GQ Magazine is firing back at claims made by Rielle Hunter, the mistress of former presidential candidate John Edwards. Hunter — who sat down for a tell-all chat with the mag that was released on Monday — says she is “repulsed” by the photos the publication ran with the story.
According to The View’s Barbara Walters, Rielle spoke with her on Monday morning and said she “cried for two hours” after seeing the photos of her in a collared shirt and no pants -– shot by famed photographer Mark Seliger.
GQ, however, insists Rielle was kept in the loop about all of their plans regarding her interview, and is only complaining about the pictures now because of public backlash.
“Did she say she thought they would be headshots?” GQ reporter Lisa DePaulo said in defense of the publication on Good Morning America Tuesday. “Rielle is a smart woman. She knows what she wore and what she was doing in the photoshoot.”
