As the number of women claiming ties to apparent womanizer Tiger Woods expands rapidly, the first potential mistress is still taking a lot of heat. Rachel Uchitel was the first woman in the mix - aside from Tiger's wife Elin - and though she's consistently denied rumors of an affair, Uchitel can't avoid the spotlight. In an exclusive interviews with OK! magazine, Uchitel reveals her feelings on getting caught in the middle of the Woods sex scandal - and private emails obtained by In Touch Weekly suggest that Uchitel's relationship with the pro golfer was much more than a fling.Party promoter Uchitel, 34, told OK! that "in every story, you need a villain and a hero. I've been characterized as a villain."
She said, "People have called me homewrecker, gold-digger, tramp, whore. I make mistakes, but I'm not those things. I have very good qualities. When you're judged by the nation it's really difficult. It's horrible."
"I'm not a whore. I'm not a tramp. I'm not an escort. I'm not stupid or a bimbo," Uchitel insisted. "I'm very strong. I will survive this. At the same time, I'm vulnerable. I'm not here to make myself into a victim, but I want people to remember I'm human -- there's a whole other side to me. I'm caring and generous and the type of person you'd want to be friends with. People have to give me a chance."
Whether the affair occurred has yet to be conclusively determined, but the evidence is stacking up against Woods. Emails obtained by In Touch Weekly illustrate an ongoing relationship between Woods and Uchitel, including one from the athlete reading: ""I know it's brutal on you that you can't be with me all the time. I get it ... I finally found someone I connect with, someone I have never found like this. Not even at home. You want someone to witness your life. I want you to lay next to me, lay on me or where ever you want to lay ... Why didn't we find each other years ago. We wouldn't be having this conversation."
A source close to Uchitel told the magazine, "Tiger told her he would divorce his wife for her."

Ok so she is not a tramp or whore but, with no denial, she is definitely a homewrecker and gold-digger. So, she is a homewrecking, gold-digging, morally bankrupt Hollywierdo. Glad we cleared that up.
She knowingly had an affair with a married man,that makes her a TRAMP....cant change whe she did by denying it.....TRAMP is a nice word fpor what i think of her and others.......sure he is guilty......but the women are too
YOUR QUESTION IS SO SLANTED YOU ARE DISGUSTING
YOUN BELONG IN THEB SLUDGE WITH THEV GROCERY NSTORE
PAPERS. WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG YOUR MORALITY IS WORSE
He said he would divorce his wife for her. Lots of guys say that. Her problem was that she believed him. She may be a tramp, so what would you call him for doing what he did to Elin?
I do not think she is a whore a tramp or any of the bad names people want to reference.
Tiger could have said NO. He could have walked away.
Why do you even think she is the bad person. Tiger is married and sending the text that keeps her hanging on.
I hope he loses all his endorsements.
There are 3 sides to this story. HIS HERS and THE HONEST TRUTH.............
So let them live their lives as you and I do. I really do not care what they do or have done. I would almost bet that 90% of every one feels that way.2 Many gossipers and busy bodies out here as well as those EXPERTS who have all the answers. CNN is blessed with the know it alls.
So shut up and leave them alone and let tiger and his mistresses do their thing..
Gross, she is still a girl who went after a married man with two young kids....just because he gave a crap means nothing...she was obviously playing hard to get...and caught him in that sense
This thing is way out of control. When a women say no sex. it's no sex. If you are married to her; Damn! good bye to your sex life. When she say yes; happy days. That is bull stuffings. No equality. No justice. Let's deal with equality. Not women being in control of everything. Women have too much control of the sex. Men are just too weak to stand up and say enough! Too many bi-sexual women are in control. End it and let's have some equality.
I do not understand WHY the man runs around on his wife - looks like with 10 gals so far - and yet they make the woman out to be the bad person. Enough! Once again, the displace the blame from where it should be. Tiger clearly has a problem and if he had not been disloyal to his wife, then these women would not be involved to begin with. Look at the root of this issue and where it actually began. Shame on the media for blaming this woman.
I think he was following Nike's motto - "Just Do It" and do it, and do it, and do it, and do it, and do it....
He is a poor excuse for a man. Running around with what is it? 11 women now. I hope his wife takes him to the cleaners. Role model? I think not. What a douche
C'mon everyone let's get real PEOPLE cheat both sides. The woman here are the victims as well as his wife and family. A cheater can be very convincing as to why he or she wants to cheat. Most of the time they will scope out and pursue someone at a weak moment in there lives saying all those things they've been waiting to hear. Yea I've been played and have been the player as well I'm not proud of some of the things I've done but it's history. Karma has got me like anyone else who doesn't do the right thing, and I believe I'm a better person today (only God can judge me)LET IT GO!!! So they can do what needs to be done!!
Tiger says "lay" instead of "lie". Freudian slip?
Tramps give away. She's a whore, she is just getting paid later then most.
I think she's a homewrecking, gold digging, dirty whore who loves the spotlight she's in right now. This is why she's revealing the emails. She's enjoying the attention she's getting and the idea of further wrecking the home of that family. So this goes out to you Ms Uchitel: He used you only when he couldn't be with his wife. The wife is where the love is and the mistress is just for the dirty sex these animals need while on the road. So I hope you're proud of your yourself. You allowed some animal to use you like the cheap tramp that you are and then went back home and gave his love to his family.
Dont they all say they will leave the wife for them. He wa cheating with 9 other women besides this one, or was it 12? LOLOLOLOLOLOL... what a dumb bitty
STOP! whith the Tiger so called news!! Is trashy!Leave him alone..
Did anybody forget what happened to Magic Johnson? A tragic mistake on his part. But he was very married with children no less, and contacted HIV. That was nearly 20 years ago. Not much of that has been brought to bear in the most recent case with Tiger. Just a thought! Another situation where it is no bodies business except the families involved, and the media gets very rich for everyone's personal hype.....
I wonder if her large breasts are as phony as her botox lips?
Usually, when you need professionals to do a press release for you saying, "I am not a tramp, or a whore... I'm human," it is because you are such a tramp and a whore that people are rightly questioning your humanity.
