Rielle Hunter upset about racy 'GQ' photos, says Barbara Walters

On The View this morning, Barbara Walters said Rielle Hunter, the mistress of former presidential candidate John Edwards, had called her in tears over the suggestive nature of some of the photos accompanying Hunter’s lengthy GQ profile. Hunter told Walters she had screamed for two hours upon seeing photos that show her bare-legged on a bed, wearing only a man’s white dress shirt (“John’s shirt?” quipped Elisabeth Hasselbeck) and a pearl necklace. Hunter told Walters she had trusted the photographer, Mark Seliger, and believed him when he told her “he thought there might be one” usable shot that showed her being sexy.

Now, if Rielle had watched 30 Rock, she’d know that you should never agree to the use of props unless you want to see them again in print. They always use the shots with props!

Are you “Lysol-ing” yourself yet, like Whoopi?

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
    What a dope!

    • Amy

      Don’t try to look like something you’re not, Reille. You look like a whore in the pictures because that is what you are. The truth is funny that way.

      • jan

        john edwards is holding a gun in his mouth, like riggs in ‘leathal weapon,’ as we speak.

      • Nshi

        She makes Nshi want to vomit. She’s hella nasty.

      • hatedon

        Did she think they were going to photo shop pants onto her pictures???

      • penny caner

        I’m sorry were you there?????
        I saw a few minutes of the filmed
        photo shots and they were supplying
        her with beer!!!!
        what stupid have you done
        while supplied with beer.
        I remember some of the things I
        did, thank God I wasn’t taken
        advantage of!

      • Rebecca

        Oh please. This is a 40-something year old woman, not some underage girl. She knew what she was doing and she knew how the pictures looked, esp since the photographer showed her all the proofs. Please… she wants to be the victim. And no, I wasn’t there, but GQ did release the video of the photoshoot yesterday afternoon. She seemed very please with her photos.

      • Yesenia

        Don’t blame the beer. Blame the person drinking the beer. She’s an adult. She makes her decisions.

      • lalalalalala

        PENNY CANER——–You win the prize for the stupidest comment on a post——-EVER!

    • ruched dress

      Ummmm wasn’t Rielle there when the pictures were taken, ummmmm of HER???? What did she THINK they were going to turn out like ???

    • Siskel

      WHO CARES ABOUT THESE OLD WITCHES???

  • Marianne

    Then why did she agree to have her picture taken in only a shirt? Did she not think they would use it?

    • hc

      She took off her pants to show off her intellect and spirituality.

      • jim campbell

        Now that was GOOD!

      • Ladyli1

        That was to funny!

    • Milo

      She took her pants off because of the incredible rush of energy she felt for the camera. She’s part of a oneness of pantlessness. Only to be betrayed by the reality of a photographer.
      She’s as big a liar as Edwards. Now, she’s not only lying, she’s insulting us. Why these people think we’ll believe anything they say is beyond me. This would actually be entertaining if it weren’t for the kids and Elizabeth.

      • D

        First two sentences were hysterical!

      • jstsaying

        Second that! Great belly laugh, thanks.

    • Maryann

      She knew what was in store.She is no angel…

  • Elizabeth

    Oh, please! Like she didn’t know what she was doing when she posed in provocative set-ups.

    • Again

      She didn’t know what would happen when she made that sex tape either. What? People would watch it? Make copies?? The woman is just stupid. Edwards deserves her. His kids and ex-wife don’t.

      • jim campbell

        How can an entrepreneur be stupid?

      • jim campbell

        Sorry. I meant how can an entrepreneur, who is abut to be extremely rich, be stupid.

      • jim campbell

        Those were just the teaser shots. Just think how much the droolers will pay for the next more provocative pics.

  • Mike O

    If you don’t want to be seen in a provocative photo, don’t pose for one.

    • Q

      It’s more simple than that even – keep your pants on. This goes double for Miley Cyrus.

  • Really?????

    Here’s an idea if you don’t want to be seen as a sex tart then don’t pose as one. Of course they were going to use the provocative pix. Gimme a break.

    • Lala

      Agreed. And it’s ridiculous what some people can get so upset about. She’s not particularly upset that she had the affair and all of the collateral damage that came with that, but she is “repulsed” that she showed some leg on a magazine cover. Give me a break! If you don’t want to pose without pants on, don’t take them off!

      • bonnie

        Absolutely. I read the interview and not once did they ask her what she thought about “Johnny’s” kids with Elizabeth. Not once did she comment on what their relationship and her getting pregnant did to those kids. And she totally posed for dirty mistress pics, what did she think was going to happen? She chose GQ as her coming out magazine??? Really???

      • Jai

        Rielle Hunter, the mistress of former presidential candidate John Edwards….

  • bluemeanie

    What a joke! Who the hell forced you to take those pictures in the first place, you media skank?? Jeez…anything for the money…

  • Sarah

    Some embarrassing photos that she chose to pose for hardly equate to the humiliating and back-stabbing events that Elizabeth Edwards had to go through because of Rielle and John’s selfishness. Not feeling sorry for Rielle one bit.

    Real women stand with one another. They don’t pursue married men. Gross.

