Rielle Hunter is having regrets after pictures from her GQ photo shoot have leaked onto the Internet, says Barbara Walters on Monday's episode of "The View." Walters said that Hunter called her in tears over the racy pictures in GQ magazine, saying she trusted the photographer, Mark Seliger, and simply "went with the flow" despite her better judgment.
In the pictures, Hunter can be seen lying on a bed full of stuffed animals, only wearing a white dress shirt and pearls.
Walters said that Hunter, upon seeing her pictures in GQ, found the images to be "repulsive." The co-host of "The View" also said Hunter screamed for two hours after seeing the photos.
Rielle Hunter burst onto the public scene in 2008 when she became romantically linked to then-presidential candidate John Edwards in a National Enquirer story. After Edwards ended his campaign, more rumors swirled that he fathered a child with Hunter, who is a former actress and film producer.
Edwards would eventually admit to the affair, saying he was indeed the father of Hunter's baby.

PLEASE! I saw the footage of the photo shoot. She was all into it, and he was showing her the pics on the laptop as they went along.
I agree with Leah, I think this woman is full of it!
OK, wait a second, you're telling me that she wouldn't be able to change her mind? That at the time, she might've thought it was a good idea, but upon seeing how the photos looked and what they suggested, that she was tricked?
This photographer knows he was wrong.
Racy?? Give me a break. If you've EVER looked at GQ, their images are sexy and tasteful. She should be proud of herself, but of course she's an idiot.
I think you presented this article well. The subject had many opportunities to reconsider, the #1 being to not enter into a photo shoot at all. Eugene, Oregon Dogs Examiner
