Elin Nordegren People

Elin Nordegren is speaking out about the breakdown of her marriage to Tiger Woods, telling PEOPLE magazine she was "blindsided" and "embarrassed" by the philandering golfer's affairs.

"I've been through hell," Nordegren, whose divorce was finalized Monday, told People magazine, on newsstands everywhere Friday.

"I never suspected, not a one," the Swedish-born model, 30, said. "For the last three-and-a-half years, when all this was going on, I was home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my school."

More quotes from Elin Nordegren People magazine interview:

"I felt stupid as more was revealed - how could I have not known anything? The word 'betrayal' isn't strong enough. I felt like my whole life had fallen apart."

"I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children. I also feel stronger than I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself."

"The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous."

"I've not watched one minute of golf [since the split]."

"I wish him [Tiger Woods] all the best in the future, as a person and as an athlete. I know he is going to go down as the best golfer that ever lived, and rightfully so. I feel privileged to have witnessed a part of his golfing career."

"My immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation. I am going to keep taking classes, but my main focus is to try to give myself time to heal," said Nordegren, who is working on a college degree in psychology.

I know its not what anyone wants to hear, but She is just another blond who became a black mans trophy in order to get his money, it happens all the time, these wealthy black athletes are all the same, given the chance, they will get their white trophy and will treat them as such, there is no love here from either side, its the story of mankind, women use sex to get stuff from men, and to these women, it does not matter who the rich sucker is, and to black men, white is all they seek (whatever happened to "black is beautiful" there guys ?)its pathetic, but since women are all like this, they will support her as a (gag) poor victim....good for a laugh!

Dear Informed Reader,

I'm always up for "not what anyone wants to hear" but your comments are totally racist, sterotypical and just plain stupid!! You sound a little bitter..did a rich black man leave you for a hot blonde? You don't hear about her screwing everything in site? Tiger(no matter what color he his) is a pig and deserves it

Everyone is racist, its human nature, you can't legislate morality or emotion, all you can do is legislate outward behavior, so, the facts are there for everyone to see: She is a gold digger with no pride in her ancestry, and he is exactly like 90% of all rich black athletes are: A person who thinks by buying a white playmate, he will be white.... If you can't see that, you are blinded from reality...
