Tiger Woods: Is Silence An Option?

December 2, 2009 / 5:53 pm • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

So there is a sordid story after all:

Tiger Woods broke his silence on his bizarre car crash last weekend and the following barrage of allegations of infidelity in a statement today, admitting “transgressions” and “personal sins.”

“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart,” Woods said in the statement on his Web site. “I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Should all public figures just remain silent about this sort of thing? What would happen if he had said nothing–even if some woman posted his texts to her?

    If you do not want Publicity keep your mouth shut. Iron it out at home not in the press.

    Frank… sometimes that’s not an option. Like it or not, Tiger is a public figure. People crave celebrity gossip; it sells papers (and draws site traffic). Whether he wanted it to or not, this was gonna go public. I don’t agree with what he did. I think he did the right thing coming out with this statement. Now, if he can just avoid a Sanford and quit driving it into the ground…
