Bunny Mellon loved John Edwards, but she couldn’t stand the two-timing pol’s cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, according to a news report.
The socialite philanthropist “was not enamored of his wife and didn’t want her to know” about the piles of money she was plowing into Edwards’ presidential campaign, Mellon lawyer Alex Forger told Newsweek.
Although Edwards played Mellon like a fiddle and allegedly used $750,000 of her money to cover up an affair, the heiress, 100, still admires her handsome pal.
“He would have been a great president,” Mellon gushed.
