Claim: John Edwards Beat His Cancer-Stricken Wife During Horrific End-of-Marriage Fight

This claim doesn't come from Andrew Young, who does in fact have an incentive to tart things up. But rather from a "close friend" of Elizabeth Edwards.

I suppose she might have a reason to tart things up, too.

But frankly this guy is such a scumbag I believe it.

Disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards reportedly beat his cancer-stricken wife during a horrific marriage-ending fight.

"John lost his temper big time," a close friend of Elizabeth's revealed to the National Enquirer. "She has the divorce papers drawn up, but she can amend them to charge John with domestic violence."

The couple's furious confrontation was the "final straw" in Elizabeth's decision to end their 32-year marriage after it was revealed that he had fathered a child out of wedlock with his ex-mistress Rielle Hunter, the newspaper revealed today in a bombshell report on its Web site.

"When [John] made the decision to hit me, it was over," a friend said Elizabeth told her.

Why didn't you come to me like a fucking man and tell me not to punch cancer-riddled women?
