Elin is in Talks With Divorce Lawyers; Gillette Limits Tiger’s Role

Tiger’s “bottom Becky” is reportedly dumping him after Christmas:

Shattered Swedish model Elin Nordegren is in talks with divorce lawyers but keeping up a show of normal family life for the sake of their two children.

With her mind in turmoil over what to do, Elin wants to spend Christmas with Tiger and the kids in Sweden before a trial separation in the New Year, she confided to a close friend. And last night, as major sponsor Gillette DROPPED the disgraced golf superstar from their advertising, the pal told us: “Elin will pretend it’s the usual family celebration for the children and then ditch the man. In the short-term they’ll act like any other loving couple. Elin won’t break it all up right away. But she does need some time alone to herself and a legal separation will happen very quickly.” As lurid details emerged of Tiger’s serial flings, furious Elin, 29, told him: “Don’t talk to me, speak to your therapist! I don’t want to see you!”

To prove her point she has ALREADY moved herself and the children – two-year-old daughter Sam and 10-month-old son Charlie – OUT of the marital home to a separate house 200 yards down the road in Windermere, Florida. And later will come the big move across the world – to the new Faglaro mansion she’s bought on an island near Stockholm. Elin’s plans come as the News of the World reveals that shamed Tiger, 33, argued with his Swedish mother-in-law just minutes before she collapsed and was dramatically rushed into the hospital this week.

Another sponsor giving Tiger some ‘breathing room’:

Gillette said Saturday it was “limiting” golfer Tiger Woods’ role in its marketing programs to give him the privacy he needs to work on family relationships after disclosures of his “infidelity.”

In a statement, the Boston, Massachusetts-based body grooming company said it supports Woods’ decision to take “an indefinite break” from professional golf. “In the midst of a difficult and unfortunate situation, we respect the action Tiger is taking to restore the trust of his family, friends and fans,” Gillette spokesman Mike Norton said in the statement. “We fully support him stepping back from his professional career and taking the time he needs to do what matters most. We wish him and his family the best.

Man, we don’t think we have anymore commentary left for this crazy Tiger Woods fiasco except for a big a*s “SMH.”

  • Janae

    I honestly can’t blame her. I think women shouldn’t be surprised when these EXTREMELY wealthy, high-profile men have affairs. That’s what MOST of them do. But, Tiger’s behavior has been RIDICULOUS and RISKY. I’m appalled. If they GENUINELY love EACH OTHER, I hope they can work things out. But, IF NOT, I think she should move on. His behavior has been OUT OF CONTROL.

  • Janae

    @ Meisha

    “I don’t get it. Was his wife a nanny or a model or both?!”

    She was both. But, I don’t think she was a “big time” model. I think she was primarily a nanny.

  • joe camel fan

    good let her go. that’s means more freedom and more women for tiger to enjoy

  • LAMEISHA

    LAWD! What dat clean white woman doing with a pretty black man! Them latinos don’t like that down here. They own the white woman in Miami. He lucky he play golf. I would trap him with some ashy nappy babies. I have to go, Mr Rodriguez need a blowjob and his windows clean.

    “She should go back to where she came from besides she’s not getting any better with age anyway. ”

    (On a side note: I think her resemblance to her mother is increasing with age [NOT a GOOD thing], but she’s still LIGHTYEARS beyond her mother in the looks department and an attractive woman.)

    If this woman WAS only with Tiger for his money (which I think was probably the original “allure” of the marriage, then I ALSO thought she should leave. But, the only thing about that is the fact that Tiger’s children will most likely be going with her, and I PERSONALLY think that SHOULDN’T HAPPEN. (I know she wouldn’t be taking MY kids that many miles away from ME. And, ON TOP OF THAT, living with ANOTHER man, off of MY money, and having MY kids call HIM “Daddy”. NO SIR. Tiger messed up BAD, and he’d better figure out what he wants and “get it together”.)

    Yeah, but FORTUNATELY, Tiger doesn’t seem to be as “crazy” as OJ. But, I DO think women should think twice before they think they can walk off with a man’s money and kids and do whatever they want (though Elin hasn’t “gone there” yet)–PARTICULARLY when the man “made” them and gave them “everything” they have. Getting “made” by other people has its “price” and “consequences”.

    From the NY Daily News:

    nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/12/13/2009-12-13_child_welfare_services_visits_tiger_woods_and_elin_nordegrens_home_according_to_.html

    The Florida Department of Children and Families paid a visited Tiger Woods’ Florida home on Saturday, according to reports.

    The agency went to the golfer’s mansion mid-day, accompanied by a marked police car, radaronline.com reports without naming information sources.

