Rielle Hunter is reportedly so depressed by the news that John Edwards has a new girlfriend that she has stopped eating and barely gets out of bed.
News of the disgraced former Senator's latest love interest- a 35-year-old single mom named Danielle King- broke in early November, and Rielle clearly did not take it well.
'Rielle sobbed and threatened to do something drastic, but John didn't buy it and just coldly walked away and back into the arms of his new girlfriend,' an unidentified close source told The National Enquirer.
Single mom: John Edwards said that he is a constant presence- both emotionally and financially in his daughter Quinn's life but now he has apparently tried cutting ties with her mother (seen in June 2012)
On the down low: The disgraced former Senator, 60, has been quietly dating a 35-year-old single mother named Danielle King, and the two were spotted on a lunch date in October
Hunter, who infamously started sleeping with a then-married Edwards in the middle of the 2008 presidential campaign, was already in trouble with her former lover in the months before his relationship with Ms King began.
She published a tell-all memoir called 'What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter And Me' last summer and that increased tensions between the two.
She tried doing damage-control for the book but not without making some money out of the issue: she released a 'revised edition' of her memoir in October of this year wherein she apologized for her 'selfish' behavior.
That wasn't enough for Edwards, however, as he still fears that in spite of her groveling, she may have something else up her sleeve- possibly another salacious book.
Moving on: Rielle is reportedly depressed over the fact that John has started dating someone else, while he just wants to start fresh with his legal scandal behind him and his new law firm up and running
Placing blame: Edwards is apparently angry over her decision to release a tell-all memoir about their affair- and even though she put out a revised edition where she apologized, he fears she will write another
'John cruelly told her he was done with her and that she needed to find another sucker to leach off. He'll take care of their daughter, but he's through putting up with her shenanigans,' the National Enquirer reported.
Rather than dealing with the drama of Rielle, Edwards has new things to focus on in his life.
The first is Ms King, who works at Duke University's Cancer Care Research Program as a clinical coordinator. She and her son Austin have become close with Edwards' children Jack and Emma Claire, who he lives with in North Carolina.
The second is his new personal injury law firm that he started with fellow lawyer Edward Kirby and his eldest daughter Cate Edwards.
Money may not be a problem for the former presidential candidate, but it remains an issue for his former mistress, as Rielle says that no one will hire her and she has trouble getting by on the $5,000-per-month payments he makes to her to pay for their daughter Quinn's expenses.
