Earlier this month, news broke that a mother of four on the Upper East Side of Manhattan was running her own high-end brothel right out of her E. 78th Street apartment. Her clients were described as powerful individuals in the city, but it wasn't until now that an actual name leaked. And it's none other than disgraced former Democratic North Carolina Senator, John Edwards

Considering his checkered past, this claim isn't particularly surprising - this is, after all, the same man who cheated on his cancer-stricken wife - but it's still big news. The accusations that Edwards was a client of the brothel are being made by a former call girl from the prostitution ring, who says that she met up with Edwards in 2007 while he was campaigning for president. Additionally, the article claims that the police have known for years, but chose not to involve the feds as it was a "low-level infraction." 

None

Edwards is denying the claims, but we'd like to remind everybody that he also denied his affair with Rielle Hunter, and we all know how that turned out.
