Tiger Woods/Elin, Rachel Uchitel and National Enquirer all under pressure

rachel-uchitel(HMG) – In my gossip weather forecasting for the coming week, the pressure is building on Tiger Woods and Wife Elin Nordegren, who have avoided speaking to state troopers for a second day and the media too, seemingly giving them time to get their stories straight and put on a united front. But  I think there is a second perhaps as big a storm front building over the National Enquirer who broke the original affair story. The New York socialite accused of having an affair with Tiger Woods’ has denied reports of having an affair with the worlds number one golfer with the until now pristine reputation.

It seem pretty apparent that Woods, had a heated argument with wife Elin who may have become violent, over reports of romance with Rachel Uchitel, 34, seconds before the car crash outside his mansion in Florida. But divorcee Uchitel under pressure herself for her role in the scandal, has denied the allegations, describing the cheating rumors as “totally untrue.”  Meanwhile according to TMZ, Uchitel has lawyered up, and connected with Gloria Allred at her office — and quickly got a return call.  Allred has represented parties in various high-profile cases, like Paula Jones in the sexual harassment case against former U.S. president Bill Clinton, as well as Nicole Brown Simpson’s family during the O. J. Simpson murder trial.  With Tiger and Elin looking like they’re going to put up the united front and Uchitel, denying and bringing in Allred, it looks like the National Enquirer is going to be facing two huge lawsuits.

The Enquirer is already making their case here, to perhaps sway public opinion that could easily turn on them.  We’ve already reported via TMC, that Uchitel’s two friends that were the main sources for the tabloids story were allegedly paid something like $20,000 each to spill the beans.  The Enquirer insists that Uchitel who has been accused of dating married celebrities before, as in David Boreanaz, has supposedly been telling friends about a jet-set liaison with 33-year-old Tiger that began in June and includes witnessed phone calls and “sexting.”  The tabloid says they had multiple sources,  verified with polygraphs, but they seem to be leaning a lot on an on-the-record exclusive interview with one of Rachel’s friends Ashley Samson.  Uchitel is supposedly now claiming she hardly knows Ashley, but the Enquirer has pictures of the two partying in Spain.  Ashley is the one who told the Enquirer how Rachel first met Tiger.  I think in any case the Enquirer is gonna get sued,
1) unless  Uchitel, decides she can make more money writing a book or giving her story to someone for big bucks, assuming she really did have the affair.
2) The united front between  Tiger and Elin, breaks down.
