Tiger Woods Press Conference

Tiger Woods Press Conference

Los Angeles, December 5 -- Rachel Uchitel, one of three women identified as love interests of the golf superstar Tiger Woods, was scheduled to hold a tell-all press conference on Thursday but she canceled it in last minutes.

Reports were rife Thursday that the nightclub executive Rachel called off the scheduled press conference over money. Now, fresh reports popped up claiming that Rachel did not receive money to cancel the conference.

Earlier, the 34-year-old New York party girl’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, a founding partner of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, said Rachel had pulled the plug on the press conference "due to unforseen circumstances".

Woods’ alleged bribe to Rachel to keep mum
But soon reports began emerging that a last-minute deal between Woods and Rachel prompted the leggy blonde to keep quiet about her real story.

Radar reported Thursday that Rachel received $1 million to keep mum about her affair with golf great Tiger Woods.

No, he didn’t pay
Now, the popular gossip Web site TMZ.com has rubbished all those reports, saying that the reasons why Woods’ purported gal pal canceled her scheduled dish-all news conference were because of “fear and secrets”.

Citing unnamed sources, TMZ reports that Woods did not pay Rachel to cancel the conference where she was expected to shed light on the relationship between her and golf superstar.

Rachel backed out because she was "scared for her safety” as she knows so much about Woods, his alleged affairs, and a variety of his other matters, sources told TMZ.

Rachel cancelled the expected tell-all conference after a series of late night phone calls with Woods, the Web site said.

She "walked away without taking a cent from Tiger Woods," the website reported. "This was absolutely not about money."

"Rachel does not fear Tiger, as much as she fears all the other people caught in what is becoming a very large net," TMZ reported.

Recently, tabloid reports emerged linking the golfer with Manhattan nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel. But, the party hostess denied all claims linked with Woods, calling them "totally untrue". She even offered to take a lie-detector test to prove she is “innocent”.

However, some believe her denial also had to do with money. If other reports are to be believed, Rachel was receiving financial help from Woods prior to the National Enquirer story that initially broke the news that she and Woods are having an affair.

Woods and his alleged love interests
The other two women with whom the 33-year-old married golfer is accused having romanced are Jaimee Grubbs, a Los Angeles-based cocktail waitress who claims to have a 31-month fling with the golfer, and the 27-year-old Las Vegas club manager Kalika Moquin.

Rachel Uchitel came into limelight after her fiancé James Andrew O’Grady died in 9/11 terrorist attacks in World Trade Centre. Rachel then married her old friend in 2004, but ended up divorced in just 5 months. It was only then that she moved into the “nightclub business”.

The Manhattan resident Rachel worked as a director of "VIP services" for nightclubs in Southampton, where her work was to decide who got into the club and who didn't. She is now working hard to improve her blemished reputation.
