That John Edwards Sex Tape Scandal Back In Court

John-Edwards1

It’s been a while since we’ve heard any news on that John Edwards sextape that nobody wants to see. Yet the saga rages on, as the implausibly coveted tape returns to a North Carolina courtroom for a hearing. Rielle Hunter, the mistress featured in the allegedly racy video, is suing the former aide Andrew Young to “reclaim the video she made.” According to the AP, she “thinks the tape was taken from a box of her personal belongings.” To make matters queasier, the judge will reportedly “view a DVD this morning containing images related to [the case].”

The trials of John Edwards continue. Literally and figuratively. Today’s newscycle is such that Edwards debacles may seem like a bit of a distant memory, but the philandering former Presidential candidate is still in court tangling over access to the sex tape he allegedly made with Rielle Hunter, his former mistress and mother of his child.

Andrew Young certainly hopes so. The former John Edwards aide – who is admittedly leveraging all he can out of the former VP candidate’s sex scandal with Rielle Hunter – is now starting to hint at other women Edwards may have been involved with.

Now that Rielle Hunter is talking (and crying) it’s time for the other player in the John Edwards soap opera to come forward and make the media rounds as well.

Andrew Young was interviewed by HLN’s Joy Behar (in what was billed an exclusive) – but since he was around, he talked to Anderson Cooper too. Results were predictable.

In case you missed it, here are some key concepts surrounding this bizarre story: Presidential Candidacy, Baby Dady, Mistress, Sex Tape, Cover up and Mastermind. The players?

Yesterday, Geraldo Rivera interviewed Young about the existence of the so called steamy sex tape, a video of which follows

Politics is a dirty business, but but even among the thickest of thick-skinned folk there have been few scandals as stomach-churning as the John Edwards sex scandal. Yet out of all this irresponsible suffering, Newsweek has found an unlikely hero: Rielle Hunter.

More Freaky Facts About John Edwards, Elizabeth, and “Rielle”

It’s with some trepidation that I continue to report on the sick, sad, can’t-make-this-up story surrounding John Edwards. I never liked the guy, he’s no longer a public figure, he’ll never be a public figure, and all of this ugliness occurred when he was a private citizen, albeit one running for the most powerful position in the world. Nevertheless, I know I’m not the only one who can’t look away from this story. So here’s what’s breaking in our Tar Heel Soap Opera:

Good Timing? John And Elizabeth Edwards Officially Split

cover-edwards-240

I guess this can be called the first iPad news dump. ABC News is reporting that John and Elizabeth Edwards have officially split, which is only shocking in so far as it took this long to happen. The timing of the announcement was obviously carefully coordinated: Elizabeth Edwards is on the cover of this week’s People magazine announcing the split, something obviously organized in advance. However, People didn’t make the cover or article available on this site until sometime this afternoon.

Someone over at the WSJ blog ‘Washington Wire’ apparently managed to snag an early version of former John Edwards aide Andrew Young’s upcoming tell-all ‘The Politician.’ If you’re not already entirely disgusted with Edwards these remaining tidbits should do the trick:

Is There A John Edwards And Rielle Hunter Sex Tape?

USA JOHN EDWARDS FILER

Gawker is reporting that John Edwards and Rielle Hunter made a sex tape that was found by Andrew Young, the one-time Edwards aide and author of The Politician, a new book whose released pushed Edwards to admit his paternity of Hunter’s daughter. But couldn’t this just be another publicity push for Young’s book? Sourced only by anonymous parties leaking info to Gawker, it all seems like too perfect of a storm. Young’s book comes out February 2nd.

What The NYT Didn’t Bother To Tell You About John Edwards And Andrew Young

Ten days ago the New York Times ran a A-1 takedown piece on John Edwards that relied heavily on revelations made in a book proposal by former Edwards aide Andrew Young. Politico has now taken the time to do what the NYT didn’t do in their original piece and provide some background on Young. It ain’t pretty.

The New York Times Edwards Story: Scandalous! Newsworthy! Vetted?

The New York Times is not going to be scooped by the National Enquirer anymore! The Times is running an A-1 story today about the latest developments in the John Edwards “drama” and its plenty sordid. However there is something slightly more worrisome than Edward’s alleged behavior. Many of the most damning elements of the piece are paraphrased from a book proposal that has just gone out to publishers. Did anyone vet this proposal?
