Spokesperson for Elizabeth Edwards on Explosive New Allegations

A spokesperson for Elizabeth Edwards is going on the record regarding explosive new allegations about Elizabeth's estranged husband, former senator John Edwards.

Elizabeth, who announced earlier this week that she is separated from John, responded through her rep to allegations she says were made in a book, The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought Him Down, written by John's former aide Andrew Young.

"Elizabeth is moving on with her life and wants to put this difficult chapter behind her. It was an excruciatingly painful period for her and she [has] no interest in rehashing the past. Based on the limited portions of the book that have been made available, it is clear it contains many falsehoods and exaggerations," the rep told ET.
