Tiger Woods alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel headed for a $5 million payoff, The Daily Beast reports
According to the Web site, Tiger Woods as a team of handlers to handle is affairs, now up to 14. (Click here for complete list and links.)
According to the Beast, Woods is negotiating a deal with Rachel Uchitel that would spread the $5 million payoff over several years. That follows the pattern established my Michael Jackson in 1993 when he arranged to pay $20 million to a boy who says Jackson molested him. In that case, annual payments were made over 20 years.
Why is Woods apparently to pay so much for Uchitel’s silence? The speculation is that Woods was closer to her than the other mistresses and she may have much more damaging information if she talks.

Ed Walsh YOU ARE A BOLD FACE LIAR BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE FACTS IN MICHAEL JACKSON'S CASE. YOU KNOW THAT MICHAEL JACKSON DID NOT ARRANGE TO PAY ANYONE MONEY FOR ANY REASON AND YOU KNOW THAT. YOU NO GOOD LYING BASTARD. BUT I GUESS IN ORDER TO BE A GOOD JOURNALIST YOU HAVE TO LIE ABOUT PEOPLE.
Dear Paula,
Wow such ire! And all for a newspaper report. A bit over the top don't you think??? I wonder if you yell at the news anchor as you watch TV and tell them they are wrong? Anyway, thanks again Ed for another great piece. Some of us love your reporting, thank you. Yes I wonder why at this point he is bothering to pay anybody off, there can't be too many secrets left at this point. There's probably not much that can shock us now. I wrote on whether he and Elin will ever make to to Sweden (the house there has problems). It's here: http:(forward slash twice)www(dot)examiner(dot)com/x-29076-SF-World-Travel-Examiner~y2009m12d15-Are-Tiger-Woods-and-Elin-going-to-travel-to-Faglaro-Island.
