14 DAY TRIAL // Rachel Uchitel, dubbed by the media Tiger Woods’ Mistress Number One because she’s believed to have been his “official” mistress for quite a while, is now seeking help for a reported addiction to prescription pills on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.” Part of the reason why she was approached for the show in the first place is her willingness to speak about the Tiger affair, word has it.
Even if she were willing to go into the specifics of the affair she had with the world’s most famous golfer, she still wouldn’t be able to do so now, TMZ reports. Woods has not been in contact with Uchitel for many months now but he’s still found a way to gag her from talking to the media – and cashing in – on their once-secret liaison. Woods’ attorneys contacted Uchitel to warn her that she’s not to go into the details of their romance neither with the other cast mates of “Celebrity Rehab,” nor when the cameras are rolling.
“Tiger Woods mistress #1 Rachel Uchitel is not becoming his wife #2 – but TMZ has learned Tiger’s camp did reach out to her recently. Despite recent reports, sources close to Rachel tell us she and Tiger are not getting married, and Rachel is not pregnant with a little Tiger cub. We’re told they haven’t spoken to each other in months,” TMZ writes, first putting to rest ongoing rumors that Tiger is considering of making an honest woman out of Rachel, as the saying goes, as soon as his divorce from Elin Nordegren is finalized.
“But according to our sources, Rachel recently heard from Tiger’s attorneys because they were concerned about her doing ‘Celebrity Rehab.’ We’re told they called to make sure Tiger was not on the tip of Rachel’s tongue – she’s not allowed to mention him publicly under the terms of that $10 million deal she got. Production sources connected with ‘Celebrity Rehab’ tell us Rachel never uttered a certain golfing great’s name,” the same media outlet further says.
As we also reported on a previous occasion, in the aftermath of the cheating scandal and as more and more women kept on coming forth with their stories of how they’d had affairs with Tiger, Uchitel was offered $10 million in exchange for complete silence. Under the iron-clad confidentiality agreement, she was never to address any Tiger-related question – ever.
