"I'm sure that Jamie's mother had influence on her coming out with this story because she has been pressuring her for years to come out with this."
 
The family "first found out that she was having an affair with Tiger Woods about four years ago.

"She said I'm having an affair with Tiger Woods, he comes to see me in Las Vegas, he's wanting me to fly to his Florida home and... I've been seeing him for a while, here I'll let you hear a voicemail, I can call his phone and she called his phone number and let me and everyone else that was there listen to that."
