The woman John Edwards admitted to having an affair with made disparaging comments about Edwards' wife Elizabeth in an interview two years ago, says the New York Post.

Talking to Newsweek reporter Jonathan Darman in late 2006, Rielle Hunter reportedly said, "[Elizabeth] does not give off good energy," and claimed: "She didn't make eye contact with me."

Hunter, a filmmaker, was documenting Edwards' presidential campaign at the time. She spoke with the magazine after she told them she had been fired, reportedly telling them of Elizabeth: "Someday, the truth about her is going to come out."

When Darman spoke again with Hunter last summer, she reportedly said she was in love, but wouldn't identify with whom, says the Post.

Edwards released a statement to ET saying that his affair with Hunter "took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then."

Elizabeth, who is presently battling cancer, affirmed her support for her husband in a separate statement, after news of the affair broke.
