Tiger Woods Rachel Uchitel Affair: Is it True?

Follow me on:

Is Tiger Woods really having an affair with Rachel Uchitel?

TMZ.com is reporting that Rachel Uchitel is the reason behind Tiger Woods recent car accident.

I'm not sure if the National Inquirer had published a story claiming Woods and Uchitel were having an affair or had plans to, whichever, Elin Woods got wind that there was an "affair." Armed with that knowledge she then armed herself with a golf club and went after her husband.

First reports were that Woods had facial lacerations due to the car accident. Woods however told a "non-law enforcement" type that Elin Woods confronted him about the alleged affair. The argument became heated and she scratched Wood's face.

Guess you could say she was marking her territory!

At this point, Tiger attempted to remove himself from the conflict via his Cadillac SUV but Elin followed him swinging a golf club.

Tiger became confused as his wife beat the SUV with the golf club...who wouldn't? He was so distracted he ran into a fire hydrant and then a neighbor's tree. After the accident, Tiger was in and out of consciousness.

Out of concern for his safety, Elin Woods took the golf club, broke out the rear window of the SUV, and enabled Tiger to escape the car. I had to chuckle at the idea of Elin rescuing Tiger with the same club she had earlier tried to assault him with.

Rachel Uchitel, a director of VIP services for Pink Elephant, a company that specializes in the New York club scene, admits she has met Woods on a number of occasions, but told the New York Post that she'd never seen him outside work and had never had an intimate relationship with him.

"This is nothing to do with me. We have never had an affair, and the claims we did are completely false... I am really upset about it because I am being portrayed as a home wrecker, when it simply isn't true."

I'm inclined to take Uchitel at her word, at least until the rest of the story comes out. Tiger and wife Elin are scheduled to have an official interview with the Florida Highway Patrol on Sunday about the cause of the accident.

For now, all is speculation and hopefully speculation that caused Elin Woods to over-react.

Personally, I think this has nothing to do w/the public. If Tiger Woods & his wife had an arguement, whose business is it beside theirs. He had an accident due to not paying attention; should his public personna now be ruined by the gossip columnists who have nothing to do in their own lives, but try to intrude on the lives of others. It’s none of our business!!!!

I find it interesting that no arrests were made. The rich can get away with domestic disputes where people and property is damaged and not go to jail. If this was in a poor neighborhood, Elin would be behind bars.

Every couple has a heated argument at some point in their marriage. Things are thrown, windows broken, clothes thrown in the front yard the list goes on.
If the situation with Tiger and his wife was just a domestic altercation he and his wife should have been up front with that, licked their wounds and try to go on with their normal life.
The lack of cooperation from the Woods only made it a media feeding frezy.
Now it has become was Tiger having a affair and whatnot.
Honesty is always the best policy.