    Officials, though, wouldn’t confirm or deny the report.

    “Child abuse, adult investigations in the state of Florida are confidential,” said Carrie Hoeppner, an agency spokeswoman, told the Daily News. “I’m just not able by law to give confirmation about whether we visited the family and that is in the interest of protecting the child.”

    It’s protocol for the state department to investigate domestic violence that occurs in homes.

  • WordtotheWise

    Hi there, Sydney!

    What??? Are you kidding me? I really don’t believe that. Tiger, the cheatah, yes. Abusing the children, that’s a stretch. I don’t know about that.

  • Sydney™

    Hey WordtotheWise!

    A friend told me yesterday that she recently saw a segment on one of the tabloid shows — perhaps “Inside Edition” — that there have been prior reports of heated arguments between Tiger and Elin, and there was a alleged incident over the summer in which she damaged property (I haven’t been able to find anything online about this allegation, however).

    If the reports are true that she threw a cell phone at him and caused him bodily harm, then I think that may have been what prompted this visit (if it did, in fact, happen). That would still be considered domestic violence, to my knowledge.

  • Sydney™

    I think Tiger may have himself a tigress. . .

  • hey now

    At this point it’s a matter of pride. He tried to pay her to stay but that leaked out. If it was 1 or 2 other women maybe she could stay but everybody expects the wife of a man with possibly up to 15 jumpoffs to leave. If she stays it will look like she just staying for the money which would make her no better than those h*es tiger was with. She might really love him and want to work it out but it won’t be seen that way by the public. They’ll just think she’s a gold digger.

    No, Tiger shouldn’t let her take the kids with her.

    Sydney – and the plot thickens. I believe before it’s over, there will be more alegations and more women crawling out of their holes.

    Did you see Dateline on Saturday? One thing that stood out to me was a comment made. In essence, they said Tiger had this perfect, sweaky clean imagine that was only made better when he married a blond haired, blue eyed Swede. I couldn’t do anything but SMH.

  • Marquis de Sade

    I say let her take the kids to Sweden. Hell, with his money and resources, he can have them flown to florida on the holidays or whenever he wants’ to play the dutiful father role…I mean, c’mon people, I may come off as an a$$hole sometimes, but lets’ be honest here, Tiger doesn’t have a moral legbone to stand on by demandin’ that this b.i.t.c.h. remains in Florida and deal with his self-inflicted mess.

I had to chuckle internally recently when a white male co-worker of mine commented that Tiger was “greedy” – He had a beautiful wife at home, and he still pursued other women. I can only imagine the conversations that he had with other non-black men on this affair.

    “LOL at your coworker. Oh, to be a fly on the wall. I bet he was calling Tiger all kinds of N’s and everything else. You know many of them are seething!”

    Yes, girl, I’m sure they are. I’ve tried to catch bits and pieces of their conversations, and I can tell that there’s a lot that they’re probably waiting to discuss when they converse in private or via e-mail. To some, Tiger did the unthinkable – He married a “beautiful Nordic goddess” AND he cheated on her, with other women of the same skin tone. In another time, he would likely be referred to as an “uppity (blank).”

    “What some people don’t understand is that beauty doesn’t mean a thing when the person you are involved with lacks character. There is someone always more beautiful than the next.”

    Very true. If you chase beauty, you will always be on the hunt.

    P.S. My sister is one of the most humble people you could meet.

  • Sydney™

    @Ms. EJ

    For some reason, I think that was really his wife. Her writing style and tone were totally different from his, and I think she was extending the olive branch.

    “City of God” is a Brazilian film about life in a dilapidated part of Rio where gangs of boys and young men roam. It reminded me of “Lord of the Flies,” in a way. I saw it this weekend, and it was powerful.

    @Black_Orpheus

    You brought up a point that I wanted to raise with him. There are a number of African American families who have generations of educated professionals — spanning back to a time when it was extremely difficult for blacks to obtain a college education and white-collar positions — and it’s not something they wear on their sleeves.

    Are you referring to Dr. Johnnetta Cole, the former president of Bennett College?

    “Unfortunately, far too many among us are moving in a “retro-grade” motion, and that is the pity that I think he was trying to express.”

    It could have been, but you articulated it so much more eloquently and without condescension.

    “@Sydney – girl, you are one bad sista (clapping hands). You break it on down and hold onto the facts. That convo between you the Dr. was amazing.”

    You’re too sweet, girl. I just felt compelled to counter some of the points he made that I thought were biased and inaccurate.

    “P.S. My sister is one of the most humble people you could meet.”

