JOHN EDWARDS’ former mistress Rielle Hunter has hit rock bottom – she’s broke, depressed and living like a recluse as the disgraced former presidential candidate runs around with a sexy single mom.
In a bombshell world exclusive, The ENQUIRER reported last month that 60-year-old Edwards has been secretly involved with 35-year-old medical worker Danielle King.
Since recently learning of the romance, 49-year-old Rielle, who was hoping to become the next Mrs. Edwards, “has been wallowing in her own misery,” revealed a close source. She’s raising her 5-year-old love child with Edwards, Frances Quinn, and complains that she can’t squeeze by on the $5,000-a-month he pays her. So sources say she made a desperate, last-ditch effort to win him back after learning about his new girlfriend.
