A majority of people said it “depends on the circumstances” whether Tiger Woods’ former mistress should have to return the $10 million in hush money because she reportedly broke their confidentiality agreement.
According to a poll conducted by the legal and medical website Avvo.com, 29 percent said “A deal is a deal – return it!”
Outlets have already lined up for Rachel Uchitel’s story long before she blew the hush-fund settlement.
Several months ago, Uchitel, 36, said she had a deal in place for a docudrama based on her life.
Uchitel also had a book deal that was canceled after she told too much to London’s Daily Mail.
According to TMZ.com, Woods’ lawyer said Uchitel violated a confidentiality agreement by talking of her “addiction to love.”
Rather than fight the charge, Uchitel allegedly followed the advice of her attorney, Gloria Allred, who told her she had to refund most of the money — a decision Uchitel regretted after learning Allred would retain all her legal fees for brokering the original deal.
According to the poll, 21 percent said she should “keep it” and not return the cash to Woods.
