife Elizabeth that he was indeed Frances' father but now it's unclear if he actually did.  Although he has admitted to the affair with Rielle, he may not have actually admitted to being the baby's dad.

Elizabeth Edwards has a new book coming out in May, titled Resilience: Reflections on the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's Adversities, which is said to address the affair of her husband.

Hunter's people are saying that she's trying to stay out of the public eye and not make any comments concerning John Edwards or the fact that he's [allegedly] the father of her baby.  However, with Elizabeth's book tour about to begin, Rielle may just start speaking up about the true identity of her daughter's father.

What a mess!  I have zero respect for John Edwards - just the fact that he had an affair while his wife was battling cancer, is low.  And to have fathered a child with his mistress is another low blow to his wife.  I don't know how she stands to be with him.

I wonder how he's explained his actions to his children?  And what about baby Frances?  If he's denying paternity, and it's determined that he actually is her dad, then he's also denying that child the right to know her father.  What a jerk.

Just to play devil's advocate, men do not have a choice.  Rielle was 40-something and probably dying to get knocked up.  If he did not protect himself, he is an idiot, but that does not mean he wanted a baby.  Not every ejaculation deserves a name and if he did not want her, he is just a glorified sperm donor.  That does not make him a jerk  Cheating on his wife with cancer?  That does.

He had a choice - DON'T HAVE SEX WITH ANOTHER WOMAN WHILE MARRIED.  BUT if you are going to be a douchebag and have sex with another woman while married, WRAP IT UP.  And if you do have unprotected sex and the OTHER woman gets knocked up and decides to keep the baby, well then be a man, own your choices and support the baby, since the child didn't ask to be born into that situation.

I HATE that comment, "be a man."  Give me a break.  Be a woman then and don't give birth to an unwanted child.  Make the "choice" that benefits everyone.  People make mistakes.  Fine, pay support.  But just because you created a child does not mean you have to be a daddy.  She makes the choice to have a baby against the father's wishes, she also makes the choice to raise that child alone.  Period.  If it happens another way, she is lucky.

I'm not saying she doesn't have to own up to her choices - she does (she should have not become involved with a married man...and if he initated it, she should have stopped him in his tracks).  But she is at least being a parent to her child, while Mr. Edwards is being a coward about it (if he is indeed that baby's father..which I believe to be true) - he effed up, so he now has to suck it up and deal. And tough shit if he didn't want a child - like I said, he chose to have sex with her and we all know even birth control isn't 100%...so if you don't want kids with your mistress, then don't have a mistress PERIOD.

Let's look at this mother's behavior thus far.  Has she made an attempt to support the child she decided to have?  No would be the answer to that question.  She has taken hush money from Fred Baron's and when that ended she moved in with her "friend".  Doesn't look to me she wants to provide for herself or the little girl.  If she wants child support she knows all she has to do is consent to a paternity test and the court will tell the father (whoever that maybe) he has to pay but the father doesn't owe the mother anything beyond child support.  By the way, stop saying it's Edwards kid.  Since when is paternity determined by looking at a photo of the child?  This woman wants 10 minutes of attention again and is looking for money anyway she can get it - gold digger.
