"He just really did not seem her type," she said. Nor did having a baby seem to be on her radar. When asked if Hunter had videography skills, O'Brien said, "None whatsoever."
"The Buddhist Rielle was into honesty and integrity and having an affair with a married man might have been a lark at one point," O'Brien mused, "but to move around the country and to keep a wife in the dark doesn't seem to reflect the person I knew."
Hunter, of course, has been silent, only issuing a statement through her lawyer saying that Edwards is not her baby's father.
That silence was broken briefly a few days before Edwards' TV interview -- when she called 911 from her car in California to say that paparazzi were following her as she drove with her child.
"They almost got into two wrecks following me. They are trying to take photos of me and completely harassing me," she can be heard saying on the 911 tape that was released.
"What is your name?" the operator asks.
"Rielle Hunter," she says.
"Why are they trying to take pictures of you?" asks the operator a tad skeptically.
"Because they are trying to prove someone is the father of my baby who's not."
It was the first time Hunter had been heard in public denying that Edwards is the father of her child.
