Woman Who Leaked Tiger Affair Wants to Sue Rachel Uchitel For Slander

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 4th 2010 07:55AM

Ashley Samson has had a bad time since the National Enquirer printed her news of Tiger Woods' affair with Rachel Uchitel. Samson maintained her claim that an affair took place, even as Uchitel denied the allegations. Now, in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Samson says, "[Uchitel] has made my life hell. I have been attacked by fans of Tiger Woods and friends of mine even are basically upset because she made me out to look like the bad guy when in fact the truth is he's the one that was cheating on his wife ... I'm so mad I'm thinking of suing her for trashing my name."

Samson told RadarOnline.com that her intel came straight from Uchitel. "They were in love," Samson said. "She was in love with him and he was in love with her and they were going to be together forever ... I heard them on the phone telling each other that I miss you so much and love you so much."

Responding to Uchitel's claims that the two women are barely acquainted, Samson said, "There are clearly photographs of us... She wasn't very discreet about [the affair] at all. She was bragging about it and she gave us very graphic details about it."

"She read multiple text messages to me," Samson claimed. "One in particular saying that Tiger was saying that he wanted to be with her forever. It was just her and him together forever."

"I've been offered lots of money to deny my story, but I chose not to take the money because the truth is the truth," she said.

Uchitel was the first in a long string of women said to have had relationships with the disgraced golf star. The possible divorce between Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren - thanks to the massive infidelity scandal plaguing the athlete - could wind up being one of the most costly in history. In Life & Style report, Woods may lose more than $400 million should he divorce his wife.

The Tiger Woods Scandal

A major sponsor announced Sunday that it is dropping golf superstar Tiger Woods amid a scandal over his personal life. Global consulting firm Accenture PLC said Woods is "no longer the right representative" after the "circumstances of the last two weeks."

Woods has been plagued by scandal since he crashed his black Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and tree next to his Florida home on Nov. 27. The crash came the same week the National Enquirer ran a story alleging that Woods was having an affair.

Woods released a statement on his Web site Friday, saying he was taking an "indefinite break" from golf to focus on his family amid revelations of his "infidelity." On Saturday, The Associated Press reported that Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, recently purchased a home on a Swedish island that is only accessible by boat. Here, the couple attend a Cardinal game with their daughter, Sam, on Nov. 21.

In the two weeks since Woods' crash, more than a dozen women have been linked to the golfer. Rachel Uchitel, pictured here, was the subject of the Enquirer story that led to several other women coming forward. Uchitel has denied the allegations.

Another alleged mistress, Jaimee Grubbs, later provided Us Weekly magazine a voicemail she said came from Woods two days before Thanksgiving, asking her to remove her name from her voicemail. "My wife went through my phone and, uh, may be calling you," a man who called himself "Tiger" said in the voicemail.(Source: AP)

So let me get this straight. Samson is suing Rachel for trashing her name? That's ridiculous. She shouldn't have opened her mouth in the first place as it was not Samson's business to tell. Honestly, her life's been hell? Think about Elin and the children who did not need to find out through the media and have it constantly rubbed in her face that her husband cheated.

By George

So, you're saying the healthy way for this situation would be to keep it swept under the rug? That would have been healthier for Elin and the kids? Keep the secret alive? So it can continue? The bad guy(s) in this would be Tiger and the multiple whores involved...NOT the person that blew the lid off this. Sometimes the truth hurts, but at least the messenger has brought it out into the open and it can be dealt with. I doubt Elin would have want it kept a secret from her.

By valeskas

Woman you really are stupid. This man cheated on his wife with over 10 women, the people adored him for his so called clean image and he is married, making money of us regular people, because we believed he was the only sportsman with no scandal. We bought the things he promoted and all of it was a sham. On top he screwed them without protection, what about his wife???? Hopefully she has tests done, to see, that she has no sexual transmitted diseases from his escapades with girls who have every minute a differend man in their beds.

By lolabull

You're totally correct. The issue in this story is Samson considering a lawsuit against a woman she herself, whether it was her mission or not, basically thrust into a nightmare. The cheating part is secondary in nature as it pertains to this story.

Bottom line, don't trust anyone with your personal buisness. 99% of the time it will hurt you later.

By vogtrk

How ridiculous. Definitely don't shoot the messenger! If you are doing something your ashamed of or would not want others to know about you shouldn't be doing it! All of you on here defending Utichel makes me wonder if you are all cheaters waiting to be found out! Elin is entitled to know what went on no matter what the source, especially if her spouse is to big a coward!

By johnjfoote

Sampson is so self centered .She is sick and can only see her self in this and no one else.

You are so right..it is absolutely no ones business what Tiger did on his own personal time. You have ruined the lives of Tiger his wife and family, and caused a big uproar all around, I am surprised that you are still walking around. Shame of you, you are pathetic. If his wife found out her self that is something for them to work out them selves. Not what you did. I cannot stress enough that you should be thrown to the wolves.

By George!!

That's the problem with society. They shoot the messenger instead of those directly causing the problem. It's a really sick way that society rationalizes their feelings.

By MarineE7

George the porn star is suing because she feels her reputation is being trashed. "[Uchitel] has made my life hell. I have been attacked by fans of Tiger Woods and friends of mine even are basically upset because she made me out to look like the bad guy when in fact the truth is he's the one that was cheating on his wife ... I'm so mad I'm thinking of suing her for trashing my name."

BOY ARE YOU RIGHT......

They are both trash.

By Dash

When are women going to learn to keep their mouths shut??? They talk waaaay too much!

By Quinn

Is this story over yet????

Dash, man boast to each other about their little escapades, you should know.

By Dee

I agree, Why shoot the messenger? First off
I dont think it right for anyone to divulge some-thing about anyone, celebrity or otherwise.

Keep it to yourself what you know about someone. One day it could happen to you.

By Diana

This low life tramp needs to sue the whole country then. So another woman spoke badly about her? It seems this 'woman' has her head in the sand. The entire country talks bad about her every day. She leaked the story in the begining for attention, maybe even for money. No one likes a home wreaker. Its these kinds of woman that give all woman a bad name.

By Kathy

She's not the home wrecker. Tiger gets credit for that all by himself.
