Rachel Uchitel – who was recently photographed kissing married lawyer Ed Batts on the way home from a romantic getaway – claims he’s already separated from his wife.
Earlier this week, Batts’s six-year-old wife, Robyn, told the Daily Mail that he met Uchitel, best known as Tiger Woods’ former mistress, online in November. He suddenly left her, Robyn claims, less than a month later, closing the family’s bank account and taking a red-eye road to Palm Beach, Florida, to be with Uchitel, and shipping his Porsche south. .
‘It’s such a huge betrayal. The children are devastated. They wanted him there for Christmas and he wasn’t there, ”Robyn told the UK outlet.
But Uchitel told Page Six, “Robyn publicly humiliates her estranged husband, from whom she has been divorced for a while, by using me as a target.” She added, “It is sad that the media has taken another story out of context and is trying to portray me as a mistress when it is not.”
Meanwhile, Uchitel will appear in the upcoming HBO documentary “Tiger” and says it is her chance to tell her side of the story about another relationship so that “the public can see how I was slandered for the past decade.”
Uchitel, whose fiancée died in 9/11, made headlines when Woods’ then-wife, Elin Nordegren, found out about their affair, and was subsequently revealed to have cheated on multiple wives.
