Comments on: Eye of the Tiger – Was Tiger Woods Assaulted? http://www.drwendywalsh.com/blog/2009/11/eye-of-the-tiger-was-tiger-woods-assaulted/ Psychology of Human Attachment Blog Sun, 08 Jan 2012 03:21:06 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Dr. Wendy Walsh http://www.drwendywalsh.com/blog/2009/11/eye-of-the-tiger-was-tiger-woods-assaulted/comment-page-1/#comment-511 Dr. Wendy Walsh Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:08:59 +0000 http://www.drwendywalsh.com/blog/?p=489#comment-511 In the crazy world of celebrity and mass media, one price of celebrity is the lack of privacy. While I certainly believe this family deserves privacy (I'm certainly not standing in their driveway today) I also think that all sides of any potential story should be told. Note, I never speculated on the fact that Tiger may have been a victim of domestic violence, I only pointed to cultural factors that may have contributed to any young's family's vulnerability to violence. This is tragic all around, most certainly to the children. But even assailants in domestic violence incidents are victims themselves -- victims of cruel parenting and cultural pressures that sabotage human self esteem.

We don't need this whole gossip and speculation do we? This is crazy. Why are we titilated and making things up rather than simply allowing him a bit of privacy. Would you really want your life to be so analyzed and for people to be second guessing everything that happened to you? (you are famous too) Why do we feel so compelled to make drama out of famous people's lives? Inuendo and accusation are so much more damaging than the truth and this post is a bad example of that. Wendy (sorry I'm dropping the Dr. Walsh on purpose), I'm slightly appalled at your analysis. You are a reasoning and intelligent woman. Moments after you discuss hormone imbalances and potential lack of judgment, you launch into a surmise that one window would have been enough? You'd be the first to acknowledge the adrenalin rush powerful enough to allow women to lift cars to save their children or loved ones, but then condemn a woman for reportedly (and I emphasize reportedly) breaking two car windows rather than one?! Let the facts come to light when the facts come to light and don't jump on a gossip wagon. Oh come on! We don’t need this whole gossip and speculation do we? This is crazy.

It was reported that Woods went for a drive after having a fight with wife Elin Nordegren over an alleged affair the golfer had with Rachel Uchitel prior to the accident. But what I'd really want to know, who exactly is Rachel Uchitel and is she Tiger Woods' mistress?? Tiger Woods’ serious car accident was so funny (guess wifey caught up with his lies).
