John Edwards Scandal Gets Creepier
Just when you thought the John Edwards sex scandal couldn't get any creepier, it does. The Senator's former staffer, Andrew Young, claims Edwards made a video tape of himself having sex with his employee, Rielle Hunter. Young was later convinced by Edwards to claim he was the father of the resulting baby, so that the Senator could dodge the scandal.
Young now insists that he became disillusioned when he discovered the sex tape in 2007...in the very house Edwards had bought his mistress and her phony lover to live in. He's claiming to reveal more gory details of Edwards and Hunter's affair in his new book," The Politician," which will be released February 2.
Hunter was paid by the Edwards presidential campaign to make videos of the candidate, but no one suspected she was making one of them having sex. The tape reportedly shows Hunter "behind the camera at first" and then the two of them engaging in "several sex acts." The New York Daily News reported last June that Young's book proposal mentioned a sex tape, as did the National Enquirer in July.
Young is said to have felt that the sex tape was "kind of the last straw for people who had sacrificed savings and jobs to lie for John." At that point, Young had already helped Edwards cheat on his cancer-stricken wife, and helped him deny his own new born daughter.
The Enquirer reported that Young found the tape while helping Hunter unpack when they lived together – along with Young's own wife and children -- in the hideaway house in California. Having her move in was all part of the PR ruse to convince the public Young was actually the father. Young is said to have found it in a stack of DVDs in Hunter's house by accident. Even though John Edwards and Bill Clinton basically did the same thing (having sex with employees while campaigning for the nation's highest office, then denying it when caught), at least Clinton had the common sense not to video tape it. Then again, Edwards didn't perjure himself in Court over his affair. So it's still hard to say which one is worse. See Chick's CAUGHT.
