We’ve all read the recently released Tiger Woods-to-Joslyn James sexts by now … and if you haven’t, you can find the complete works at Sextingjoslynjames.com.
If you’d rather not, good for you. You’d just want to wash your brain out after anyway.
Whether you know the details or not, I’m curious as to whether Zelda Lily readers feel like releasing the texts was a step too far. In a perfect world, I’d like to think we wouldn’t know this much about anybody’s marital/extra-marital shenanigans. But we’re in this world, the texts are out there, and there’s no going home again. On the one hand, I think of the golfer’s family — haven’t they been humiliated enough? And if Tiger’s wife, Elin, was truly considering a reconciliation — if she was truly doing all the emotional work it takes to forgive – will it be spoiled by these down-and-dirty specifics?
On the other hand, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and maybe James feels Tiger deserves all he has coming. Perhaps I’m naive, but judging by her press conference she appeared to have genuine feelings for Woods. (Not to say what they did was morally upright.)
But these explicit texts don’t just hurt and embarrass her ex-lover — these messages will haunt innocent parties. Fortunately for James, she has protected herself from some substantial embarrassment by not including her messages. By publishing a half-truth, she has downsized her own part in pursuing the affair. As for Tiger, in addition to being revealed as a bad speller with somewhat abusive-sounding sexual proclivities, he comes off (oh dear) as the sole architect of the betrayal, and the only one of them who advocated choking and slapping during sex. (For all we know, she was into it. It takes all kinds.)
At the end of the day, I don’t think revenge — however sweet — is worth inflicting pain on someone’s family. Two wrongs don’t make a right, am I right?

Yeah, I don’t feel sorry for him at all. Although a lot of the texts seemed pretty similar to what my boyfriend and I will text each other (minus the violence and buttsex and shit)…
I think it’s too far, yes he did something wrong to his wife but he is a person and deserves privacy to handle these issues in whatever way they work out as a private couple. And no I didn’t read the texts it was simply none of my concern.
I’m sure glad that every wrong that I have committed isn’t up for inspection, discussion and vote with the American public.
Especially since about 60% of the general populace couldn’t be trusted to wash my car.
I’d probably be hung by the neck until dead.
I’m right there with you, Copa.
So Tiger has a swedish swimsuit model wife,and he fucks around with a piece of shit blowup doll with fake tits. Go figure!
I went to the website and her nipples frightened me. I bet Elin’s nipples wouldn’t scare me.
I’m sure you could loose an eye on one of those nips,if I was Elin Woods I wouldn’t take him back for lack of taste,if nothing else.
The only people I’ve ever felt sorry for in this whole saga are Elin and her kids.
Tiger and his hos deserve each other. This is what he gets for fooling around at all, but especially with these trashy women who were clearly only in it for the $$$ and bragging rights (one even asked him for a HOUSE, as if that were a reasonable request).
If he didn’t want to get caught he could have only fooled around with professional high-class call girls who know how to avoid getting caught, and don’t WANT their clients to get caught. But Tiger wanted nasty girls who would let him do anything to them. And these are the consequences.
“The only people I’ve ever felt sorry for in this whole saga are Elin and her kids.”
Agreed.
I think it is classless to post them. But would anything less be expected?
It just blows my mind that he would cheat on Elin. She is so beautiful. I know that looks aren’t everything, and that maybe she wouldn’t blow him or something but seriously, I would rather rub it to her every day than be all over the face of some of those dirty looking women he banged. I get the appeal of strange, but some of them looked like bad versions of Elin.
Elin hasn’t filed for divorce.
She lost my sympathy a long time ago.
Big difference between sympathy and empathy.
Elin is in the driver’s seat. Maybe she’s making him squirm for awhile before she drops the hammer on him!
Also, who knows what that pre-nup says about time spent being married and the pay-off at different time frames?
All I can say is thank god for these women. Otherwise, how would the wives KNOW how awful their husbands were?
Obviously, that was a joke.
But I do wonder what the purpose of someone like this and Michelle McGee is when they come out and claim that they wanted the wife to know what was going on.
Wouldn’t a phone call ending in something like, “…and because I never meant to hurt you and was used myself by this rotten man, I’m going to never sell my story or talk to the press and hurt you further. Let’s both get on with our lives.”
As far as I’m concerned, ALL of it is too far. The press conference and now this.

It’s no one elses buisness but those involved.
It makes me feel even worse for the family.
She must really care about him or be in denial or be in it for the money.
I don’t think Money would be worth the pain of that. I’m sticking to the first two theories.
I hope they can get past it. And he does whatever he can to proove to her that he can be trusted… It’s going to take you a lifetime Mr Woods.
The sad thing is, a lot of families go through similar situations and it’s hard enough without ANYONE else knowing.
The public should leave them the f**k alone to heal.
