13. POLITICALLY INCORRECT

In 2010, it was discovered that ex-politician John Edwards was the father of campaign aide and videographer Rielle Hunter’s child. The former U.S. Senator from North Carolina had an affair with Hunter, which produced a daughter, though in the two-year period he denied this fact. Already on the last legs of his political career because of this reveal, the public’s discovery about the child made things even worse. Not long after the truth came out, Edwards and his wife of thirty-three years separated and she died of cancer shortly thereafter. So much for the family values Edwards promoted.
