Madam Alleges Tiger Woods Had Two 'Escorts' on Payroll

This is what happens when you wake up at four o'clock in the morning and the TV feed into your computer was left on last night. Access Hollywood is blowing the lid off the Tiger Woods story with shocking new allegations (note: allegations may or may not be new or shocking, as I've bought into the flashing graphics and repetitive nature of promotion.) Shocking! New! Allegations!

Michelle Braun, "one of the most notorious madams in history, claims to be the porn star and Vegas cocktail waitress' employer ... "

If you're sick of the Tiger Woods talk, unable parse what is salacious rumor and what is disgusting fact, feel free to skip the video. In short, Braun explains:

-- She has both e-mails from clients and 1099 tax forms (ed. note: for those who are unfamiliar, that's the number on the form, not the number of forms) for Holly Sampson, the porn star, and Jamie Jungers, the Vegas waitress, proving they both worked for her.

-- She does not deny meeting Woods, herself, and gives a no-comment/non-denial that she has personally set up Tiger with women in the past.

-- Question: "Okay, Jamie and Holly are only two of how many?"
Answer: "I would say, of, about a half a dozen more."
Follow up Question: "Okay, so you know of about six other girls who have slept with Tiger who were paid to be in his company."
Follow up Answer: "Yes."

-- These were not one night stands. They were ongoing.

-- Braun has been in jail, and is (shocker) writing a tell-all book. I'm sure her other high-profile clients are pleased to hear that.

-- Last, and it's not like the money even matters to a guy worth a billion dollars, but Braun confirms that Woods would spend up to $50,000 a night for some of these rendezvous.

Brooks had a report yesterday in which Jungers gives dirty details into her relationship with Woods. Per that report, she neglected to explain that she was a hooker – sorry, escort – which either makes her story far more plausible or far more distressing. Probably both.

That's the thing about this – there are some who try to justify Tiger's transgressions with failed logic – it was thrown at him, how could he refuse? His wife was pregnant so he wasn't getting any at home. He's an athlete, that's what they do – but it doesn't explain that nearly every report about every girl has said two things: Tiger was great in the sack and it became more than sex. Tiger opened up to them and dare-I-say had feelings for them. Maybe even love. Every single story has some component of Tiger talking about how hard his marriage is or texting and calling about how he 'misses her' and 'wishes he could be with her,' jealous if she's with other men.

If you believe Jungers, Tiger used to pick her up at the airport himself and bring her back to his house, which is (at least) the second mistress who reportedly romped with Woods in one of his family homes. Jungers explained that she and Tiger would talk on the phone during the week when they weren't together and he'd call her, per reports, his "coffee cup."

(UPDATE: Jungers spoke to Meredith Vieira on the Today Show and claims she never received money for being with Woods. "I didn't even get a birthday card." Full story is here.)

Yet if you believe Braun in the clip above, Tiger was paying this woman, or at the very least had previously paid this woman, to be his action on the side. It's good work if you can get it, and by the sounds of it, a lot of women were getting it. There's a joke about a Tiger Woods stimulus package in there somewhere, but after hearing of at least half a dozen more women sleeping with Woods, I'll be damned if I have the energy to find it.

It's been no surprise to learn that a rich, famous man who is away from home for more than half the year has stepped out on his wife a few times. It's not even a surprise that he's paid for it. Paying for sex is one thing. Paying for sex and then turning the woman into your 'coffee cup'... one of a steadily-growing number of trysts turned text-buddies turned girlfriends ... seems pathological and out of control. And that's something nobody ever thought Tiger Woods could be.

Can you beleive it. Tiger is a mere mortal man. What I don’t understand is why anyone would be upset with this. They all got paid well.

Shoulda sowed his oats before he took vows. If you want a family and someone to come home to that loves you for who you are, then keep your dick in your pants. If you can’t do that, don’t get married.

Yes, seems pathological all right.  And the fact he always whores around with white women is part of it.  It’s a relevant question.  Hamburgers has a right to his opinion.  Some others can do nothing but call names because they don’t want to use their brains.  What Woods has done is a hundred times worse but you’re so upset with an individual with a differing opinion.  With so many gorgeous black women out there, why wouldn’t he be with one of them for a change?

