rachel Florida, Nov 29 (THAINDIAN NEWS) There has been speculation that Tiger Woods had an accident at home because of his affair with Rachel Uchitel. According to reports, apparently his wife find out and she wasn’t amused at all. However at the other end of the spectrum, Rachel Uchitel denied the reports that she is having an affair with the golfer Tiger Woods.
She said that, “God forbid Tiger got into a car wreck because of this false report of him having an affair. This is nothing to do with me. We have never had an affair, and the claims we did are completely false.” The 34-year old New York socialite said that the media concocts all these spicy stories up.She in fact claimed that ‘The National Enquirer’ paid a friend $25,000 to cook up the story about her and Tiger Wood’s affair. She claims that she is completely innocent in this regard and to prove her point, she even offered to take a polygraph for the newspaper to prove her innocence, but “they refused it. They told me it was too late and the story was running anyway.”“Other things have happened in my past that would prevent me from doing anything like this. I have traveled with men that are quietly more important than Tiger Woods and it is incredibly difficult to get to their hotel room,” she said, with reference to the report that she sneaked into Tiger Wood’s hotel room in Australia earlier this year.And for the second consecutive day Tiger Woods remained unavailable for comments, so the speculators and the media had a complete hey-day, with the rumors of the affairs flying thick and thin.
