Tiger Woods Mistress Gets Vindictive

Tiger Woods

Jamie Grubbs, the woman that alleges she had a 31-month affair with golfer Tiger Woods, which contained 20 sexual encounters, has vindictively sold and released a voice mail message from the athlete, seeking money and fame.

The voice mail message contains audio of Woods asking her to change the name setting on her phone, as his wife checked it, saw her name and became upset, suspecting an affair.

Grubbs did not have to release the voice mail message or sell her story, as it is undoubtedly hurting his family. She should not be made into a celebrity over what is unkind conduct. Fame should be earned, not stolen.

Seeking some of the attention the case has garnered, another woman, located in Las Vegas, named Kalika, has come forward alleging a 7-month affair with Woods as well.

Woods released a statement on his website today, apologizing for his transgressions in the aforementioned matters. I hope Woods' family will be able to work things out, with he and his wife remaining married, taking care of their children. Do not let this scandal get the best of you.

Tiger comments on current events

By Tiger Woods 12/02/2009 - I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.
