After a contentious and protracted legal drama over paternity and child support, throughout which Hunter Biden offered Lunden Roberts little more thanagita, she has continually given him, and his family, grace. In interviews to plug her new book, “ Out of the Shadows: My Life Inside the Wild World of Hunter Biden ,” out Aug. 20 , Roberts is downright charitable in her recounting of events — even as she admits that no one in the Biden family, not even Hunter, has yet met his 5-year-old daughter, Navy Joan.
Roberts, the girl’s cast-aside mother , excuses much of Hunter’s terrible behavior as symptoms of his drug use, even telling NewsNation that he is “not this villain that the media portrays him to be.” But who is he? Complex and charming, according to Roberts. She has shown great restraint for the sake of her sweet towheaded child, who was denied the last name Biden , lest she be a stain on the pristine family tree.
(Roberts now says, after negotiations, that Navy will be able to make the choice when she gets older.) It’s a striking contrast to the way the Bidens have treated their inconvenient family addition and her mother. The Delaware dynasty has regarded the Arkansas native as toxic sludge and a backwater strumpet parading her illegitimate kid around for clout.
They’ve denied Roberts, and their young granddaughter, at every turn until they could no longer hide from the terrible public relations.Faced with a self-inflicted scandal, the Bidens quietly dro.
