Elizabeth Edwards quietly held a "grand" opening for her Chapel Hill furniture store Saturday with her husband by her side.
Edwards opened Red Window, named for a store her mother ran. Her children and John Edwards were there to help.
WRAL asked Elizabeth Edwards about the stories swirling about her husband's affair, a grand jury investigation over possible payments to the mistress and the child that John Edwards may or may not have fathered out of wedlock.
"We have not been detracted, even distracted too much by reports we cannot control," Edwards told WRAL. "All we can do is go about our own lives."
In a report on the opening carried by WNCT in Greenville, John Edwards said he has been helping with the store.
"I do more moving furniture than anything else," he said. "This is Elizabeth's deal, but everybody in the family is trying to help support her."
