Mistress says Tiger owes her an apology

One of Tiger Woods’ many mistresses says that the golfer owes her an apology.

From the Orlando Sentinel:

“I would like an apology and to wonder why, if he did have all these other women, why he was so insistent on me staying?” Los Angeles cocktail waitress Jamie Grubbs tells KTLA. “Why put me through that if I didn’t mean anything?”

Is she serious? Did she actually believe that Woods was banging her on the side and not seeing other women at the same time? He’s Tiger freaking Woods – if he was cheating on his wife with one woman, chances are there were others.

I hope that this is just her attempt to get some publicity, because if she seriously is looking for an individual apology from Tiger than she’ll be waiting a long time. I can see the press conference now:

Media: “Tiger, Jamie Grubbs is seeking an apology for the way you treated her. Do you have anything to say?”

Tiger Woods: “Who?”

Media: “Jamie Grubbs? She’s a Los Angeles cocktail waitress?”

Woods: “Hmm. I’m usually nice to cocktail waitresses…usually tip them 15 percent.”

Media: “No Tiger, this was one of your mistresses: Jaime Grubbs.”

Woods: “Not ringing a bell.”

Report: Tiger was in an Ambien-induced stupor when he crashed car

According to FOX Sports.com, new details have emerged surrounding Tiger Woods’ car accident, including how he had taken Ambein right before he attempted to flee from his pissed off wife.

Among the details: The half-hour conversation with Uchitel satisfied Elin’s curiosity until details from the National Enquirer story began to leak on the Internet. She again confronted her golfer husband on Thanksgiving night, who argued with her and then took an Ambien to go to sleep. That’s when Elin looked through his phone and began texting his alleged mistress, posing as her husband, according to Daily Beast sources.

“I miss you,” she texted. “When are we seeing each other again?”

Uchitel’s response made it sound like she had talked to Tiger earlier in the night, and Elin called Uchitel to confront her, confirming her suspicions that her husband was cheating.

That’s when Elin went to confront Tiger, screaming and hitting him during their argument. He locked himself in the bathroom where he sent a text to Uchitel, warning her that his wife knew about their relationship.

When he came out, Elin grabbed his phone and found the text. She picked up a golf club while her husband ran to his car, shoeless and still in a haze due to the Ambien he had taken, according to the report.

He crashed his car into a tree and fire hydrant in his neighbor’s yard. One source said Tiger’s story to the cops about his windows being smashed in by Elin to free him was a lie to protect his wife.

I’m sorry, but there’s just something ironically funny about a man being beaten with his own golf club for cheating on his wife.

SNL taking heat over Tiger Woods skit

SNL is taking a bit of heat this week for its sketch of Tiger Woods (impersonated by Kenan Thompson) and his wife Elin (played by host Blake Lively) at a press conference in which he keeps getting beat up (presumably) by his wife.

Here’s the skit:

The problem that some are having with the skit is that the underlying theme is about domestic violence and the musical guest that night was Rihanna, who has been a victim of domestic violence herself.

And apparently, some didn’t even find the skit funny in general. From Popwatch.com:

It wasn’t just unfunny, though: It was also incredibly tone-deaf. Intimate partner violence isn’t a ripe source of material in the first place, but with Rihanna as the musical star the sketch seemed even more poorly thought out. The whole joke was that Tiger Woods was lying about his wife assaulting him, with every imaginable cliché and crummy lie we’ve seen in a hundred Lifetime movies about domestic violence. It was lazy.

Could there have been a funny bit here? Definitely. But this hypothetical funny take would need to present an actual point of view, a unique thought, or some sharp commentary. This bit suffered from both an ill-conceived problem (Tiger Woods covering up his wife assaulting him) and a total lack of transformation or change. It was a padded stand-up bit, not a fully realized sketch, which makes it really hard to forgive the poor taste of the subject matter.

Not to sound insensitive, but I laughed several times throughout the skit. That doesn’t mean I think domestic violence is funny, because I don’t. But Woods’ incident and Rihanna’s situation are two different things and while the timing was bad, there are some comedic elements to Tiger’s ordeal, which SNL portrayed.

Is it a double standard? Yeah. But I don’t think SNL went over the line, which some are suggesting.
