EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Tiger Trying To Lessen Wife's Anger, But Needs To Focus On Recovery, Says Dr. Drew
Posted on Feb 19, 2010 @ 06:31PM - 19 comments
Tiger Woods is trying to appease his wife but needs to focus on his recovery, Dr. Drew Pinsky told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
The board certified addiction specialist and author several books has brought the issue of addiction into the public spotlight and helped educate millions. But Dr. Drew expressed both praise and concern for Tiger based on the golfer's televised comments today.

"The first thing that impressed me was that Tiger is focusing on his problem and focusing on his family and putting his career and golf on the backburner," said Dr. Drew. "I was concerned that he wouldn't do that. Tiger also said he felt comfortable with his peer group where he was getting treatment,and that is a very good sign that he feels comfortable in that environment."
While some have criticized Tiger for not admitting publicly that he is a sex addict, Dr. Drew said it wasn't necessary for Tiger to say it because it's a very personal decision for anyone battling addiction.

But the doctor is concerned about something else. "He kept saying what a bad person he was," Dr. Drew told RadarOnline.com. "He apologized to everyone, we get it, but it was very distressing to me that he just kept beating himself up.
"Tiger mentioned Elin at least 15 times. He is trying to appease Elin's anger. That isn't his responsibility, that is Elin's. Tiger needs to focus on his recovery.

"Tiger doesn't seem to have capitulated to the process, he seems to be trying to explain his actions. Tiger must let go and flow into the process."
And Tiger's demeanor alarmed Dr. Drew. To me, Tiger looked very depressed, which is cause for concern," Dr. Drew said. "It's also unusual for him to be going back to rehab after being out.

"Now obviously I don't have first-hand information about Tiger's treatment, but it's unusual to me that he is going back to rehab. Usually when someone leaves rehab they go to a step down lower level of care, maybe that is what he is doing, or maybe that isn't possible because he is Tiger Woods. But just going back to rehab, that could be a sign that things aren't going well."

Dr. Drew added that he would have liked Tiger to say, "I'm not doing well, I'm getting help. This has caused me to do things and taken me down a road that I could have never anticipated."
The bottom line, says Dr. Drew: "Tiger Woods is not a bad guy, he is struggling with a very serious addiction."

EXCLUSIVE: Tiger Woods Reps Fighting With Each Other Over How To Handle Scandal
Posted on Dec 12, 2009 @ 05:08PM - 26 comments
Tiger Woods’ representatives have been fighting with each other behind the scenes for weeks over how to handle his growing scandal, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.
The fighting has raged as Tiger’s scandal mushroomed, leading to Tiger’s announcement Friday that he’s taking an indefinite break from golf.
RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively it was strongly suggested to Tiger’s people early in the scandal that they bring in a public relations crisis management team but the various factions couldn’t agree and it never happened.

His management team, his lawyers and close friends have disagreed about the correct approach to manage events as the scandal has grown. The result: “There’s been a lot of finger pointing in Tiger’s camp as things have gotten worse for him,” one person very familiar with the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Tiger’s various statements released on his Web site have done nothing to stem the onslaught of bad publicity.
Just a few weeks ago Team Tiger only had to deal with Rachel Uchitel, the golfer’s mistress of the past five years, whose relationship was exposed by the National Enquirer and Star magazine. Tiger’s people tried but failed to stop publication of the story detailing the affair.

That story was so explosive it set into motion a chain of other events, including Tiger’s late-night one-car crash after arguing with his wife and more women coming forward to reveal affairs. As Tiger’s secret cheating life spilled into public, his reps were divided on how to handle it, leaving no one speaking for Tiger publicly.

“They’ve been completely ineffective in handling this scandal from a pr standpoint,” the source said. “It’s just gotten worse and worse.” Because the reps couldn’t agree on the right course of action, Tiger was given different advice by different people working for him. Sources familiar with the situation said Tiger is ultimately calling the shots but the lack of one clear recommendation on how to handle his public image at this time has led to chaos in Tiger’s camp.

A fortune in Tiger endorsements is at stake as the golfer and his team figure out how to handle his public image. AT&T told RadarOnline.com that it is “evaluating” its relationship with Tiger at this point and Gatorade pulled his Tiger Focus group and has not publicly committed to continue working with him.

Meanwhile Tiger has yet to hire a crisis pr firm and develop an overall strategy for dealing with his image and has only made contact with the public through statements released on his Web site.

These are the first photos to surface of the accident scene and they were obtained by WFTV.com and Channel 9 Eyewitness news in Orlando.

The Woman At Center of Tiger Woods' Cheating Scandal
Posted on Nov 29, 2009 @ 11:34AM - 14 comments
Tiger Woods isn't saying much about his mysterious early morning one-car crash, but Rachel Uchitel, the woman linked to him in a cheating scandal is.
And so is the National Enquirer.
PHOTOS: Rachel Leaves Her Apartment In NYC
In a front-page story, the Enquirer reported that Uchitel has been carrying on a secret "sexting" relationship with the golfing great. One friend of Rachel's, Ashley Samson, said that Rachel told her she was having an affair with Tiger and "we're in love."
Rachel denies the story but as she has spoken to various news outlets the Enquirer has poked many, many holes in her denials, which is riddled with contradictions.
What's more while Rachel has said she's no "home wrecker," Star magazine reported exclusively earlier this year that she had an affair with Bones married star David Boreanz.
RadarOnline.com has independently confirmed that she did have an affair with Boreanz.
Cops Hope To Interview Woods Sunday About His SUV Crash
And the Enquirer's hard-hitting retort to Rachel notes that she said she barely knew Ashley Samson, the friend who talked on-the-record. In fact, the New York Daily News reported Sunday that Rachel told them she didn't know Ashely at all. But that assertion was countered with a photo the Enquirer produced of Rachel and Ashley and the fact that they traveled to Spain together!
Rachel also told the Enquirer that she traveled to Australia recently with a boyfriend, but then later admitted she didn't. She also denied that she was in the same hotel as Tiger, but an Enquirer reporter eye-witnessed her there.
And while Rachel told one news outlet that she offered to take a polygraph test for the Enquirer, RadarOnline.com has learned that she did not, and in fact turned down the Enquirer when it asked her to take a polygraph.

And that apparently is just the beginning. The Enquirer not only has multiple sources who passed polygraphs regarding the story, but also has revealed it has even MORE information that it is holding back information that is explosive.
