Tiger Woods Didn't Pay Rachel a Penny

Sources tell TMZ Rachel Uchitel did not make any financial deal with Tiger Woods -- and there are two reasons she torpedoed her scheduled news conference yesterday -- fear and secrets.

SNIP

She walked away without taking a cent from Tiger Woods. One very connected source said, "This was absolutely not about money."

Sources say Rachel became "scared for her safety" because she knows so much about Tiger, his alleged affairs and a variety of other Woods matters. We're told Tiger confided in Rachel ... she knows specifics about "other women," as well as information about Tiger's marriage.

She’s writing a book and why give out the dirt for free; unless Tiger is going to pay her to not publish one.

She better hire a bodyguard before she gets Donald Young’d by a vengeful black ex-lover.

Every time I see your name, I think of this:

I read a story today that casually mentioned that his Mother was in the house and responded to the crash scene. I had brought up the question of who else was there earlier or had they just came home from a dinner elsewhere as I doubt they spent turkey dinner alone...

"Tiger Woods Didn't Pay Rachel a Penny."

Is there some reason you and I should care? I can say I don't.

[GnuHere]

Eww, that has to be the worst Tiger photo ever.

Headline parsing?

-or-

How much is a baby Tiger worth?

as far as Tiger Woods is concerned this past week I feel as though I dropped blotter acid and am having a really bad trip that just keeps getting worse.

I say it’s a business decision.

Rachel has been playing concubine and arm candy to a succession of Alpha males for quite a few years. If she spills the beans on Tiger she will have damaged her brand and can forget about snagging any more clients/boyfriends to lavish her with expensive gifts, etc. She has to take the long view here and show that she can keep secrets.

I am so tired of all the coverage about Tiger. Who really gives a $hit, anyway. Let him either work it out with his wife and family or get a big and expensive “D” and be done with it. That’s just my opinion.

News travels fast. The Chinese are already making a movie about Tiger Woods’ crash. They are calling it, “Scratching Swede, Lying Tiger.”

"As far as Tiger Woods is concerned.

Not a serious issue. Stay away from the drugs.

And the Moon is made of green cheese.

Ya know what gets me..that first she denied it..then was going to have a news conference..and then..decides not to..but, just cant help saying why. Was it necessary to say that she knows about his other women, his marriage, which should be private, etc?

If this guys wife or anybodys wife, has to consider if she will stay or go..it sure doesnt help when they have to hear crap like this. Doesnt anyone see the wife as a human being? These bimbos sure want to be front and center, any way they can, at anyones expense. Maybe somebody should “flatten” them.

As far as tiger and the wife (if she intends to stay) they should disappear for a year..they have plenty of money to do that. This will all die down and they will then have someone elses private business to air.

"Who really gives a $hit, anyway."

I don't. There at least two of us.

Apparently Tiger was blinded by lust.

Tiger is a celebrity, and he uses his name and reputation to make billions of dollars. What he does off of the golf course matters. He is very much concerned about his “brand,” for he knows that it is worth an astronomical amount of income. He forfeited his right to privacy the first time he plastered his face all over a Wheaties box. Tiger means nothing to me, but he does impact our culture. This is a celebrity driven society. That is the reality. I wish it were not, but it is. Obama is a prime example of what happens to a nation which is built upon a cult of personality. People are using the “its no one’s business” argument as a way of deflecting moral judgments against Tiger. It gives Tiger an ethical pass. Just as there are categories of moral and cultural relativism, maybe we should add a third category called celebrity relativism. Objective moral standards do not apply to celebrities. By ignoring Tiger's actions, as a cultural icon, is destructive to society. No society can exist for long based upon “celebrity relativism.”

The big hammer still needs to drop on Tiger and it has nothing to do with women.

Think Andre Agassi.
