She's not quite Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, but Rielle Hunter, the former lover of John Edwards, keeps popping up in the handsome politician's life at all the worst times.
On Thursday, Hunter -- a video producer who made a reported $100,000 from the former North Carolina senator's campaign three years ago -- was present at a courthouse in Raleigh, North Carolina , where investigators are scrutinizing Edwards' finances. The handsome politico has acknowledged the investigation into his fiscal dealings, but nothing else about the issue has been made public.
Hunter's year-old daughter Francis Quinn born last year, is rumored to be the love child of Edward and Hunter, though Edwards has denied such claims.
