Just because the media has painted Rielle Hunter to look like a husband-stealing slut doesn’t mean that her family’s going to be her support system. In fact, Rielle’s sister Roxanne Marshall is going to join right in on the bashing. In an interview with Extra, Roxanne said the following about her sister’s affair with John Edwards and the one big thing that Rielle failed to mention in her interview with Oprah:
“They were married, she has cancer. She has two little children. She deserves some respect. I would like to tell Mrs. Edwards that I feel so bad about the whole situation, and in my heart, I feel for her.”
I have to say, while sticking with your family is always respectable, sometimes doing the right thing and apologizing to a woman that’s clearly been hurt by your kin is the better thing to do. I really respect that Roxanne made this statement because if I was related to Rielle Hunter, Michelle “Bombsell” McGee, Rachel Uchitel or any of these infamous mistresses, I would be both humiliated and saddened by their actions.
Do you think Roxanne did the right thing by apologizing to Elizabeth Edwards?
I wouldn’t say the apology was akin to “throwing her sister under the bus”.
Aggrandizing the stories again molls?
There’s a difference between throwing someone under a bus and having some character. Sometimes things are just black or white, right or wrong. The true measure of a person comes when they are faced with such things and stand up for what is right. There is at least one member of Ms. Hunter’s family with honor and I commend that. It took courage.
Why would she have to apologise over her sister’s actions? It’s not her fault what her sister does. I think she just wanted the money.
Anyway, if she really, really wanted to apologise (which I think is *totally* unnecessary) she’d have sent a message to the other woman’s reps or whatever.
It’s Roxanne’s business if she wants to condemn the actions of her sister. Roxanne is totally right. If I were her sister, I for damn sure would. And for all we know, she has sent a message to Mrs. Edwards.
Did you know Rielle’s father used to murder valuable horses so he could collect on their insurance? That’s a fact. So, that gives you an idea of how that family looked at “integrity”.