    Your sister has nothing to prove. In my experience, some of the most accomplished people are also the most humble. You practically have to force them to talk about their achievements.

    I’m sure your sister has read the book, “Medical Apartheid,” right? My mom has it, and it’s on my list of books to read. I would love to talk to your sister about disparities and get her take as an expert on the topic.

    I know that there are many who could tell the story better, but no one seems to be taking on the task.

    It saddens me when I visit Nashville, and walk the grounds at Fisk, which is eternally struggling financially, knowing the history of the place.

    A family friend graduated from there in 1972. From that class of less than 300, there are at present 25 practicing MDs or DMDs (I won’t even get into the Lawyers and PhDs).

    From the late 1940′s through them late 1970s that was the NORM at Fisk, not the exception.
    Lincoln U of Pa is about 45 minutes drive from my home. It has a similar history. Howard U’s history of successes, speaks for itself.

    Somebody has to tell that story — what happened to the many successful professionals that came from that one tiny school in North Nashville. There have been books written about the school itself, but not the angle that I am interested in.

    “@Sydney – girl, you are one bad sista (clapping hands). You break it on down and hold onto the facts. That convo between you the Dr. was amazing.”

    You’re too sweet, girl. I just felt compelled to counter some of the points he made that I thought were biased and inaccurate.

    “P.S. My sister is one of the most humble people you could meet.”

    Your sister has nothing to prove. In my experience, some of the most accomplished people are also the most humble. You practically have to force them to talk about their achievements.

    I’m sure your sister has read the book, “Medical Apartheid,” right? My mom has it, and it’s on my list of books to read. I would love to talk to your sister about disparities and get her take as an expert on the topic.
    ======================================
    I’m going to call her and ask her if she’s read it. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has. She an avid reader – she consumes books and has an extensive library. Her favorite author is Alexandre Dumas. She’s read, “The Count of Monte Cristo” many times over.

    “It saddens me when I visit Nashville, and walk the grounds at Fisk, which is eternally struggling financially, knowing the history of the place.”

    Sadly, there are several historically black universities that are currently struggling. I recall reading about Morris Brown’s financial shortfall, and the recession has hit other schools hard. I had a friend in grad school who went to Lincoln, and the sista was working on her second master’s. Really smart and talented woman.

    “Somebody has to tell that story — what happened to the many successful professionals that came from that one tiny school in North Nashville.”

    It sounds like you have a manuscript brewing in your head. Pursue it.

  • Ms. EJ

    @SYDNEY- Thank you :) Actually “I Know Why The Cage Bird Sings” is on my list to order. I am also looking forward to ordering Joyce Meyers “Boundaries”, “The Last Song” and “Breaking Dawn”. The ones you listed seem to be great picks. Thank you for sharing ;) I will post the second part on the books I enjoyed (problems posting).

    I haven’t read that classic yet. Does she like Sartre?

    You know, Sydney, I’m not sure if she likes that author. I’ll ask her.

  • Kennedy

    I believe that the wife st tiger woods up, women do it all the time, well some….they will marry a man with money, have kids with him, stay in the marriage for about 3 or 4 years and get a divorce, I believe the women he was with are part of the scandal to get paid, the wife gets paid and so does the jump offs. easy money…but hey black men are stupid as hell anyway, quick to jump in the white p.u.S.S.y.

    “You know, Sydney, I’m not sure if she likes that author. I’ll ask her.”

    He was a French existentialist writer that I learned about in school. I just looked him up, and I think it’s actually Voltaire whose work I may have read.

  • Ms. EJ

    @SYDNEY- Thank YOU ;) for the book suggestions. I know that I can always count on you for brain food :)

  • Marquis de Sade

    Sydney

    Sartre? You always struck me as an aficionado of of the literary treasures of Sydney Sheldon, Harold Robbins, or Jackie Collins.

  • Sydney™

    @Ms. EJ

    Did you see the TV mini-series? If so, what did you think? I was very disappointed. Do you write as well, or are you an artist? If you like Zora, you may be interested in this upcoming festival in January in Eatonville, zoranealehurstonfestival.com/. I’ll check out “Against the Odds,” girl. Thanks!

    Oh, I also went on an Ernest Hemingway binge years ago, and I really enjoyed several of his books, including “A Farewell to Arms.”

  • Black_Orpheus(the original not the remake)

    @6am

    I would suggest Alek Wek, but that would be too extreme and obvious. Mayhap he could barter with Common for exchange of some photo-ops with Serena, and if that doesn’t help, then maybe Fantasia would be game.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++If he’d had a taste for the Serenas of this world, he wouldn’t be in this predicatment.

