Mediaboss Marketing

On Tuesday, Rielle Hunter announced that she and John Edwards were no longer a couple. This determination apparently came after publication of her book, which chewed over intimate details of their relationship.

When asked about the breakup, Hunter replied, I think thats private. Her answer came during a TV interview to plug the 247-page book, titled What Really Happened, which is all about their romance.

She did say that media scrutiny had been difficult for the couple. She made this admission during a publicity blitz for the book that included appearances on ABCs 20/20, Good Morning America, The View and Nightline.

So many problems in Hunters life have been caused by the press. First, there were those pesky reporters from the National Enquirer eager to chat with her about getting pregnant by a presidential candidate.

Then there was the time she posed for GQ magazine wearing a beautiful blouse. That was it no pants.

She later said the published photos were a shock because she thought they were only going to photograph her from the waist up.

She reiterated the point in her book. She says when Edwards was going to his arraignment on federal campaign spending charges, she forgot to tell him how to pose.

Had I even thought for a second that he would be having a mug shot taken, I would have said, And dont forget, no matter what they say to you, the media will get a hold of your mug shot, so dont smile in it, because they dont know yet that you arent guilty. The same way he should have said to me, given the interview was in GQ, No matter what they say to you, how covered you actually are, make sure you wear pants.

Anyway, thats good advice. Nowadays, I always wear trousers to photo shoots with GQ, and you should, too.

This isnt the first time Hunter and Edwards have arrived at Splitsville. In her book, she says he called once and told her it was over.

The rest is here:
With luck, the mistress has had the last word
