Oprah Taped Rielle Hunter Interview, Says John Edwards' Baby Mama Was 'Genuine', 'Truthful'

Only the best for John Edwards' mistress and she got just that. Oprah landed Rielle Hunter's first televised interview, which she taped in Charlotte, NC yesterday and will air in a few months.

After the taping, Oprah told NewsChannel 36: "This was a great interview. We talked for about two and a half hours. She was genuine, I thought, and authentic. I think we'll see a side of her that, certainly, I've never known. I enjoyed the conversation. ... I had no resistance from Rielle Hunter on any questions whatsoever. She was really forthcoming. She was very open. She was very candid, and I would have to say, I felt, pretty truthful."

While it would make for interesting conversation, we really don't need any more details about her sex tape.

Sidebar: This morning Oprah announced that she will debut a new thrice-weekly talk show on her cable channel beginning fall 2011 called "Oprah's Next Chapter". The show, that we we told you about last year, will not be filmed in a studio, but have Oprah interviewing newsmakers in different parts of the world.
