Disgraced politico JOHN EDWARDS barred from BUNNY MELLON’s funeral after she became embroiled in his love child scandal.
Mellon’s family had barred not only the former North Carolina Senator, now returned to practicing law, but his daughter Cate as well.
As The ENQUIRER previously reported during its exhaustive investigation Edwards had wooed uber-wealthy Rachel Lambert Mellon, known to all the high hatters as Bunny, into donating $700,000 for his failed 2008 presidential run.
Federal prosecutors charged he used part of the funds to buy not only a conspiracy of silence but support Rielle Hunter, who was then pregnant with his love child Frances Quinn.
The Mellon family was aghast two years ago when the very private Bunny, a lifelong friend of Jacqueline Kennedy, was forced at the age of 101 to give a video deposition at Edwards’ trial. She did not take the stand as she was too frail.
