Elin Nordegren gave an interview to People magazine. It is the first time she has decided to speak out following the scandal with Tiger in which he admitted to his infidelities. The interview comes two days after the divorce between Elin and Tiger was finalized. Elin said this is the first and last interview she will be giving regarding the scandal as she would still like to maintain her privacy. In the interview Elin says “I never suspected, not a one,” she told the magazine of the multiple affairs. “For the last 3 and a half years, when all this was going on, I was home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my school.” She went on to say “I felt stupid as more things were revealed — how could I not have known anything?” and that “The word ‘betrayal’ isn’t strong enough. I felt embarrassed for having been so deceived. I felt betrayed by many people around me.” Elin went on to say “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.” When speaking about the car crash that began the whole scandal she said, “There was never any violence inside or outside our home. The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous. Tiger left the house that night, and after a while when he didn’t return, I got worried and decided to look for him. That’s when I found him in the car. I did everything I could to get him out of the locked car. To think anything else is absolutely wrong.” Elin 30, spoke of where her life is headed from here on saying that her “immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation” and that she’s “going to keep taking classes, but [her] main focus is to try to… heal.” She is currently working on a degree in Psychology. Elin even had kind words about her ex husband Tiger saying, “I wish him all the best in the future, as a person and as an athlete,” Nordegren said. “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.”
