John Edwards: Mistress, Bastard Baby…and now part of a Criminal Complaint

Filed under: Baby Blabber > Politik > Busted!

johnedwards.jpg

There's more drama for former presidential candidate John Edwards.

We mentioned earlier in the week that the National Enquirer caught Johnny boy at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday, where he was meeting up late at night with his alleged mistress and bastard baby.

On Thursday, the rag filed a criminal complaint with the Beverly Hills Police Department charging that hotel security acted unlawfully while the Enquirer reporters were trying to question the former senator.

A new report claims that Edwards now could be contacted by police to give an eyewitness account of what occurred.

Juicy!

As the Enquirer reporters tried to question Edwards, he ran down a hallway and ducked into a men's public bathroom.

The paper's reps attempted to follow him in and Edwards pushed the door shut from inside.

Hotel security showed up and intervened. The reporters charge that not only did one security guard threaten to break their camera but that security also violated several statutes of the California Penal Code, including false imprisonment and preventing a guest from entering land.

The Enquirer reporters were registered guests at the hotel, while Edwards was not!

Looks like the former senator stepped into a deeep pile of poo that's going to be hard to get out of.

If he's 'guilty' he should just hold his hand up and admit it.

The truth will come out!

And, people just hate it when they've been lied to!

    Leave him alone Perez. He's already gone through enough. His son died, his wife has cancer. Leave him alone. If he needs to get laid, then that's his business.

    Stop calling the baby a bastard! The father might be a bastard and the mother might be stupid, but there are no "bastard" children….

    Oh man, I hope it's not true. But it would explain why he doesn't want to run as presidential vp- because he's afraid that news might come out.

    PUT THE GIRL AWAY IN A NUTHOUSE INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING HER/HIM

    I ignored this story for a few days, thinking that if the National Enquirier broke the story it is PROBABLY BULLSHIT. But Now? HE Had Her at the Beverly Hills Hotel?!?!? & went there to Visit? Was he LOOKING for Publicity? What a MORON!

    While his actions shouldn't be condoned don't you think that it's a little cruel to call his baby a bastard? It's not the baby's fault.

    Perez, I love you babe, but really…lay off the "bastard baby" comments. Just cuz dad is an ass and mom is a home wrecker. This kid is gonna have enough to deal with.



  31. 31

    This is another reason why I stopped being Democrat years ago, (and A Republican years before that)
    Such disillusionment! I was all for Edwards in '08. Looks like a good thing he didn't get the nomination. What a miserable field of candidates we had (and have) to choose from. Maybe we need a monarchy.

  32. Sarah says – reply to this


    32

    Hi Perez,
    Never felt the need to comment before. I think the Edwards affair is newsworthy (maybe), however, using the term "bastard" child is simply cruel. The name has taken on a very bad connotation, which unfortunately attaches to the child, not the adult who committed the bad act. It's not right to attach such a stigma to an innocent party.

    Hey people - try looking up the word "bastard" in a dictionary!! The first meaning listed is "a person born of unmarried parents; illegitimate child" so calling this baby a bastard is not technically wrong.

  37. JP says – reply to this


    37

    Um, funny. Republicans and political retards seem to be all over this story, even though tabloids have been reporting about Bush sleeping with Condi and drinking his weight in booze for years now. You never posted those clips, perez.

    Are you Republican now?

SHUT UP YOU LAZY COWARD AND BOW DOWN TO YOUR MASTERS. SHUT YOUR MOUTH PAY ANY TAX WE DEMAND AND NEVER QUESTION WHAT (WE) YOU RULERS DO.

    Re: Right – The Mainstream Press thought it was pretty reliable a few years ago when it ran the story of Rush Limbaugh and his oxycondin use. Strange how the same papers now view the Enquirer as unreliable. Likely has nothing to do with the fact the Johnny is a Democrat.

    I hope this isnt true. If he really does have a mistress and illegitimate child conceived in adultery then he is a low down piece of shit and I hope he gets all that's coming to him. If his wife had any sense she'd leave his ass after this public humiliation. This guy must have some brass balls to run for president while he has a bastard baby with his whore of a mistress. Dis-fucking-gusting. I hate whores and whoremongers. They need to burn in hell.

He deserves everything that is heading his way just for his mere stupidity alone!!! Fool!!!

    Looks like its time for him to trot out the sick wife again. He keeps her under a bridge until he's in need of public sympathy and "pop" out she comes. I wonder how our bias news organizations will explain this away or why they never looked into this story which has been around for over a year now. When the National Inquirer broke the story about republican Larry Craig and his famous bathroom toe tapping incident, our bias news organizations sent every reporter they could to investigate it for themselves. Now, nothing. I wonder why?

    Why do you always have to hate on the babies, Perez? Hate on the stupid parents, but that child is innocent! Don't ruin the babies reputation! That child has enough on their plate as it is - then you assist in creating an image for the child that's really really negative?! Leave the babies alone!! Baby Hater!!

    Re: Chris

    Yes, Chris, the denotation of "bastard" is correct. However, the connotation is way off. That's what people are saying here. Do you mean to be such a pedant? I don't call your dog a "fat bitch," for instance, or a cigarette a "fag." Language is not just concretely correct. There are a lot of terms that are technically correct AND plain wrong.

    Re: Duh – If this story turns out to be true, then it is news and very big news at that. Obviously you feel Mr. Edwards should be held to a lower standard because of his political affiliation. But I think most Americans would disagree. But again if there is any truth to this story and it turns out he has been cheating and on his terminally ill wife while she stood by him during his recent campaign and lying to the American people then his chances of ever being elected into public office again are almost zilch. Get over it and stop trying to justify sleazy behavior simply because he's a democrat.

    This is precisely why you cannot call yourself a journalist, it's all about trying to inflame and embellish a situation. You have absolutely no idea of what happened or who was in the wrong. You are a scumbag who steals stories and pictures from other people and their websites. Honestly, when was the last time you actually wrote or broke a story? You are a douch-bag plagerizer.

    Re: Chris

    I'm all for varied language. You were correcting people's usage, a separate topic from political correctness.

    As it happens, I don't like calling babies bastards. I don't like it when my friend with a bastard child jokingly calls his son that. I like even less that you didn't read people's posts closely enough to see that most of them knew what the word meant and just didn't like it. It's okay to not like the word bastard for kids and still like Perez. It's okay to be really open but still have a sense of judgment. No worries. All good.

    Please do not call a child a "bastard" you are suppose to be a "modern" person, this is antiquated. You are a bastard for printing and calling a child such a name!

  87. Cogno says – reply to this


    87

    First off, calling a child a bastard means he has no father, just because you are moron that associates it with many common colloquial usages doesn't mean it is wrong.
    Second, John Edwards is scum. His wife has terminal cancer. He was a part of fortress investments that foreclosed on Katrina Victims. He went on a poverty tour but clear cut 20 acres to build a 20,000sq ft home on top of a hill. And he is a trial lawyer. He is not a saint, but he is a fraud.
    Third, he should just admit it. Althought the AP, LA times, etc have asked their writers not to editorialize it and it may, likely not, but may disappear or lose its momentum.
    Fourth, the only reason associate republicans with gay affairs is that the press covers, Craig and Foley for months and a story like Spitzer of Barney Frank, who ran a gay brothel from his home, for a matter of days. Ugh.

    Now it is coming out that Obama's people tried to blackmail Sen Edwards. They called Sen Edwards and threatened to come out in public with the story of Sen Edwards love child if he didnt support Sen Obama. Shortly later Sen Edwards backed Sen Obama and yet the story mysteriously was released.
