It looks like Elin was just biding her time.
Elin’s Interview in People Magazine
Breaking her 9-month long self-imposed silence during the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal, Elin Nordegren granted People magazine an exclusive interview about her ordeal.
As you might expect, Elin’s interview is the cover story in the current issue of People Magazine.
In the article, entitled My Own Story, Elin shares her feelings about discovering that Tiger had been unfaithful for years, and having to cope with the constant barrage of media reports about Tiger Woods’ multiple affairs.
Elin told People that she had no idea that Tiger had been cheating on her all this time. She maintains that she was clueless about his multiple affairs, saying:
"I never suspected, not a one. For the last 3½ years, when all this was going on, I was home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my school. ...
"I felt stupid as more things were revealed -- how could I not have known anything? The word 'betrayal' isn't strong enough. I felt embarrassed for having been so deceived. I felt betrayed by many people around me. ... Initially, I thought we had a chance, and we tried really hard."
I Predicted Elin Would Speak Out Back in May
As an infidelity expert frequently called on by the media to comment on celebrity infidelity, high profile court cases, and popular infidelity issues in the news, I have been closely following all the events surrounding the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal and Tiger’s multiple affairs.
In my Celebrity Infidelity column, and my National Infidelity column, I’ve been providing a steady stream of insight, analysis, and commentary on the Tiger Woods sex scandal from an infidelity expert’s point of view, based on my ongoing in-depth research on infidelity for the past 17 years.
.
I’ve also shared insight and analysis of the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal in numerous print, broadcast, and online interviews.
Back in May, when rumors first surfaced about the lifetime confidentiality clause Tiger wanted Elin wanted to sign, I (accurately) predicted that Elin might eventually want to have her say.

Comments
I am glad that Elin Nordegren did not allow Tiger and his team to silence her per life, even though it cost her millions from the divorce settlement! Elin is free at last from the despicable Tiger Woods who seems to have very serious issues! Elin Nordegren appears to be a woman true to herself and there is no money that can buy the dignity, self respect, courage and moral principles of a true woman!!! What Tiger Woods did to Elin Nordegren was criminal and coward! He showed no compassion, respect or caring for his wife or children! I believe that Elin has a right to tell her story to the world since she and the children are the only true innocent victims in this horrid ordeal! I commend Elin for her courage and determination to come public! She is truly an inspiration to all the decent women around the world! I wish Elin and her precious children a very happy and bright future!!!
