Tiger Woods mistress releases text messages from Woods
A former porn actress who has identified herself as one of Tiger Woods' mistresses today released more than 100 text messages she says she received from the beleaguered golfer, some of them exceedingly raunchy.
The messages – only his, not hers – were released on the Web site SextingJoslynJames.com.
Joslyn James, a Southland resident who has been represented by Los Angeles civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, said she wants the truth known about her relationship with Woods and that more revelations were impending.
The texts attributed to Woods talk about multipartner sex, sodomy and urolagnia.
Allred has said Woods owes her client, who is also known as Veronica Siwik-Daniels, an apology for misleading her during a 3-year relationship during which he prevailed on her to leave the porn industry.
"He led her to believe she was the only woman in his life other than his wife," Allred has said, referring to around a dozen women that have surfaced, claiming relationships with the golfer.
Today's new development comes days after Woods was seen with his wife, Erin, for the first time in weeks and announced he would return to golf next month by participating in the Masters.
