Elizabeth Edwards Still Refusing To Discuss Her "Stepmom" Status

Elizabeth Edwards was on The View today. The panelists didn’t shy away from tough questions regarding her husband’s affair with Rielle Hunter, but Elizabeth wouldn’t crack, despite Sherri Shepherd‘s appeal on a “personal” level.

Like Elizabeth, Sherri’s former husband had an affair, which resulted in a baby. (No paternity test has been conducted to determine the father of Rielle Hunter’s child. Yet.) Sharing a similar experience, Sherri tried to approach Elizabeth about this topic on a “personal” level, asking her whether or not John would take a paternity test, and how that would affect her life if she ended up having a “stepchild”. Elizabeth maintained what she said on Oprah, and said that the baby in question has nothing to do with her or her relationship with her husband.
