Almost father-in-law of alleged Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel: She's a stranger to me now

The New Jersey man who would have been Rachel Uchitel's father-in-law - had it not been for 9/11 - said Friday that Tiger Woods' purported mistress is a stranger to him now.

James O'Grady said he hasn't seen Uchitel since they buried his son Andrew, a bond trader who worked in the Twin Towers and who was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks.

"She was a nice person," he told the Daily News. "She is not the same person anymore."

The photograph of a weeping Uchitel carrying flyers bearing pictures of James Andrew O'Grady became one of the iconic images from the national tragedy.

"My son loved her," O'Grady, 67, said at his home in Harrington Park, N.J.

"She loved my son. Maybe 9/11 had an impact on her. She was a different person back then. She has changed."

O'Grady said they are feeling the fallout from the Woods sex scandal.

"It's painful for the family that my son gets dragged into this," he said. "He has nothing to do with this."

Asked whether he had anything else to say about Uchitel, O'Grady said, "If you want to know what she is up to, check with A-Rod and Jeter."

Richard Rubenstein, a spokesman for Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez, said, "He has never met her. He does not know her."

A spokesman for Yankee captain Derek Jeter, who reportedly introduced the New York-based party planner to Woods, did not return a call for comment. Uchitel, 34, became infamous when the National Enquirer reported that she was carrying on an affair with Woods, who is married to Elin Nordegren.

That’s what I thought, too. Now she’s a poster girl for plastic surgery. She looked better before all that work.
What a waste.

They weren’t married. Why would she get any insurance money? Unless she was listed as his beneficiary. People rarely do that until they are married.

That picture of her crying makes me feel like she is more human. I remember watching all those people crying and looking for their loved ones right after 9/11. Somewhere under all that plastic, is a heart. I hope she can get it together and leave other women’s husbands alone.

Maybe another moral dimension in the Tiger Woods story?

How NOT to respond to the sudden, devastating loss of a loved one.

A lot of women when faced with the death of a loved one (when youthful) go sex crazy.

I like Derek Jeter and hope he has not been involved with this woman - even though he is single.

I think we need to ask the dry cleaner for Rachel Uchitel’s sixth grade teacher what he thinks about her now. Its very important information.

It’s not unusual for someone to change after such a terrible thing. I actually feel kind of bad for the poor girl. Lost herself to grief. I’ve known others to change like this. It’s not very fun.

I wonder how much Tiger changed after Earl’s passing, and if that was when he started to go over to the dark side?

Lorrie Morgan (though she married most of them...)

Can we call him “Cheetah” Woods instead of Tiger now?

Was her fiance a high profile individual?

She’s certainly traveling in some high income circles now.
