The past week Tiger Woods auto accident has brought a deluge of criticism and speculation upon Tiger Woods, not as a driver or golfer but as a philandering husband.
Almost from the start the media asked why he would have an accident just outside of his driveway at 2:00 in the morning.
Tabloids such as TMZ and the Inquirer threw out old news that Tiger was having an affair and that his wife may have been upset with him the night of his accident. It seems those allegations have prompted women to come forward with their own claims.
Now The Sun has got their own siren, Jaimee Grubbs a 24 year old bartender/waitress whom claims she has text messages to prove an almost three year affair with Tiger Woods. Grubbs was featured in 2009 on VH1's Tool Academy as a contestants 'girlfriend' in the same time frame she claims she's been seeing Woods.
According to Grubbs, Tiger's wife was keen to the extra-marital activity and was doing her own investigation, "My wife has been through my phone and may be calling you." In short, Tiger's wife Elin Nordegren was going through his phone records and calling numbers.
Grubbs explains that Tiger asked her to delete her name from her own voice-mail-box in an effort to stonewall Elin Nordegren from connecting all the dots.
"Hey, it's Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that.
"Just have it as a number on the voice-mail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye."
Along with her bombshell claims, Grubbs has produced text messages which The Sun provided photos of. See below:
According to The Sun, Grubbs affair goes back to April 2007:
April 13, 2007: Grubbs met Woods at a Las Vegas Club. The two had sex within days at the W Hotel in San Diego.
June 18, 2007: Woods first daughter Sam is Born.
February 2009: Woods cancels a meeting due to birth of son Charlie.
September 27, 2009: Woods inundates Grubbs with texts.
September 30, 2009: Woods tries to meet with Grubbs after playing in San Francisco
October 18, 2009: Yet another sexual escapade takes place at Newport Beach's Island Hotel.
November 24, 2009: Here Woods feels heat from wife Elin and urges Grubbs to shroud her phone in mystery by deleting her own voice-mail greeting so any attempt by Woods wife would meet a dead end.
November 27, 2009: Woods accident outside his driveway takes place. The circus begins.
By her own accounts Tiger spoke of being with her in a relationship outside his marriage while never really connecting with her for any meaningful relationship outside of sex.
After their first sexual encounter she said of Woods, "Afterwards, he was like, 'You should probably go.' He told me that he has a hard time sleeping in the same bed with somebody.
Oddly enough Grubbs seems to have missed out on the fact her going public about Tiger will ruin any hope of her having a future friendship with Tiger, she says, "Whatever happens with Elin, I hope Tiger and I can reconnect and remain good friends." I can't imagine that statement going over well Elin Nordegren. I can imagine the conversation she'll have with Tiger over it.
It seems clear that inside the Woods household, Tiger's wife was onto him, and they apparently settled their family concern a little too publicly and now Pandora's box is open. Had they kept things from spilling out into their driveway, this may have been an affair Tiger would endure and overcome.
Now his wife must face public humiliation and that sometimes forces couples into divorce. David Letterman has recently dodged that bullet but he owned up to it and publicly apologized to his wife on his show by her request. Woods recent public statement seems to have been an enigmatic apology crafted by public relations writers. This story is about to really take wing.
