I think Life & Style’s cover this week is totally a low blow. The basic gist is that L&S somehow (eye roll) got an interview with two of Tiger Woods’ former mistresses, Jaimee Grubbs and Jamie Jungers. They somehow (eye roll) got Grubbs and Jungers to go the record about Elin Woods, who I’m thinking Grubbs and Jungers have never met, ever. Considering Elin got wide praise for her restrained and seemingly honest People Magazine interview, it just seems like people (mistresses) are just trying to take Elin down for no reason other than malice (and a payday).
Elin Nordegren finally broke her silence about ex-husband Tiger Woods’ infidelities in an interview last week but several of his former mistresses now tell Life & Style Elin was holding back—for a major payday.
“Money can buy anything — including silence,” former mistress Jaimee Grubbs tells Life & Style.
“I’m sure Elin is hiding millions of secrets,” Jamie Jungers – whom Tiger had an 18-month affair beginning in June 2005 – tells Life & Style exclusively. “She’s not a stupid woman. I’d imagine she knew more about his indiscretions than she wanted to say. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tiger forced Elin to do the interview in order to save his reputation — to make himself look better.”
With a settlement estimated at more than $100 million, Elin is still, in effect, under Tiger’s heavy-handed control.
“I don’t believe Elin was blindsided,” says Jamie. “Tiger was too open, or at least not cautious about hiding. Elin knew more than she wanted to say.”
Here’s the thing – I don’t really think Elin was as “blindsided” as she claims either. I don’t think Elin really knew about the extent of Tiger’s affairs, or with so many women, but when I read those exhaustive Vanity Fair pieces about Tiger’s married life, I was struck by how little time he and Elin actually spent with each other during their marriage. Their marriage seemed very clinical to me, all business and photo ops and no passion or goodwill. Once again, I’m not saying that it’s Elin’s fault or that she had it coming or anything – I’m NOT. I’m just saying that there’s more to Elin’s story, but that I still have a lot of sympathy for her. And Tiger’s former mistresses should shut the hell up.
Jesse James’ first known mistress, white supremacist Michelle McGee, has agreed to co-host a reality show created by the guy responsible for “Cheaters.” One of Tiger Woods’ mistresses, Jamie Jungers, is also on board. You might remember Jungers as the blonde one who took home the crown in the Howard Stern Tiger Woods Mistress pageant. The show, called “Celebrity Cheaters” would work like the original Cheaters show in that celebrities and their mates would be enticed to cheat in order to catch it all on tape. So far it’s only a concept that is being shopped around, but both McGee and Jungers are game. I bet there are plenty of other mistresses among Tiger and Jesse’s scorecards who would be happy to participate. Here’s TMZ’s report:
TMZ has learned a new reality show is in the works that would be hosted by Michelle “Bombshell” McGee and Jamie Jungers — and according to the creator, it’s all about celebrities who cheat on their loved ones.
Jesse James’ alleged mistress #1 and Tiger Woods’ #we-lost-count would front a show called “Celebrity Cheaters,” which is currently being shopped around town. The show was created by Bobby Goldstein, who created the original “Cheaters” — and would, according to the pitch, try and “catch celebrity cheaters with their pants down.”
Ironically, we’re told McGee once applied to be on “Cheaters” to try to trap an ex. She was denied.
The show hasn’t found a home yet — but Goldstein says McGee and Jungers have both agreed to do it, though nothing has been signed yet.
That’s kind of despicable and I hope no one buys that show, but it sounds kind of inevitable considering all the cable networks vying for ratings. Meanwhile Tiger’s mistress Joslyn James is continue to cash in on the scandal by stripping at clubs that are close to wherever Tiger happens to be playing golf. She stripped near the Masters in nearby Atlanta, GA, and also set up a website, where she released dirty text messages allegedly from Tiger.
Jesse James mistress Michelle McGee is also making an infamous name for herself. She was fired from a planned hosting gig for a Miami club when the owner was met with protests, but she’s stripping at another club in Vegas instead. McGee also granted an interview to E! Online last week, her second from what I can tell. She was full of self-righteousness and indignity at the way she’s been portrayed in the media and said “I am not a homewrecker. I don’t believe I destroyed their marriage. Jesse destroyed his marriage. My message to Jesse would be, ‘If you were honest to me up front…we wouldn’t be in this situation.’” Ooh it looks like someone has an axe to grind! Maybe she should be grateful for all the media opportunities and jobs she’s getting thanks to sleeping with Jesse James. If she didn’t have the affair and go public she’d still be wiggling her butt for dollar bills on a greasy stage every night.
