OK!After canceling her press conference last week, where she was supposed to discuss her relationship with Tiger Woods, Rachel Uchitel is finally talking and—what do you know?—she chose to open up to OK! magazine. (Hey, press conferences are freesies and a girl's gotta eat.)
Unlike her cruder counterparts, Rachel takes the classy road. Meaning no talk of condoms, rough sex or Tiger at all. Instead Rachel poses for some superhappy photos with her dogs in her New York City apartment, swoons over Twilight and explains her pets' names like she's a real celebrity. And just for the record, she's "totally Team Edward." Tiger girls, they're just like us!
The closest she gets to talking about the Tiger situation is this:
"In every story, you need a villain and a hero. I've been characterized as a villain. People have called me a homewrecker, gold digger, tramp, whore. I make mistakes, but I'm not those things. I have very good qualities. When you're judged by the nation, it's really difficult. It's horrible."
Pretty heart-wrenching stuff. Good thing Rachel's a survivor, though:
"I'm not a whore. I'm not a tramp. I'm not an escort. I'm not stupid or a bimbo. I'm very strong. I will survive this. At the same time, I'm vulnerable. I'm not here to make myself into a victim, but I want people to remember I'm human—there's a whole other side to me. I'm caring and generous and the type of person you'd want to be friends with. People have to give me a chance."
In other Rachel news, it appears emails between the vulnerable dog lover and Tiger are starting to leak. According to Radar Online, the emails feature Tiger dissing his wife, Elin Nordegren. In one obtained by InTouch, Tiger writes to Rachel:
"I finally found someone I connect with, someone I have never found like this. Not even at home. You want someone to witness your life. I want you to lay next to me, lay on me or where ever you want to lay. F--k. Why didn’t we find each other years ago?"
Oh, Tiger, you're the worst affair-haver ever, leaving digital paper trails everywhere you go. Speaking of, he should really send over a bonus check to Rachel, she's doing a great job at not talking and playing it cool.
So does her ploy for sympathy work on you? Just a little? It's OK, you can admit it in the comments.
