Gloria just released the following statement to X17online:

    I just watched Tiger Woods’ “apology” on television. He did not apologize by name to Veronica Siwik-Daniels aka Joslyn James and I ask “Why no apology?” ... She was in love with him and he told her that he loved her and yet he did not acknowledge their relationship today or apologize to her.

    Today was not an apology. It was a staged public relation stunt. It was a disgrace. My client deserves better than this. Tiger is hiding behind handlers in a carefully crafted statement. His story line is that he had gone to rehab and has now emerged to make this statement and is now going back to rehab. But, the rehab that he needs is not just sex rehab, it is instead, lying rehab, betrayal rehab and he needs a course on how to be honest with the women in his life. Whatever rehab Tiger participates in will not be meaningful or effective unless he acknowledges the relationship that he had with my client Veronica. He must call her and, better yet, meet with her in person to apologize to her and explain why he lied to her over and over again. Veronica gave up her occupation as a porn star because Tiger was very jealous and could not stand the thought of her being with another man. However, this former porn star is also a human being who has feelings and who has been hurt and devastated by the lies from the man she loved and whom she believed loved her. It is time for Tiger Woods to take responsibility for the deep pain that he has inflicted on Veronica. She may not be his wife but she was a very important woman in his life and it is time for him to ask her for her forgiveness.


Does Tiger owe Joslyn an apology? I mean, she had to know what she was getting herself into when she got involved with a married celebrity...
