Rielle Hunter Tells 'The View' She Doesn't Believe in Infidelity Rielle Hunter and John Edwards have ended their controversial affair after it ruined Edwards' political career, wrecked his marriage, was detailed in a criminal trial and relived in a tell-all memoir. Hunter said today that one reason they split up was because she was "no longer interested in hiding." The former mistress dropped her bombshell during an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America." Not at all," she said. The interview began with Stephanopoulos asking Hunter, who gave birth to a girl named Frances Quinn with Edwards, whether knowing what she knows now, would she do it all again. Hunter's announcement came out the same day her revealing memoir "What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter and Me" was released. The book revealed that Edwards had several mistresses before her, but it also angered people for her harsh criticism of Edwards' wife Elizabeth, who was dying of cancer at the time of their affair. Hours after the GMA appearance Hunter sat down with the five female hosts on the ABC talk show "The View" where she insisted: "I'm a mom, I'm not a mistress," and "I'm not a big believer in infidelity." Her comments got a very pointed reception on the show. Host Whoopi Goldberg asked Hunter how she could "trash a dead lady," referring to Elizabeth Edwards. Hunter describes Elizabeth Edwards in her book as "crazy," and a "venomous" "witch on wheels" who is given to fits of "rage." "I wrote the book to tell the truth," Hunter replied. What I was told about their marriage along the way, my experience of that â I was truthful about. She was also asked if she didn't believe in infidelity how could Hunter approach the former senator when they first met with, "You are so hot." "I didn't feel that was a come-on," Hunter said, adding that the comment "just flew out of my mouth." Hunter said the couple has been worn down by the scrutiny and pressure brought on by their high profile affair that began while Edwards was running for the 2008 presidential nomination. "For me, for my part in it, it's because I'm no longer interested in hiding, hiding our relationship," she said. "I know many things in the relationship were a mistake but I don't regret loving him," she said.
