The former Mrs. Tiger Woods has broken her silence.In an exclusive one-time-only discussion with People Magazine, Elin Nordegren desperately wanted her side of the story known, and spent 19 hours over 4 days debunking falsehoods and setting the record straight. Some of the more surprising elements of her story include:
• She dismissed all suggestion that she is a violent person, calling the speculation that she swung a golf club at Tiger Woods on Thanksgiving night “ridiculous.”
• She honestly believed she was the only woman in Woods’ life and was completely broadsided by the news of his extramarital affairs. She was just as surprised as the rest of the world that Tiger’s public persona as a dedicated competitor and family man was a carefully constructed sham. “I’m so embarrassed that I never suspected [his affairs] –- not a one,” she said.
• She truly believed that her marriage with Tiger Woods was genuine and not some orchestrated act for the public or sponsors. “The word betrayal is just not strong enough,” she told People. “I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children.”
