One-on-One with Rielle Hunter
PAGE 12
Oprah: Quinn is conceived in May [2007].
Rielle: The end of May. I didn't know I was pregnant until July.
Oprah: At what point in there did John have the announcement that [he and Elizabeth] were going to renew their vows?
Rielle: July.
Oprah: So when John Edwards is renewing his vows with Elizabeth Edwards, he knows that you are pregnant?
Rielle: Yes, he does.
Oprah: How can you make that okay? You're pregnant, carrying this man's child. You knew it was his child, because you weren't seeing anyone else.
Rielle: I wasn't seeing anyone else.
Oprah: You knew it was his child, and he is making this public...
Rielle: We both knew it was his child.
Oprah: And he knew it was his child.
Rielle: Yes, he did.
Oprah: How did it make you feel?
Rielle: Terrible. My own judgment of someone who stands before God and makes a vow crushes me on the inside. I mean, just crushes me that someone can do that, that anyone can do that, because of the way I'm built. I could never do that.
...
Oprah: You didn't think less of him for doing that?
Rielle: No, which is interesting because I understood where he was in his process.
Oprah: Were you hurt?
Rielle: Yes, very much.