I cannot believe how many people do not think this exists in real life. I work in executive management for a company and there were 8 of us sitting around on night talking. EVERY single person had issues with their marriage. Why? we were all gone for long hours during the week and the lure of getting stuff on the side was great. The thing is, none of us made close to the kind of money Tiger makes. To say he is a jerk because he made a series of mistakes regarding fidelity, ask yourselves who, what, when, where, and why? I don’t think what he did was good, I am just saying, it is difficult for an ordinary guy, can you imagine being Tiger Woods. I also am neither condemning or condoning him. Good people do bad things, bad people do good things. Like most of us, he fits in one of those two categpries.

I think whatever Tiger wants to do is not my business but what puzzles me is, if this is what Tiger wants to do, why on Earth get married? Pro athletes should remain single until they’re ready to be a great husband and dad. You’re going to get a lot of interest from women on the road, real temptation. What it takes to say no is to have somebody wonderful at home whose heart you wouldn’t break for anything in the entire world.
Seems like a guy doing this really never gave his wife’s heart a second thought. I used to be a guy that only watched golf when Tiger played…he was probably in my top three favorite athletes list. Not any more. And before anybody mentions it A-Rod is a no as well.

Jaek, you hit the nail on the head. I married late for that very reason. Although I can’t say for sure how I’d act if I had Tiger kind of money. A big bank account and fame can bring constant temptation.

It’s fun while you’re in college, and yeah, I can see how a couple of decades of quality time with gorgeous women would be a great way to spend time, but in the end, you don’t want to be the old guy sitting by himself watching SVU reruns with no one to love. When it comes down to it, all of the tail in the world cannot replace a good woman who understands you and loves you for exactly who you are.

i saw the comment on all white women. Yes i can. I can’t blame the guy. If i had to choose thats who i would go with. I could careless who he is sleeping with. He is great at what he does on golf course thats all i care about. What he has done isn’t against the law. Its not right but not against the law. I live in orlando,fla..He is a long line of famous people (men and women) doing this. Tiger just get back to playing golf.

Tiger has the body of a athlete, but his face makes him look like a nerd.  I would of never guessed he was such a selfish, dirt bag.  You shouldn’t have childeren if you are going to act like this.  Why get married and have kids if you still want sleep with multiple women.   He must not love his kids or he wouldn’t risk breaking up his family for some whores!!!

It is not all the money that put Tiger in this position, it is his lack of morals.  Poor people cheat also.  I make a decent living and keep myself is good shape, and could fool around if I choose to.  But, I have way to much respect for my wife to do that.  Obviosuly, Tiger does not.  People defending his lack of morals tells me more about them than I care to know.

all this holier than thou stuff needs to stop. who are we to judge what kind of a father he is because of this.temptation is everywhere and probably alot more so for a billionaire. i’m not saying he was in the right by doing this but to label him a bad person because he got a lil more tail than you did is ludicrious. his infidelity is between him, his wife and god and depending on which god you worship it still may not be a bad thing. many holy men throughout time have laid with many different wives. females outnumber males three to one in every animal kingdom otherwise procreation wouldn’t work. so when tiger kills someone while drinking and driving ( not a golf joke) then crucify him until then go get your own piece on the side

I’m not a fan of Tiger Woods and never will be becasue of his arrogance and childish behavior and lack of sportsmanship on the golf course. Golf is a gentleman’s game and now he has proved he isn’t a gentleman on or off the course. I hope he loses all endorsements and everything else

by kohphares on Dec 11, 2009 6:02 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah, kohphares, I’m sure he’s shaking in his boots about losing endorsements . . . HE’S A BILLIONAIRE.

Who cares if he sleeps around, unless you’re his wife. If anything, it’s not a sign of his morals, but a sign of how bad of a decision-maker he is.

The more women he fools around with, the higher the percentage he risks losing his money. He’s lucky none of them are knocked-up, etc.

And now taking "time out" is just going to screw with his career, especially if he comes back and sucks!

Taking a black wife brings forth a harmonic imbalance that would fudge with his golf game. Any gains made in his street skills by taking a black wife would be worthless to the man.

He needs to maximize a specific and particularly white skill set. He does one thing well, and only needs to do one thing well. The white wife, especially the jet-set type, is organized enough to handle all that other stuff so he can practice putting. It’s sort of like what Reggie White said, but only sort of.

Tiger golfs. It’s like that Dungeons and Dragons game… there’s no point in having a really intelligent fighter. Likewise, a ghetto broad might make him happy, but the Swede provides that certain je ne sais quoi which powers his golf game to that next level.

