Rachel Uchitel Talks Moving on Post-Tiger

By Sarah Crow Posted Nov 15th 2010 05:00PM

Tiger Woods' former mistress, Rachel Uchitel, has been slammed in the press as a homewrecker, but the 35-year-old insists she's just a girl who made a very public mistake.

Uchitel, a nightclub manager who has also been linked to married actor David Boreanaz, tells the UK's Daily Mail, "I never set out to hurt anyone."

The former Bloomberg Television producer says that following her affair with Woods, she has been filled with regret, insisting that she has since cleaned up her act. Despite Uchitel's seeming penchant for married men, her earlier relationships were more traditional. Long before taking up with Woods, Uchitel was engaged to investment banker Andy O'Grady, who was killed in the September 11th attacks.

Uchitel says she never expected her life to become the subject of public scrutiny. "If things had been different and 9/11 had never happened, my life would have taken a different course," she says. "I'd be fat and happy, living in a big house in Long Island with a load of kids."

Although her reported $10 million settlement with Woods prevents her from talking specifically about their affair, she is open about the fallout. "People have called me all sorts of names, but they don't know me. I am not the same as the other girls and I never ever imagined in my wildest dreams that I would be caught up in a scandal like this."

Uchitel, who claims to suffer from a "love addiction" says that she has learned her lesson from the affair. "I am not a whore," she says. "I will never, ever do that again."

The next move for the self-described "scarlet woman"? Uchitel plans to get her private investigator's license.

"I will be hunting down cheating husbands. It is all part of me moving on with my life."
