Rielle Hunter Doesn't Think She's a Homewrecker

John Edwards' baby mama -- and sex tape co-star -- said the former presidential candidate's wife didn't know about the full extent of their relationship until after he gave an interview to ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff admitting the affair, according to the AP.

"She didn't know until after the interview," Rielle Hunter told Oprah about Elizabeth Edwards. "He came clean with her after that interview...Everyone who was close to — well, who knew all the facts and knew the truth said, please don't do that interview. Please don't do that interview. Elizabeth really wanted him to do that interview. She wanted him to say, you know, you've got to get out in front of it. You've got to, you know, say the truth and speak the truth. And she didn't know the truth. So it's like you can't do the interview and not speak the whole truth."

Oprah said she thinks Rielle is speaking out "because she wants to tell her own truth."

"What surprised me most?" Oprah said. "She doesn't think she's a homewrecker. Doesn't think of herself as a home wrecker and she does not think she played a key role in breaking up the Edwards marriage."

The full interview airs Thursday on Oprah.
