Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards may be in need of some “Resilience” of his own considering the reports about his former mistress, Rielle Hunter, possibly seeking a paternity test.
If so, this would represent a change-of-heart from last year when her lawyer, Robert Gordon, “released a statement saying she ‘will not participate in DNA testing or any other invasion of her or her daughter’s privacy now or in the future.’” The timing certainly makes one wonder whether this might be in any way related to Elizabeth Edwards’ soon-to-be-released book wherein she supposedly “calls Hunter’s life ‘pathetic’”.
Previously, Edwards had said he would “welcome” a paternity test, but also suggested “that because of the “timing’ of his affair ‘it’s not possible that this child could be mine.’” If a paternity suit were to establish that John Edwards was the father, that would open the door to pursuing child support for Rielle Hunter’s daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter.
