Rachel Uchitel talks about her addictions & how she’s being viewed as a villain because of her affair with Tiger Woods. Rachel can’t talk about Tiger because she was paid to zip her mouth of a confidential agreement.
Rachel gets the spotlight on CBS Early Show this morning.
Uchitel says she is viewed in public as a villain which forced her into seclusion
CBS host Hill then asked Uchitel, “Why, then, put yourself out there again? Why come forward again and be in the spotlight?”
Uchitel responded, “Well, you know, I decided that I was not OK with the media creating this cartoon character of who I was. And I had been offered ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ and then I was offered ‘Celebrity Rehab,’ and at first, there was no way that I wanted to do ‘Celebrity Rehab.’ I didn’t consider myself an addict. I didn’t consider myself an actress. I didn’t consider myself a celebrity. And I just had no interest in doing a show like that. And then, after doing a lot of soul searching, I knew that I needed help. I didn’t know what I needed help for. But I knew that Dr. Drew could help me and I figured the only way to have people be able to look into who I was, and hear things from me, was by doing the show. And if people want to judge me based on who I am when I’ve put myself out there, then I’m totally OK with that. But I wasn’t OK with the media creating somebody for everybody to dislike.”
Uchitel was treated for addiction to prescription drugs and love.
Addiction to love?
