Rachel Uchitel: ‘I Offered To Take A Lie-Detector Test’ To Disprove Tiger Woods Story

Rachel Uchitel, the woman accused by a tabloid of having claimed to friends she was romantically involved with Tiger Woods, has lashed out at the report and said she offered to take a lie-detector test over the story.

“This is ridiculous. Not a word of it is true,” Uchitel told The New York Post. “I told the [National] Enquirer and Star that it wasn’t true. I told them not only did I have information to disprove the story, but I offered to take a lie-detector test.

“It’s the most ridiculous story,” Uchitel continued. “It’s like they are asking me to comment if there are aliens on Earth.”

Uchitel, who recently retained the services of high profile lawyer Gloria Allred, told The Post she’s met the professional golfer, but that’s where the relationship ends.

“Tiger and I are not friends. That’s a whole different ballgame. I’ve only met him twice,” she told the paper. “He came in to The Griffin [the Meatpacking District nightclub where Uchitel worked as a VIP hostess] in the summer. As usual in my job, I got a call from a promoter that he’s coming in. I went outside and brought him and his entire group in, walked them upstairs, introduced him to his waitress.”

Uchitel claims the other time she met the golf star, he paid little attention to the brunette.

“I had never spoken to him before that. I had met him once in my entire life before that, for two seconds at a bar through a mutual friend who just introduced me. Period,” she told the paper. “He was shy and quiet and sitting with someone else. It had nothing to do with me.”

The woman, who is also a 9/11 widow, said she often meets stars as part of her work life.

“I’ve always been the director of VIP services, that’s my job — to know these people, to have a relationship with them, to hang out with them. It doesn’t mean I am having sex with them or an affair with them,” she said. “These are people I hang out with and become friends with.”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, days before the golfer was injured in a crash outside his home, the details of which still remain unclear, sources and people who claimed to be friends of the woman told the National Enquirer she was involved with Woods.

“Rachel told me, ‘I’m having an affair with Tiger Woods. We’re in love,” one woman who claimed to be Uchitel’s friend alleged in the mag, which continues to stand by their story.

In fact, the Enquirer wrote on their Web site; “The Enquirer’s blockbuster cover story was verified with polygraphs, multiple sources and an on-the-record exclusive interview with one of Rachel’s friends.”

In her new interview with The Post, however, Uchitel claims the Enquirer didn’t take her denials of claiming she was involved with the star seriously.

“I was happy to answer any of [the National Enquirer’s] questions, but they didn’t want to listen to me when I denied it. I look like a home wrecker and an a**hole.

“And its horrible to Tiger’s family,” she continued. “His wife must feel horrible. The worst part of it, it’s not true.”

Uchitel claims she knows who the Enquirer’s source is, and she does not have a relationship with that person.

“This girl was never around me for any of the time she was saying she was. If I was having some big, lurid affair, I would not tell this girl. It’s just ridiculous,” Uchitel said adding that the source is a “train wreck.”

On Tuesday afternoon, a rep for Star told Access that Uchitel “never offered to take a lie detector test for Star Magazine.”
