It keeps getting worse for the Edwards. Now his nurlfriend was a notorious Manhattan party girl.
Author Jay McInerney told the New York Post that Alison Poole, the protagonist of his 1988 novel “Story of My Life,” was based on Hunter, whom he dated for a few months in the 1980s back when she was Lisa Druck.
“She’s a nice girl,” McInerney told the Post’s Page Six. “She used to be a real party girl. When she wasn’t out at nightclubs, she was taking acting classes. We dated for only a few months, but in that period, I spent a lot of time with her and her friends, whose behavior intrigued and appalled me to such an extent that I ended up basing a novel on the experience. It was narrated in the first person from the point of view of an ostensibly jaded, sexually voracious 20-year-old who was inspired by Lisa. I certainly thought of Alison Poole as a sympathetic and ultimately endearing character.”
To which MoDo responds:
So narcissist walks into a New York bar and meets a legendarily wacky former Gotham party girl — whose ’80s exploits were chronicled in a novel by her former boyfriend Jay McInerney because the behavior of her and her friends “intrigued and appalled me.” When you appall Jay McInerney, you know you’re in trouble.
Meanwhile, Riell Hunter’s sister is taunting Edwards, daring him to take a paternity test. But $114,000 seems like enough money to keep Riell Hunter from participating in any paternity test. I wonder if that crack John made about ‘not loving her’ is going to cost him another 20 grand…or more?
