Rachel Uchitel – who was recently photographed kissing marriage lawyer Ed Batts on his way home from a romantic getaway – claims he is already divorced from his wife.
Earlier this week, Batts ‘six-year-old wife, Robyn, told the Daily Mail that he met Uchitel, best known as Tiger Woods’ former mistress, online in November. He left her suddenly, Robyn claims, less than a month later, by closing the family bank account and going with a red eye to Palm Beach, Florida, to be with Uchitel and send his Porsche south.
“It’s such a big betrayal. The children were crushed. “They wanted him there for Christmas, and he was not there,” Robyn told the British shop.
However, Uchitel told Page Six: “Robyn publicly humiliates her estranged husband, from whom she has been separated for some time, by using me as a target.” She added: “It is sad that the media has once again taken a story out of their context and is trying to portray me as a mistress, if that is not the case.”
Meanwhile, Uchitel will appear in the upcoming HBO documentary, “Tiger,” saying it’s her chance to tell her side of the story about another relationship so “the public can see how I’ve been hurt over the past decade.”
Uchitel, whose fiancée died in 9/11, made headlines when Woods’ then-wife, Elin Nordegren, discovered their relationship, and later revealed that he had cheated on several women.
