Rachel Uchitel Tells Her Story in OK! Magazine, Tiger Woods Latest Update  

Tiger Woods mistress #1, Rachel Uchitel, is talking!
Madam Uchitel is on the cover of OK! Magazine with her "Side of The Story," telling she's really upset that she's been portrayed as a "villain" -- until now.

The media has been painting you as the "other woman." How would you describe yourself?
In every story, you need a villain and a hero. I've been characterized as a villain. People have called me homewrecker, gold digger, tramp, whore. I make mistakes, but I'm not those things. I have very good qualities. When you're judged by the nation, it's really difficult. It's horrible.
"I'm not a whore. I'm not a tramp. I'm not an escort. I'm not stupid or a bimbo. I'm very strong. I will survive this. At the same time, I'm vulnerable. I'm not here to make myself into a victim, but I want people to remember I'm human-there's a whole other side to me. I'm caring and generous and the type of person you'd want to be friends with. People have to give me a chance."

According to an insider, serial cheater and sex addict Tiger had more than just a fling with the New York City club promoter,

"Tiger told her he had a deep connection with her. He's told Rachel, 'You'll be in my life till the day I die.' "

According to various reports, Tiger said he was in "love" with Rachel - whose lovers have included Derek Jeter, David Boreanaz and, reportedly, Ryan Seacrest, Alex Rodriguez and Stephen Dorff.

"Tiger told her he would divorce his wife for her," a source reveals, adding that Tiger "desperately wanted to leave Elin and their kids to be with her."

In Touch Weekly obtained an email from Tiger to Rachel in which Tiger wrote,

"I know it's brutal on you that you can't be with me all the time. I get it. It f***ing kills me, too. I finally found someone I connect with, someone I have never found like this. Not even at home. You want someone to witness your life. I want you to lay next to me, lay on me or where ever you want to lay. F***. Why didn't we find each other years ago. We wouldn't be having this conversation."

Meanwhile, all TV advertisements featuring Tiger have been pulled from primetime. Yesterday, Gatorade has announced that it will discontinue its "Tiger Focus" sports drink. Tiger earns nearly $90 million in contract endorsements with Accenture Plc, Nike, Gatorade, Tag Heuer, Electronic Arts and Gillette.
