It’s the Year of the Mistress, and the week of Rachel Uchitel. Reports surfaced this week that the original Tiger Woods mistress allegedly received $10 million to sign a confidentiality agreement and stay quiet about her relationship with Tiger. Yes, $10 million! By contrast, other mistresses received several hundred thousand dollars, and some got nothing. So, why don’t the underpaid mistresses start blabbing or renegotiating? Their agreements likely contain severe monetary penalties for breaching and require that any further dispute will be resolved in confidential proceedings. As a result, Tiger runs little risk of further leaks, and the underpaid mistresses have very little leverage for renegotiation. How much would it take to keep you quiet? Silence certainly can be golden, Popbytes peeps! Have a good weekend.
