We want more pre-nup...yeah
Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock these past few days, I’m sure you’ve heard that Elin Woods is renegotiating the pre-nup with Tiger to get an immediate $5 mm payout from her husband and as much as $55 mm more to stay with him for two years. To be sure…this is a lot of loot. While Tiger was obviously wrong for stepping out on his wife, is Elin just as wrong for demanding more cash to stay with Tiger. What ever happened till death do us part? Yes, infidelity should not be tolerated and is a sin but where does it come in that one should be paid extra dollars just to stick by your man’s side. I have to admit that I think there’s a split here along gender lines. My female friends were like “get him girl”…that’s right get that paper, while my boyz were like you have to be kidding. The fellas just thought it was absurd that his wife would be asking for more money just to stay put, sign a non-disclosure agreement, and stick by Tiger’s side. Yes, they say Tiger was wrong, but come on…$55 mm—Elin is trippin’! Some even went as far to say that Tiger would be better off divorcing her—it would be cheaper barring any fallout from his public image. Some even quipped what’s the point of marriage these days? I’m wondering…what exactly is the $55 mm for? Ladies, if Tiger pays this money…does it make it permissible for him to continue to step out on his wife? Or is the $55 mm just payment for any humiliation and emotional pain that Elin may have suffered? Like some form of restitution. I mean if we hear reports that Tiger is wildin’ out in Vegas or South Beach for that matter with different women, are we going to say well he did pay $55 mm so what’s the big deal? Or in reality isn’t Elin just being a little too greedy here in forcing Tiger’s hands when he presumably needs her to be the loving, supportive, and caring bride he married a few years ago. After all, this appears to be pretty unprecedented…while some women do opt for the divorce after infidelity…others stand by those vows and say I’m sticking by my man. Now, however, it seems Elin may have flipped the script and raised the bar…it’s pay to play Tiger. (Hmm: I wonder if Tiger still plans on making use of his driver?)
Which begs my original question…isn’t Elin wrong for re-upping on the pre-nup?

Tiger recklessly overswung his club and ended up in the sand trap he’s trying to wedge his way out of now. By shanking it off the fairway, he showed his wife how to guarantee she lands on nothing but the green. With the pre-nup re-up, Elin’s just playing thru under the course rules Tiger’s dumbass helped develop. Given that, it’s not a question of is she wrong for trying to go for hers in this cash rules society we live in, it’s a question of “What’s the point of a PRE-nup if it can be edited POST-nuptials? And, should it be allowed?”
That’s like (very like it when you really think about it) disputing a will cause you don’t like what the dead person left you (if they left you anything-ahem-Joe Jackson).

My question is…How is this any different than Kobe buying his wife the first automatic Lamborghini and a $4 million pink diamond after his affair/rape case? No one said anything about Vanessa’s love, support and care. Elin is just smarter than Vanessa! I say, “Go on and get it!”

Well from the beginning I’ve heard a lot of folks say, “Tiger has so much money, how can his wife expect him NOT to cheat?”.
So, I feel like it came full circle.
That same amount of money that gives him that ridiculous green light to cheat on his wife, is the same reason why he’s being asked for $55 Million. Also, I bet your boys do feel it’s an absurd amount of money. Few see that amount in their lifetime. They can’t fathom having it themselves. Now, I feel that amount of money is absurd in a good way, which is why females see it for what it is…a “positive” amount of money…why not be positive? Lol.
Also, I have no problem with the amount of money she asking for. I mean, what is the price tag for betrayal? What else can she get from him? Is there really a ticket price? Okay, lets say $20 Million…still sounds like a lot to me. That man has alot of money, point blank. The ratio fits. He has a lot of money = he gives a lot of money. Why is there so much confusion?
She is insuring financial stablity for her life, her children’s lives and her grand babies lives. So just like your other girlfriends, I must say, “get him girl…that’s right get that paper.”
