John Edwards, D-NC, is shown with videographer Rielle Hunter in the 9th Ward of New Orleans, La. (AP Photo/The National Enquirer) Elizabeth Edwards is ready to divorce John and air all his dirty laundry in court, sources tell the National Enquirer—a tabloid that's been surprisingly accurate when it comes to the Edwards scandal. Elizabeth’s breaking point by way of former aide Andrew Young’s upcoming tell-all: “What really pushed her over the edge is Young's allegation that John had other affairs with women on the campaign trail,” the source says. “Elizabeth basically told John that if she found out that was true, she'd have to divorce him because then he'd be a 'serial cheater.'" She "knows every dirty little secret in her husband's political past. She's been his confidant for years, and she's always kept quiet. But now she's prepared to reveal all his secrets in open court,” the source continues. “Elizabeth made it clear to John that she will take him for everything he's got. She will divorce him and claim their $53 million fortune.” (More John Edwards stories.) Report an error
