John Edwards Would Prefer You Don’t See His Sex Tape Deposition

(By Glynnis MacNicol, Mediaite) - The trials of John Edwards continue. Literally and figuratively. Today’s newscycle is such that Edwards debacles may seem like a bit of a distant memory, but the philandering former Presidential candidate is still in court tangling over access to the sex tape he allegedly made with Rielle Hunter, his former mistress and mother of his child.

Edwards, it seems, would prefer the public not view the tape. It’s worth noting this is not actually his court case. The battle of the sex tape is being waged between Hunter and former Edwards’ aide Andrew Young who penned a tell-all book about his former boss’s bad behavior earlier this year. Short version. Young has the tape in his possession, Hunter wants it back, Edwards doesn’t want the media to know his thoughts on the matter.

From ABC: “Edwards’ attorney is asking that if his deposition is videotaped that it not be released to the media unless it is shown in court and becomes public record. He’s also asking that questioning be limited to custody of the videotape.” I’m going to hazard a guess this is not going to end well.