Howard Stern held his mistress pageant today from among the participating women who slept with golfer Tiger Woods. Jamie Jungers, a bleached blonde former stripper and paid escort (which she denies, although madam Michelle Braun has the 1099 forms to prove it) took home the $75,000 prize from cheaters website AshleyMadison.com, along with a black diamond “mistress ring” with 4.5 carats total weight. (Note that the link has the top prize at $100,000, but photos show that it was $75,000. Here’s a link to a photo of Jungers in her tiara carrying the check. She seems to have lost some weight since she last did interviews.) Jaimee Grubbs, a brunette reality show contestant who shared text messages from Tiger with US Magazine, placed second and earned $15,000.
Both Jaimee and Jamie share the laughable honor of having slept with the worlds greatest golfer along with sporting what’s called an “anti-eyebrow piercing,” or a small stud in the teardrop area underneath the eye. (It just seems interesting to me that both Ja(i)m(i)ees have the same odd piercing.) Also participating in the pageant was Loredana Jolie (below) who previously told the press that Tiger enjoyed sex with men as well as all the women he was juggling on the side. She is said to be writing a tell-all book.
There aren’t many details available online about Stern’s pageant, except for the winner and runner up. Stern has yet to put any photos or text from today’s show on his website. TMZ sheds some light onto how blonde Jamie won, though. They say she told Howard “a bunch of personal information about Tiger … like the size of the club, what he wanted from her sexually speaking, and on and on.” I’d be interested in hearing that, but many of you would rather take a pass I’m sure.
Jungers previously said that she asked Tiger for money to help her out and that he turned her down. I’m sure this scandal is the best thing that’s happened to her in a long time.
Update: Video Jamie Junger’s Today Show interview is above. This is from YouTube because MSNBC isn’t putting the full video online for some reason. Maybe they want people to wait until Junger’s interview on the Dateline special tonight. She really sounds like an idiot.
I hope that Elin Woods is watching some of the interviews with the interchangeable ‘hos her husband was banging. If so, she might not be so willing to take the money and stick it out for the sake of his image or the kids or whatever. (We have no way of knowing her plans, but People claims she’s going to stay, and go on some kind of extended vacation with Tiger.)
In a new interviews on Today and Dateline lingerie model and alleged escort Jamie Jungers claims that she dated Tiger for a year and a half right after he married Elin. She said he never paid her and that it was a “boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.” That’s funny, because convicted madam Michelle Braun just produced 1099 forms that show Jungers was working for her. So Tiger got freebies while Jungers charged her other clients? Jungers said she asked Tiger to give her money and when he refused she broke up with him:
In an exclusive interview Friday, admitted Tiger Woods mistress Jamie Jungers, 26, denied rumors that she had received any money from the famous golfer, whose once squeaky-clean image has been tarnished by a succession of women stepping forward to say they have had affairs with him.
“I didn’t even get a birthday card,” the woman who met Woods as a Las Vegas cocktail waitress told Meredith Vieira live on TODAY. “I got nothing out of this relationship but a broken heart.”
Jungers, who has worked as a lingerie model as well as a waitress, revealed details about her relationship with Woods both on TODAY and as part of a special report, “The Secret Life of Tiger Woods,” airing at 9 p.m. ET Friday on NBC’s “Dateline.”
She told Vieira that she and the 33-year-old golfing legend had what she called “a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship” during their year-and-a-half love affair, despite the fact Tiger had just married wife Elin Nordegren when Jungers and Woods first spent a night together in early 2005.
For her part, Jungers says she’s held her tongue for more than three years, telling Vieira, “It was just something between him and I, and I didn’t think everybody needed to know.” But, she said, she came on on TODAY to “clear the air.” Alluding to reports and rumors that she had been paid for sex, she said: “I just wanted to come on national TV to say that they are not true.”
Woods would rendezvous with Jungers when he was in Las Vegas, and even flew her to Los Angeles to be with him while his wife was out of town, Jungers said.
Vieira expressed amazement that Woods seemingly did little to keep the relationship under wraps while possessing one of the most famous faces in the world.
“To be honest with you, I’m not really sure [why],” she told Vieira. “We went places together; people were taking our photographs in the nightclubs. When I went to see him at the MGM, I would have to check in under my name and say that I was there to see him, and Tiger would come down and get me.”
Jungers said over time, she began to truly fall for Tiger. “Every time we saw each other, it’s like we became more and more comfortable with each other, it just became more of an actual relationship, a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.”
Vieira asked Jungers if she ever felt pangs of guilt about seeing a married man.
“It was a thought in my mind, of course,” Jungers responded. “I mean, I’m not raised to do something like I did, and I’m not saying it’s OK … [but] I had a crush on Tiger for many years. I was very excited and honored that he was interested in me.”
Jungers said she was financially struggling during the relationship, and continued living with an ex-fiancee after they had broken up because she was “not financially stable enough to move out and be on my own.” She told Vieira she had a heart-to-heart talk with her mother, who told her, “If he is really interested in you, then he will show it.”
