Jamie Jungers' "Today" Show INTERVIEW: Tiger Woods' Alleged Mistress SPEAKS OUT, Talks SEX

Jamie Jungers Today Show

Jamie Jungers, a Las Vegas woman who claims to have had an 18-month affair with Tiger Woods, spoke with Meredith Vieira on the Today show this morning. Jungers explained how she met Woods, revealed her true feelings for the golfer, and forcefully denied rumors that she has worked as an escort and used money from Woods to pay for liposuction.

Jungers told Vieira that she loved Woods, but never told him and ultimately got "nothing out of this relationship but a broken heart." Jungers said she met Woods in 2005 at a Las Vegas nightclub. (The Sun says it was at the Bellagio.) According to Jungers, Woods "had a VIP host call me over to his table and requested to meet me." At first she was skeptical that it was actually Woods, but before long they were "hanging out, drinking."

Woods, Jungers and some of the golfer's friends allegedly went back to "the mansion at the MGM, continued drinking more.... It kind of became clear to me that Tiger was interested.... The more we drank, the more -- I guess -- flirtatious we got.

Jungers says she "absolutely" expected it to be just a one-night fling, but Woods called the next day.

Jungers also told Vieira that she had feelings for Woods. "I've had a crush on him for a while. I was excited and honored he wanted to meet me." The couple allegedly grew more comfortable over time. "It became more and more of an actual relationship," she said.

Woods only mentioned his wife, Elin Nordegren, once, the first time Woods and Jungers met, when Jungers asked him about Nordegren.

Shockingly, Jungers says Woods did little keep their relationship a secret. "People were taking our pictures in the nightclubs. We went together to restaurants.... He didn't" try to hide the relationship.

Vieira asked Jungers if she has ever worked as an escort, relating allegations from a prominent madam. Jungers flatly rejected the claim: "I've never even heard the woman's name. I've never been an escort and never will be an escort."

Jungers ended the relationship when she was in need of money and finally asked Woods if he could assist her. When Woods declined, Jungers said, "That shows to me how much I mean to you." Asked whether Woods got what he deserves, Jungers declined to answer: "I don't want to be the one to say that. I don't want to be the one to judge."

All of a sudden, women are coming out of the woodwork giving all the lurid details of their intimate relationship with Tiger Woods the most famous sports star on earth (it's Kennedy, Clinton, Letterman and million men more all over again!). OK how much money does she want? I' am so tired of these Skunks popping up. Where was She earlier? Oh, now it's out of the box, it's Ok to get 5 min. of Fame and maybe ca$h. Alright, get in line with the rest of the Skunks! Good thing the interview was this early in the morning, so she could make right after getting off work!

Yeah, she had true feelings for his money babes!! In the old days these women kept their relationships private. Truly, I refuse to watch Today show for bringing us this filth for early morning viewing. Frankly,
are we so desperate for news! Need I say more.

She is one of an already noted 6. Knowing Tiger he is not going to quit a third of the way through a round. I am waiting for the other 12 to speak out. Somehow this women thinks she was special to Tiger. I guess he was if you are looking for a free meal ticket.

Tiger; how low did you go? You had a good string of "birdies" going. Now, I'm disappointed in you. We'll allow you one "Mulligan".

"I've never even heard the woman's name. I've never been an escort and never will be an escort."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

An escort would have gotten the money upfront with an understanding or confidentiality. This woman messed around with married man knowing he was still living with his wife. She broke it off when Tiger wouldn't pay her rent. An escort would be a step up.

As much as we scorn Ashley Dupree, she kept her mouth shut. Even after being offered lots of money until AFTER Spitzer came out with the mea culpa.

If he was not financially supporting this woman, or any of the other women, then neither she nor they are "mistresses". They were simply sex partners, not mistresses.

It's been interesting to me that just about every one of them seems to think they're on some higher level than groupie or one night stand.
Birthday cards? Wow. Delusional.

You are right. A mistress is someone who is being taken care of financially.

I like how she's so snipity about being an escort........ BUT sleeping with a married man is juuuuuust fine by her.

Honey, there's a rule when married men come on to you.
1. Tell him sure thing no problem you'll have a fling with him JUST as soon as he runs along home and returns with a PERMISSION SLIP signed by that person he made a VOW with. And then wish him luck with that. buh byeee.

2. You don't want a married man in FIRST place because he's already a damn LIAR!

What is WRONG with women that they can't GET IT that women DO NOT do this to other women!!! Want nothing that isn't YOURS Ladies. You just don't do these kinds of things to other women. Period.
sheeeeesh.

Myrtle longs for the "Ozzie and Harriet, Fathet Knows Best, Leave It To Beaver" fantasy world that never existed except on TV. The real world is frightening.
