The National Enquirer is keeping the dirt coming on the John Edwards debacle. The former Democratic party poster boy isn’t getting along with the mother of the child he’s been denying to the public. According to the Enquirer, Edwards was about to finally admit paternity of Rielle Hunter’s 20 month-old daughter, Frances. He even bought Rielle and Frances a house in Charlotte, North Carolina at Rielle’s insistence. She was all packed and ready to move in when Edwards saw how greedy she was getting and decided not to let her move in. Rielle had requested $18,000 a month in child support, and John wasn’t having it.

Top secret documents obtained exclusively by The ENQUIRER provide undeniable proof that John Edwards is the father of his mistress’ love child – and show that she’s asking for nearly $18,000 a month in support!

But Rielle Hunter’s cash grab so infuriated the disgraced presidential candidate that, sources say, he basically tossed her and their daughter out on the street just days before they were set to move into a house he’d bought for them!

The ENQUIRER has also learned Edwards had been preparing to publicly admit he is the baby’s father. But now that their child support negotiations have taken an ugly turn, Rielle is ready to drag the former North Carolina senator into court, insiders say.

“John thought he had sweetened the deal by getting Rielle a house, but she didn’t think what he’d offered to pay in regular support for their daughter was fair,” an insider disclosed.

“John was so angry that he wouldn’t let Rielle move into the house, even with a moving van full of her belongings en route.

“So a week after Thanksgiving, Rielle found herself without a place to live – and no agreement with John for their daughter’s long-term support. She’s absolutely furious, and may take the whole thing public!”

The abrupt breakdown between Edwards, 56, and the 45-year-old blonde divorcee came as he was preparing a statement that would finally publicly confirm he’d fathered Rielle’s daughter Frances, sources say.

And here’s the breakdown of Rielle’s “expenses” from the Enquirer’s print edition:

The document identified “custody and “child support” as the issues in dispute, and names Rielle and “John Edwards” of Chapel Hill, N.C., as the parents of “Frances Quinn Hunter” born Feb 27, 2008.

It lists in detail both “current” and “anticipated” monthly expenses for Rielle and her daughter. The biggest “anticipated” expense is a $3,000 monthly mortgage payment for a home purchased “either by Defendant or a Trust.”

Adding in household expenses, a cell phone and cable TV, Rielle claimed to need $4,485 a month to cover her basic costs.

As for “personal” needs, Rielle lists $800 for eating at “restaurants,” $250 for “hair care,” $400 for “domestic held,” $300 for “sports and hobbies,” $1,5000 for “preschool,” $2,100 for “baby-sitting,” $1,200 for a “security guart” and other expenses that total $12,850.

Throw in $575 for “transportation” costs on her 2004 BMW SUV, and Rielle claims she’ll need $17,910 a month to live and raise her child!

Does this woman work, because why would she need $1,200 for a baby sitter and $400 for domestic help if she’s collecting enough free money to live on? You would think she could make due with less help. Does she really need a $250 dye job every month and $800 just to eat out? She got greedy and now she’s going to have to go to court to get a more reasonable settlement. If John is really swimming in cash he should pay up, though. In a way I don’t really care what happens as Rielle’s a gold-digger and John’s a liar who deserves to get taken to the cleaners. I used to look up to the guy but it’s clear that he’s been duplicitous with his supporters and the public. A federal grand jury is still looking into whether Edwards misappropriated campaign funds to pay off Hunter and a former aid, Andrew Young, who initially claimed to be the father of Hunter’s baby. Depending on how that case turns out Edwards might not be able to afford even a fraction of Hunter’s alleged monthly expenses.