“The one time out of the whole year and a half I was with Tiger, I asked him, ‘Can you please help me out?’ ” Jungers told Vieira. “I didn’t give him a dollar amount, I didn’t say, ‘Can you buy me a house?’ I wasn’t specific about what I needed, but I did say, ‘Can you help me out?’
“He said, ‘I can’t,’ ” Jungers continued. “I said, ‘I don’t understand.’ I thought maybe he was joking. I was already embarrassed to ask about it. He said, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t.’ And that’s when I told him, ‘That shows to me how much I mean to you, and I can’t do this anymore. I’m already in a rough position in my life, and I have more drama and that’s what I don’t need.’ ”
This interview will air tonight on Dateline, but really how much more do we need to know? As for the story that Jungers worked for Michelle Braun as a high paid escort, she claims “I never even heard of the women’s name… This is all news to me.” Dateline’s special “The Secret Life of Tiger Woods” airs tonight at 9PM. There’s still a lot of interest in this massive scandal, although it seems to have slunk to some pretty low depths. It’s like there’s not much more we could find out that would be shocking.
Note – as of the time I’m publishing this the Today Show interview is not yet online. Please comment or e-mail me when it’s up and I’ll update this post, thanks!
Two of the women identified as among a bevy of Tiger Woods’ mistresses have been outed as hookers – by their own former madam. Convicted high end madam Michelle Braun confirmed that porn star Holly Sampson and lingerie model Jamie Jungers were working for her. Braun even provided TMZ with Sampson and Jungers’ 1099 forms for this year. Sampson made $24,600 while Jungers made $31,400.
Sampson admitted in a video posted on Naughty America, a porn website, that she slept with Tiger at his bachelor party. She has since issued a statement confirming her remarks and saying she will provide more details of her relationship with Tiger. Sampson claims Tiger was not married when she was involved with him.
Jungers was named as one of Tiger’s women by Radar Online, and while it was reported that she would sell her story to a British tabloid she hasn’t commented yet. Radar reports that she’s going to go on the Today Show this morning to talk, so we’ll have to wait and see. We’ve heard stories from “sources” about all the money he gave her, which she is said to have spent on lipo. Her rep denies that, though.
In an interview with E!, Braun confirmed that Tiger was a client and said that she provided services that were “discreet.” Tiger liked the “college cutie, girls next door” type and spent three weekends with Braun’s “models” at $30-$40k per weekend:
Michelle Braun describes her business, which she closed last year after running into personal legal troubles, as a service that brought men and women together for dates. She would give her employees commissions of up to 60 percent of a booking fee, which was paid up front “purely for introduction.”
Two of those former employees, Braun claims, were porn actress Holly Sampson and onetime Trashy Lingerie model Jamie Jungers, whose names came up this week in the ongoing saga of Woods’ extramarital love life.
Neither Sampson (who has publicly acknowledged her “intimate” relationship with Woods) nor Jungers (whose mom and ex-boss support the Tiger-romance theory) could be reached for comment about their involvement with Braun, who gave E! News copies of 1099 tax forms purportedly showing what they made working for her company last year.
It was Jungers who introduced Braun to Tiger, Braun says.
“He had a pretty big appetite for girls,” Braun concluded. And, supposedly, Tiger had a type. “He would request the college-cutie, girls-next-door look.”
The last time she communicated with him was in mid-2008, Braun said.
Most of her celebrity clients, including Woods, were always “smart enough” to pay in cash, she said. The golfer, in particular, “liked to communicate by text message.”
So we’ve heard.
Woods spent three weekends in Vegas with her girls over the years, Braun said, dropping $30,000 to $40,000 per trip.
Braun surmises that people like Woods (rich, famous, etc.) utilized her business because “it’s supposed to be discreet. When you pay it’s established that it’s a business relationship. You don’t have a girl thinking he is going to leave his wife for her and they will fall in love and have a fairy tale relationship.”
As far as having proof that Tiger was even a client, Braun says she’s sure she has phone records. They never communicated by email, she says.
Watchmaker Tag Heuer has been removing Tiger Woods ads from jewelry stores in Australia. The company claims that it has nothing to do with Tiger’s scandal, but a jeweler tells the Sydney Morning Herald that “the watch company issued a firm request that all advertising containing Woods’s image be taken down.”
In related Tiger news, lawyer Gloria Allred has told Radar that she’s representing another one of Tiger’s mistresses. Radar has sources who say that the woman has not yet been named or mentioned by the press and that she “had a multi-year affair with Woods, is in her 40s but looks much younger and is extremely attractive.” If this woman wants to cash in she’s a little late to the party. I doubt that Tiger or the tabloids will pay much for new women coming forward. We already know the extent of Tiger’s massive cheating. The question is when and if his wife will leave and if she will say anything to the press. People is reporting that Elin is going to stay for the sake of their kids. I think she should dump his ass right away after all this. This wasn’t one, two or even three mistresses it was multiple women throughout the course of their marriage and hookers.
