High Infidelity: Rachel Uchitel Joins Ranks of Other Women

By Tricia Romano Posted Dec 4th 2009 06:45PM

The Other Woman occupies a scandalous place in history. Even though it takes two to tango, the Other Woman is usually the target of scorn and ridicule. High profile celebrities like Tiger Woods have it especially bad; their mistresses are often paraded around in the pages of the tabloids and on blogs, sometimes even with a scoring system comparing them all (Gawker!) We look at some of the more famous Other Women in recent history.

Rachel Uchitel
For some reason, maybe it's because she's the first one we learned about -- or maybe because she is the hottest -- that we consider Uchitel to be the prime Other Woman in the Tiger Woods case. Maybe it's because she's pretty high profile in her field, and dated celebs before, as well as Vegas and NYC club owner Jason Strauss. But maybe it's because, unlike the others, she's publicly been mum, and has opted to not embarrass him further by playing Tiger's taped messages to her for the world like Jaimee Grubbs.

Angelina Jolie

Before she was Ms. Pitt and one-half of Brangelina, she was the Other Woman, the so-called home-wrecker in America's perfect coupling of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. When Pitt and Aniston hooked up it made us like him more. Though beautiful, Aniston is more girl-next-door than sexy goddess. So when he went and shacked up with, yep, the sexy goddess, he slipped from perfect guy to jerkface for many. Jolie is the archetypical Other Woman: Impossibly beautiful, something of a bad girl, and sex-on-wheels. In other words: every woman's worst nightmare.

LeAnn Rimes
The country cutey just couldn't resist the charms of Eddie Cibrian on the set of their TV movie 'Northern Lights,' so they struck up a courtship in late 2008. Nevermind that both were married at the time. Oh well! They have since put their divorces in motion, at the same time Cibrian is fighting reports he's cheating on Rimes with ... another Other Woman. Drama!

Claire Danes
For a brief spell, Claire Danes -- not usually a fixture in the tabloids -- got the stink eye from all of Hollywood when she swiped Billy Crudup from his then-pregnant wife, Mary-Louise Parker in 2007. Seemingly very quickly bored, she soon dumped Crudup and his baggage for Hugh Dancy, who she's been with ever since. They were married this year in France.

Sienna Miller
Now, this is what we're looking for in the Other Woman. A tart with a "who-me?, who-cares?" attitude. A blonde vixen we can relate to; talented and pretty, with a good sense of fashion and a delicious sense of men. Let's take a look: first she dated Jude Law, and then, it turned out he had another woman (the nanny, wouldn't ya know it), and so she dumped him. Since then, she's dated Rhys Ifans and most notoriously, Balthazar Getty, who was very very very married (and now very, very, very separated). Turns out she wants to marry him, but she better look out -- for the Other Woman.

Where there is a sorry man you will find a sorry woman.... When a woman hooks up with a married man she is a true lowlife .but just too stupid to realize it. Married men ...they are the weaker sex so it is not a surprise!!

The best way to get a broken nose is to stick it into someone else's business.

I really dont see what the big fuss is about, yea he is a celeberity athlete, and yea cheating is wrong but facts are facts people cheat and will always will, it didnt matter that his wife is beauitful she could of been ugly and he would of still cheated now really we dont know what goes on with his marriage behind close doors, I just feel that its much harder for a famous person to cheat and get away with it rather then a non famous person he got caught and took days to say sorry to his family but in the end he is sorry for getting caught, last the woman he cheated with are butt ugly.

Angie is the only one who I don't consider a homewrecker. Brad upgraded and there is nothing wrong with that. No kids hurt either!

In regards to angelina jolie and brad pitt.Look how stupid a guy can be., he had a good and caring woman and left her for this angelina. What is she pretending to prove by adopting these kids, to show the world that she is a great mother.What is going to happen is simply that brad pitt is going to be paying child support all his life until he shot his brains out.!

Well Tiger it's not that I approve of what you've done becasue I'm a married person too. It's not your fault that the media set you on this high pedtals you played the hand the media dealt you. But it is your fault for choosing the women that you've chosen (money hungry whores!!!!!!!) Who whould save text messages and voicemails that a married man has sent them. Do you wanna know who would? "The money hungry whores" who had plan to blackmail your BLACK ASS anyway!!!!!! You made all nine of your beds so lay in them. A sister would have kept quiet and kept your business out of the streets. She would have been proud to your mistress and wouldn't have dared to mess up her paper!!!!!

I guess in the big picture, it's no real big deal that Tiger was cheating with one woman. Even though it is a betrayal, it's not as bad as the media wanted. So, their way of getting back at Tiger for being so secretive is to pay women to claim they performed sordid acts with him, while only really focusing on one woman, Rachel.

Spinning a story is nothing new to these tabloids. They do it for a living. What's the harm in tantalizing the story with more and more women when they know it will fan the flames and give them more attention. Isn't that what keep these folks in business, creating stories that isn't true. Real scandal play themselves out. Nothing much to add. But, Tiger's adultry was a nice and juicy one and they know he couldn't sue them for slander because he did cheat.

Also, the media protected themsleves by claiming they did not know what to believe as they too helped the tabloids push the scandal. Media gets revenge on Tiger. Tabloids receive lots of hits on their websites. Tiger's image is shredded. "All is fair in love and war."
