A former porn star and alleged mistress of Tiger Woods released a series of sexually explicit text messages on Thursday she says are from the superstar golfer.
Veronica Siwik-Daniels, known in the US porn industry as Joslyn James, released messages on her Web site that portray Woods as someone who fantasizes about having violent sex with submissive women.
“I would like Tiger to one day tell the truth, the whole truth,” she told the New York Daily News. “We will see if that happens.”
Her release of more than 100 messages comes just two days after Woods announced he was returning to competition to play in the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, ending a four-month self-imposed exile from the sport.
“I want to treat you rough,” Woods allegedly wrote to Daniels last August. “Throw you around, spank and slap you.”
Daniels, who says she pursued a three-year affair with Woods.
“I just wanted the public to know and the truth to be out there for me to have people see what I was being told and not just judge me for being with a married guy,” she said.
Daniels says she has more than 1,000 texts from Woods and would be posting more in the coming days. She said they met while Daniels was working at a Las Vegas nightclub and carried on an affair until late last year.
At one point, the sender of the texts got mad at Daniels after their relationship came close to being discovered.
“Don’t [expletive] talk to me,” the text said. “You almost just ruined my whole life. If my agent and these guys would have seen you there.”

Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back.

Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
The sacred flame for the Paris Olympics was lit yesterday in Olympia, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Games, in a ceremony inspired by antiquity and marked by messages of hope amid multiple global crises. “In ancient times, the Olympic Games brought together the Greek city states, even — and in particular — during times of war and conflict,” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. “Today, the Olympic Games are the only event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition.
