The public has skewered the former senator for cheating on his dying wife and then denying his mistress’ child, but Hunter insists he is the epitome of truthfulness and humility.
“Everyone talks about how Johnny has fallen from grace,” Hunter, 45, told the magazine. “In reality, he’s fallen to grace.”
The interview with GQ, accompanied by photos of Hunter posing in bed wearing what appears to be a man’s white button-down shirt, marks the first time she has spoken in public, a decision she said was always hers and never Edwards.’