Unfortunately, his non-golf life needs a black woman. The Swede is boring him. He needs a black woman, he doesn’t recognize it, and he is trying to fill the void with multiple, various, additional white women. He keeps trying different ones, hoping and failing to fill the vacuum, while each girl he bops adds exponentially to the chances of his being caught. The iceberg hit the cruise ship about two weeks ago.

Thus is the lot of the black man who calls upon the blessing of the White Woman. It’s why Satan makes guitarists sign off their souls up front.

Sh*t, he may be on some mental trip where he believes he’s white. His people support what is a rather profitable delusion. He has to live in the suburbs for the same reason. He also has to listen to the Smiths. His manager won’t even let him think of shooting baskets.

This may seem far-fetched, but I understand how these things work. My science is deep, my blackness is deep.

Tiger…..I hope he washed his driver after each nineteenth hole choked down on it.  Just because you’re a great athlete doesn’t mean you’re a great person.  I mean, when he waggled over and approached each of these women’s bunkers, he was on a downhill lie.  He finally holed out when his poor wife approached his phone and saw a hazard.  She just stumbled across an unplayable lie on his phone, threw him out of the clubhouse and chased his cart down the path.  After hitting a stimpmeter and a natural hazard, he faced sudden death when she walloped a pitching wedge into the sweet spot on his face.  He was definitely out-of-bounds.  He doesn’t deserve a mulligan here.  He was not playing by the local rules.  He wood think she’s going to sit home and Iron all day in an apron while he has his Fair way?  I’m glad she bought her own home in Sweden.  Hope she does a follow through and completes her move.  What was Tiger thinking?  You can’t drop your flagstick all around the world and not expect to get caught with your knickers down.  I hope he used a ball washer after each match play.  Maybe he was just overclubbing or trying new Fore play.  Like a lot of famous people, this is Par for the course.  You can’t put a backspin on this story.  I mean these hole high bitches just keep coming out of the woodwork.  Next time he links up with one of these hole-in-one beach babes it will be when he’s single.  He might be penalty stroking it himself.  My advice is to make a bologna sand wedge on a slice of wheat and put up a sign "ground under repair".  This is a bad time you are going through that will fade away and you will drop out of the tabloids.  Too bad, however, your wife should have given you a good backswing and shot you a birdie and jammed a ball marker into your rough. You are a great golfer but addicted to grounding the club. Keep your putter in your pants ace! You are lucky you did not have to bail out of jail. Were you smokin’ Bermuda grass or something? You can’t dance around this like Bogey and Bacall. This is not casual water you are treading on here. You really flubbed this one. You are an Albatross among the other golfers. I say change your address and approach life a little differently. Gimme a break…..You had to know that you would get pinned for playing through so many women.  By the way, your slope rating was good according to some of the women. Those women are so loose….did you need your ball retriever? Maybe you can have a foursome next time. You should be tee‘d off at yourself.  Please don’t do another wormburner like this one.

The on-course behavior of this individual and his caddy was always disgraceful.  Now his regrettable off-course behavior is daily news.  As with the dog-fighting quarterback, it remains unclear what triggered the release of information.  Note that in both instances, the information was very OLD NEWS to those in the know.  Not surprisingly, however, these are the very people that claim ignorance.  Among the supporters are those using the story to promote an agenda.  The agenda may be "idealogical" or just juvenile posturing.  The later is found in many posts – some display a selfishness and inhumanity that is just breathtaking.

There is aspect to the saga that brings to mind the recently deceased pop icon -  an almost pathetic attempt to connect with other people, but in an infantile manner.  Being that the individual knew the consequences could affect his children for a long, long time, there is unquestionably a malicious quality to these actions.  This at-work and off-work personnas are very similar.  No regard for anyone or any institution.

The current disappearing act is based on the principle that absence makes the heart grow fonder.  However, fondness for such an aloof figure may not come easily.  The thuggish sidekick won’t help in this regard, but may be more useful than ever for support/protection.  The marriage-saving act is just an image-saving device.  This individual has no idea what marriage is and never will.

One thing that has not been mentioned is that in Las Vegas Tiger is a world class cheapskate. He was well-known to stiff any service employee he came in contact with; waiters, casino dealers, etc. That tells you alot about the guy.
