That Sticky Scandal

[Blind Gossip] This very famous athlete was involved in a huge scandal a few years ago.

A woman came forward to detail their passionate affair. The athlete tried to pay her millions of dollars for her silence so that he could maintain his clean-cut image, but she talked anyway. It was a sticky mess.

The scandal resulted in the end of the athlete’s marriage and the loss of many corporate endorsements. Although the press attention to the scandal eventually tailed off, his career was derailed for years.

He is making a comeback now… but whatever happened to the woman?

She is not doing so well.

Her car was repossessed this week on her way to work. Her business is shutting down. She is in the process of getting evicted from her apartment. She is begging everyone for money.

    Does he deserve a comeback? Well he deserves to be able to play in tournaments, but signing him for any endorsements sounds like a bad idea. Consequences and all.

    • Colin Kapernick is getting a much deserved rehab of his rep ala Nike standing behind him as a citizen with a voice. Why not Tiger? But a smart sponsor wouldn’t try to avoid Tiger’s tarnished past or rise from the ashes so to speak. It would USE it as a part of the message like Nike is. Tiger was a groundbreaking athlete who got caught up in money, fame, power. It doesn’t make him any less amazing and what he does and does and doesn’t make him a bad human being. There is a way to channel…

    • Katrina, I think it’s worth noting that Kapernick was standing for something he believed in; Tiger has addiction and infidelity issues. Two completely different things.

    Good clubs are called sticks
    Yes he deserves a comeback. He has earned his way back to the pro tour on results. if a corporation doesnt like him don’t hire him., if you don’t like him don’t watch.

    Rachel Uchitel?

    Clues:end of marriage and lost of sponsors.

    He deserves a comeback. He cheated on his wife that’s horrible but that’s not the public’s business. In addition, she should’ve taken the money and shut up! So many people are obsessed with “fame” but fame doesn’t equal anything but a few paparazzi photos and write ups in the blogs.

  13. Tiger Woods, Elin Nordegren.

    Clues: “tailed off” and… I’m not sure what else. Maybe the picture with a tree, so it’s near the woods?

  16. This has to be Rachel Uchitel and Tiger Woods. I am not surprised; she is a drama queen and seems unbalanced.

  18. Gotta be Rachel Uchitel and Tiger Woods

    He’s an athlete, not a priest. We know he’s a dog, but if I was packing like Tiger, I’d have one helluva sexual appetite too!!

  19. Tiger Woods

    I can’t remember the woman’s name.

    Of course he does. We all make mistakes

  22. (Hi, new to the site here!)

    Athlete: Tiger Woods

    Woman: Rachel Uchitel? She has a children’s clothing store, that could be the failing business in question. Possibly could also be Emma Rotherham, since it’s well-documented that Tiger was paying her big sums.

    Clues: The “woods”/tree in the picture

  25. Athlete: Tiger Woods
    Woman: Rachel Uchitel
    Clues: scandal “tailed” off (Tiger’s tail.)

  26. Tiger Woods?
    Clues: tailed off? Sticky? He had a clean cut image and many endorsements.

  33. Tiger Woods?

    Rachel Uchitel?

    Clues: he lost A LOT of endorsements, the green color (the color of the Masters and golf courses) …

    BUT, I’m not reading that she’s having $$ issues (she was just on the Capri) …

    Sure he deserves a come back – if we’re going to give criminals who murder a 2nd chance, he deserves at least that much.

    Still not sure it’s TW though.

  34. This has to be Tiger Woods, and Rachel Uchitel as the woman who talked. I actually feel sorry for her. You could see that her entire universe was destroyed on 9/11. Did it mess her up? Yeah, I definitely think so but no wonder!

    Optional: Yeah, I think so, as long as he isn’t caught up in a reaaallly nasty scandal again. At any rate, his golfing legacy will always be there for him even if his personal life wasn’t stellar.

    Clues – “tailed off”, grab a Tiger by the tail, Golf clubs are sometimes referred to as ‘sticks’ (sticky)
    Deserve a comeback? If he’s playing golf well, its not a matter of ‘deserving’ a comeback. Fans are eager and happy to have him back. He’s Tiger Woods. People root for him.

    He paid her $10 million dollars. How can she be broke? Why don’t people save anything?