    Who the hell is going to have the ENERGY of play world class golf, make love to ‘Rena, and chase random c-o-c-k-t-a-i-l waitresses?

    Besides, if he was hauling a–s to get away from a Swedish model, imagine having ‘Rena as P-O’d at HIM as she was that little lines-lady who called that double foot fault on her last fall?

    If she said “jump” he wouldn’t say “how high”, he’d be begging “can I come down now, Baby” as he hang there suspended in mid-air.

    Hell, I know I WOULD.

  • Sydney™

    @Marquis

    LOL, nope, I haven’t had the pleasure of reading any of the works of those authors. My guilty pleasures have been Terry McMillan and Stephen King. :)

  • Marquis de Sade

    Black_Orpheus

    Yeah, you right. I have a sneaky feelin’, ol’ lady girl Serena would wear any man out in the sack.

  • Ms. EJ

    @SYDNEY- Yes, I seen it in class as a matter of fact at my university (African American Studies class).It was just okay to me :( I do both. It was at the age seven when I discovered my passion for art. I sketch, paint (water and oil based) as well as chalk. It is extremely relaxing and often a getaway without leaving my own home.

    That sister looks like the antidote for priapism.

  • Sydney™

    No, thank you, Ms. EJ. :) BTW, have you read the biography of Zora Neale Hurston, “Wrapped in Rainbows?” The author was in D.C. not too long ago. It’s also on my list. If I’m not mistaken, when Ms. Hurston died, she was destitute, and I believe there wasn’t enough money to even buy a headstone.

  • Ms. EJ

    @SYDNEY- Hey, I like Stephen King too, lol.

  • Sydney™

    @Ms. EJ

    I have great respect for artists — I can barely draw a stick figure. Do you display your work?

  • Ms. EJ

    @SYDNEY- Awww….no, I did not read “Wrapped in Rainbows” how sad . :(

    @Black_Orpheus-LMBO! I have read many comments from men regarding Serena who share the same sentiment. She definitely has a brick house figure, but I see her being very soft and vulnerable, but I guess a man would have a better vibe in that area.

  • Sydney™

    *looking up “priapism” and gasping*

    @Ms. EJ

    LOL, I actually think Stephen King is a master storyteller. I loved “The Stand.”

    @Marquis

    LOL, I’ll ask my mom about Robbins. Now I remember sneaking reads of V.C. Andrews’ novels.

    Now you know I meant that in the best possible way. I even tried to be as thoughtful as possible in my “10 best things….” reply, only being salacious on ONE bullet point.

  • Sydney™

    @Ms. EJ

    I just read that Alice Walker bought a headstone for Ms. Hurston’s grave. I think she was much more popular in death than in life. I think there was also a backlash against her use of dialect in her writing.

  • Ms. EJ

    @SYDNEY- LOL at stick figures. Sydney, I use to when I was younger, but I plan to get back into it next year when I move into my house in May. I will have a room set aside soley for me to do my artwork. I had stopped after my fathers’ passing. That was one of his favorite things about me that he loved. I look forward to getting back into it. I sketched some work last week and everything is still on point.

  • Sydney™

    @Black_Orpheus

    “I even tried to be as thoughtful as possible in my “10 best things….” reply, only being salacious on ONE bullet point.”

    LOL! Well, now I know the official term for, uh, “blue (blank).”

  • Ms. EJ

    @SYDNEY- I do remember many taking offense to her choice of words. It seems all too often that a person is appreciated or becomes popular when he or she passes. I wish more would give roses to other’s while they are alive to smell them.

    Good night, Black_Orpheus! I think I’m out as well. Have a good one, all. :)

    he should never had gotten married… he obviously wasn’t ready for that commitment…
    now its going to be expensive…

    but that life… aint it..

  • http://bossip.com komjong

    Marriage is so over rated and more men are realizing this. Tiger is being fed to the wolves for something that EVERYONE does. I say the best thing that could happen to him is to Divorce the chick. Anyway she was only in it for the money. Thank god he had a pre-nup. Get rid of the witch and get back on his stellar career. and live according to Tony Yayo’s famous verse from Pimpin. ” I don’t love hoes I’m sharin them, I aint lovin them or handcuffin them.. If U love hoes.. U chasen them U be lacin them… well I’m replacin them cuz baby I’m pimpin!!!”

  • meme

    tiger is leaving golf because he got caught.. not because his love of his marriage,..

