New report says Elizabeth Edwards confided to a "close friend" about a violent argument during the holidays.
John Edwards exposed as lowlife and serial liar in tell-all by ex-aide. Elizabeth Edwards may add domestic violence to her divorce suit against her cheating husband, John, because he "beat" her, the National Enquirer reported.
The Enquirer said cancer-stricken Elizabeth confided to a "close friend" that a violent argument around Christmas was the final straw for the troubled marriage.
The ex-presidential hopeful last month admitted he fathered videographer Rielle Hunter's child. The Edwardses are separated.
A spokeswoman for John Edwards could not be reached. A former top aide to Edwards reacted to the report with disbelief, even amid revelations about his coverups and lies.
"I'm not in the business of defending John Edwards these days, [but] ... that sounds truly out of . ... the realm of possibility to me," the aide said.