    • peter

      sorry unmarried people have no obligation’s.only married people buy into the fantasy of one person forever

      • Sarah

        But all people should respect one another. Rielle and John both showed a great amount of disrespect for Elizabeth Edwards. It would be different if there was an agreement of an open marriage. There wasn’t. So, yes unmarried people should show respect to other people’s marriage. That is not fantasy, just common dignity.

      • Amy

        Sorry, Peter all adults are obliged to have and use COMMON SENSE. If she/he’s cheating WITH you then it will be no time at all the she/he’ll be cheating ON you.

      • Chloe

        Typical male answer. SHE KNEW HE WAS MARRIED. No self respecting woman plays in another woman’s “backyard” knowing that woman is THE wife and there are children involved. You take it for what it is – a scr*w and that’s it! You never ever believe the man will leave his wife/significant other because of you. Edwards is a fool and a cheat and just as bad as Reille is; two of a kind. We are SO FORTUNATE that he never got as far to run for President and maybe even winning!!

      • To peter

        I don’t know about that. One of my best friends has been married five times. I don’t think he has any fantasies of one person forever. I don’t think this is a married/unmarried people issue. I think most married people are very clear there are multiple people in the world for them, but they choose to stay with one. It think Ms. Hunter only wants what she wants, and screw anyone who gets in her way.

      • jude

        spare us your male fantasies peter…

      • kww

        Peter your name says it all…that is about the size of your brain…and the shortcomings that lie there in. Hopefully will stay single and not inflict on society the spawn of your loins…loser!

      • mechelle

        Peter, you must be the pervert who thinks it is okay to have sex with 16 year olds too?

    • Morgan Gale

      You have it right. Only a fool expects photos “not” to be used. She was a videographer and therefore “media savvy”.
      perhaps we now know more about what attracted John Edwards…and therefore more about him.

    • jude

      Right on Sarah! This woman is a disgrace to women everywhere…”yeah, I posed on my back on a bed half-dressed with my legs open holding my kid because it seemed so wholesome and maternal”. I just threw up a little bit in my mouth…

  • MacG

    So NOW she wants people to behave ethically? She needs to look in a reality mirror and not that flattering one in Sleeping Beauty.

  • Sabrina

    I can’t believe this woman. What was she smoking at the time that told her doing those pics were ok? Come on! She is a professional photog herself AND she is 45 years old. What did she expect to happen? A middle aged tart poses bottomless and she expects to be viewed as America’s Sweetheart? PUHLEEZ. Even Monica Lewinsky (who is at least 10 years younger than Hunter) showed more sense than that when she was the tramp du jour.

  • Zoe

    She’s an idiot and a wh*ore.

    • Brenda Barrett

      Amen.

    • sandy

      what is that astrix for?

      • Layne

        The word is “asterisk” and I believe the writer probably placed it there to keep the word from being automatically censored by the site software

      • kww

        Nice one Layne…lol

  • TK

    This is why Barbara Walters has no credibility as a journalist. Why does she choose to be the mouthpiece for this woman? She’s acting like she’s reporting because she’s quoting the woman. But it’s not reporting when she doesn’t question her source, or even the sheer common sense of the source. This Hunter person wants to have her cake and eat it too. She chooses to tell all to GQ, a men’s magazine. She chooses to wear a man’s shirt and take off her pants. Then she pretends to be mortified by the results. Why anyone would believe her or either Edwards at this time is beyond me. Anyone but BW who spews this crap as “news”.

    • lalala

      Barbara can’t really give any negative opinion about her because she admitted herself that she was the “other woman” in the past. I don’t even know why this woman is calling Barbara in the first place and whining about this. Are they friends or something?

      • Sammy

        At least Barbara was discrete and didn’t breakup a marriage or have another man’s baby.

  • whynot

    Did she not notice she wasn’t wearing pants? Or is she too blinded by “unconditional love?”

  • mc

    Hey stupid, you posed for the shot. Get a frigging life already, just looking for more attention.

  • lalala

    Oh, cry me a river!

    • rak

      Stop saying that stupid quote. You make me vomit!

      • lalala

        Hm, funny, ’cause that’s the only time I’ve ever used that quote, and it’s applicable here. Maybe you need to stop being overly sensitive.

      • lalala

        Oh wait, I saw your other posts, you’re obviously a troll. I should have ignored you.

    • rak

      you’re stupid or something. im a queen yea. ill rip your eyes out

    • rak

      What a stupid name “lalala” that is why i targeted you. get out of here. shamoy

      • lalalalalala

        and rak ISN’T the stupidest name ever??????

  • Pedro

    Was she equally horrified when she realized she had played a major role in ruining the life of a sweet woman and dedicated mother dying of cancer?

    • Sarah

      Agreed, Pedro. Being the mistress of a man whose sweet wife is dying of cancer is the true tragedy. As a woman myself, I feel she betrays what women should be towards each other, which is supportive.

    • kww

      Yeah and this lady is supposed to believe in “karma” being all new-agey and all…

      • mia

        Ms. Hunter needs to get off the cross somebody can use the wood!