  • That Baby Sitter Came Up

    Maybe a Pool Boy can come up on her

  • rass

    He must have whipped out his c*ck and showed his mother in law. Now it’s all starting to make sense. The size of his c*ck shocked the hell out of her and she fainted…. XD

  • Its6amHoGetOut, 18 more days of f*ckin’ genius people then it goes away forever!

    Yeah, Tiger go f*ck with Serena Williams. Alex Wek I had to go look up, f*ck now! Sh*t will never be that bad!

    12/13/09, 17:24:pm

    Ok tiger, its now time to accept sh*t for what it is, yeah you f*cked up and shes probably gonna divorce you. But keep your head up, dont fight too hard in the divorce proceedings, give her whatever’s fair and make sure you keep a good relationship for the kids sake.

    Now to save face with the rest of the world “GET THE FINEST BLACKEST B*TCH YOU CAN FIND AND PUBLICLY DATE HER AZZ”

    Or any woman of color at least…….maybe even a blasian like himself,i betcha that would shock the sh*t of the media.

  • JennyBaby

    I just have to say that his wife Elin is a natural beauty. That is very rare for a white woman to be able to have beauty without make up but she is a natural. I noticed that when he married her a few years ago. But those women he cheated with are so plastic, glued on eyelashes, boobs and all. None of the women can touch his wife, he messed up ALL kinds of ways.

  • It’s Never What You Think

    If true, reports say that Elin just purchased a house in Sweden: On an island, that you can only get to by a boat. Like I said, the entire family is being blackmailed. And as many of you have pointed out, the “Tiger Woman” are down right ugly, homely, plasic, compared to her.

  • Nickisha

    Tiger is really stupid and i’m not sorry at all for him.He should have thought with his brain and not with his head in between is legs.This should be able to teach all mens that are married to commit to their wifes and childrens and if not,don’t get married and f..k who ever you want.I don’t think she is a gold digger and she better go, because things won’t change, he will just learn to act more clever.

  • JennyBaby

    Tiger has forsaken God, Elin , and the kids. He needs to repent & get right with God first.

  • JennyBaby

    Well the Bible says you can’t speak wisdom into the ears of a fool and to go from a man if you see he has no understanding.

  • .??

    oh well

  • http://www.translatorchicago.org Translator Chicago

    Ah, this is sad… I hope Elin will think many times before doing so… nobody’s perfect. He already said his peace. I hope there’s forgiveness, and can start afresh. I know its hard… but for the sake of the children giving them a whole complete honest family – not a broken one..

  • …MOcarsMoclothesMOjewelsModoe*…

    well tiger,you did it to your self.

    look on the bright side:you’re not lock down.you could do your thing.

  • noladebby

    Good for Elin! Nobody deserves to be treated the way she was treated. And her children do not need to be around this sorry poor example of a man and father.

  • Mark

    I could see her standing by him if it was one girl, but under the circumstances, his behavior has been so duplicitous since his bachelor party, I doubt she has any feelings left for him.

    Men are pigs. You know why? The woman is stuck. Now she has to make the decision to break up the family or stay with this piece of s**t.

    That was one gorgeous girl. So what does Tiger and men like Tiger do? They take her youth, have babies by her, the screw her over–basically ruin her whole life.

    Happens every day to non-famous people too.

    Well, karma is a bit*h. Hopefully he genuinely gets his act together, but he would have a hard time convincing anyone at this point that there is a sincere bone in his body I bet.

    she was both…..but never a very successful model…..but one lucky nanny…..lol
    Tiger will eventually be the victim as she is set to collect about 450 million dollars before taxes,plus properties,cars….

  • Jamaquina.Cubana

    Ha!
    Where is she goin’!?
    I guess English can’t easily be translated into Swedish b/c i read (somewhere) that they redid the prenup (yeah, i dunno) for her and included millions more, an account just for her to access, plus that 6-bdrm house over there for her on the stipulation that she remain w/him for 10+years.
    She’s not going anywhere…this was and always will be a PARTNERSHIP and she knows/knew that! This way of life is the ‘Becky’ way…$$$ & imitation love!

  • Mark

    Just because she’s going after the dough now doesn’t make her a golddigger. I’d take the SOB for every penny too.

    What’s she supposed to do, give him a pat on the back?

  • Mark

    Also this site is funny but can you imagine if a white gossip site referred to him as “her Tyrone” or “her Jermaine!”

    There’d be mass hysteria!

    I don’t care but just a little food for thought.

  • http://Bossip lady-mxj

    I honestly don’t see what he saw in her that was so special. On the other hand, he’s not a great catch either without the money. He’s a freak show with a self-hate identity problem, and she’s an uneducated nanny that looks like a rehabed meth user. Ugh!
