14 DAY TRIAL // The woman who made a name for herself, more or less willingly, as Tiger Woods’ Mistress Number 1, Rachel Uchitel, is currently shooting for the latest season of “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.” According to the National Enquirer (story via here), she and the golfer are still together and actually have plans of tying the knot and starting a family as soon as possible.
For the time being, though, Woods is very upset with Rachel for agreeing to go on the reality show, where she’s reportedly trying to kick an addiction to prescription drugs. Word has it that Tiger is afraid she might shoot her mouth off while in the presence of the cameras and thus do more damage to his career than she has already. His anger is twice as big since he’d already decided to marry her once his divorce from wronged wife Elin Nordegren was finalized, the tab further says.
“Tiger woods is making plans to marry his #1 mistress, party girl Rachel Uchitel, and have a baby with her, sources say, but he’s furious that she’s shooting episodes of the reality TV show ‘Celebrity Rehab’!… ‘When Rachel told him that she was going to do the show, Tiger went ballistic!’ disclosed an insider,” the tabloid writes in its latest print issue. No amount of explaining from Rachel could possibly make Tiger calm down, the same publication says.
“Rachel explained that she’d be paid $500,000 and could kick her pill habit at the same time. She knows she is seen as the woman who broke up Tiger’s marriage, and by doing the show she hopes to gain a sympathetic image by the time she marries him. But Tiger was living that she’d expose her addiction in such a public way. He’s embarrassed that the next Mrs. Tiger Woods will be known as a former drug addict, and he’s encouraged her to go into a private program. But he’s also worried that Dr. Drew ill influence Rachel to leave him, and paint him as a loser who can’t be counted on in a serious relationship,” the spy further dishes for the Enquirer.
This comes to contradict earlier reports that Uchitel was offered and accepted a $10 million payout from Tiger under an iron-clad confidentiality agreement that barred her from ever talking about her supposed affair with the Tiger while he was still married to Elin.
