Tabloid Claims Fake Tiger Is A Fake!

Posted on Fri Jan 22, 2010 04:50 PM PDT

WFT?! X17online.com exposed the National Enquirer's "first photo of Tiger Woods in sex rehab" as a fake today when we published the first photo of the FAKE Tiger Woods in sex rehab (click here for that story) -- a guy wearing the same clothes, same shoes, same watch as the guy in their grainy, obscured photo from days before.

So what's the deal? Well the Enquirer would like us all to believe the following (taken from their email blast to the media this afternoon):

    In a laughable effort to cover up Tiger Woods’ stay in a sexual addiction clinic, a Tiger lookalike was trotted out in front of a group of paparazzi at the Gentle Path rehab center Friday in Hattiesburg, Miss.

    The bizarre and ridiculous ruse was a clear attempt to make it look like The ENQUIRER’s exclusive photo of Tiger in rehab is not him.

    And even though one photo agency Web site fell for it immediately, the differences between the two Tigers are obvious to even a casual observer.

    Tiger’s stand-in was paraded in front of a swarm of photographers and he was wearing EXACTLY the same clothing as the real Tiger when we photographed him days ago.

Are the differences really that obvious? Looks like the same guy to me! And would Tiger really roam around outside the rehab center knowing that his location had already been reported four days earlier in the international news and that reporters and photographers would swarm the Gentle Path center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi?

And would Tiger and his people AND the employees of Gentle Path really go to such extreme lengths to cover-up that Tiger is there at the center? Seems pretty unprofessional to me. I'd say if Tiger's peeps are willing to do something like that, then they should have spent more time and effort covering up the booty-load of women with whom he cheated on his wife!

There may be another reason the tabloid wants to cover their mistake ... we're told by numerous sources they sold the images of "Tiger" to the media for $10,000 a pop and that now, shows like The Today Show and others will refuse to pay.

So what do YOU make of all this? The majority of voters on the Huffington Post believe the National Enquirer pic is a fake Tiger. Let us know what YOU think ...



Seriously ... would grown people really go to the trouble to fake us out like this? Do rehab employees really have time to orchestrate such things when they're trying to get people healthy? I would think this would be a PR nightmare for them if it were to come out that they participated in a cover-up of these proportions -- completely unprofessional!

Is there a fake Tiger? Is the real Tiger in Mississippi?

The first shots were the real Tiger; today's Tiger is a decoy. But Tiger's definitely in Mississippi!
The National Enquirer got it wrong - both pix are of a look alike. Who knows where Tiger is?
Who knows? Maybe both pix are a fake Tiger and he's hidden inside OR he's someplace else.

Of course it's a trick. This isn't the same guy. Do you think some brother in Hattiesburg, MS is walking around a sex rehab clinic with a Stanford lid on???? Lots of Ivy League of the PAC-10 fans there ... also, the skin tone is different. I think Tiger's wife is preparing to arrive, hence they want to get rid of these pap pests. Almost worked ... maybe a change of clothes might've worked and also, who wears a hoodie like that? Come on, you guys were wrong and then wrong again. Not that I think the Enquirer's so great, because they print garbage but in this case, tip your hat to them. They got Uchitel and now they found Tiger.

Tigers Woods is there....I have a friend who works there. Beyonce's father is there as well. Her sister and her visited him there a couple of weeks ago.

Tigers PR people are doing a good job, they wanted to confuse the media and it seems to be working on X17.

Smokescreen if there ever was one.

I have my suspicion when I saw the photo posted by the Enquirer. I am hoping with all my heart that Tiger is receiving treatment for the sake of his family.



Posted by: take the pics down

take this pic down. not cool to show a pic of someone in rehab, who is not a public figure.

the dude was paid to be the fake tiger.

Not that laughable as it fooled the high school dropouts who work for X17 as it was one of their "breaking news" stories.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn where he is.

I was a patient at Gentle Path several years ago and it is so disheartening to see the circus surrounding the people who are there.

X17 are idiots! You dumbasses fell for it.

I didn't think the Enquirer's picture was the real Tiger until this guy shows up. Seems suspicious to me.

Tiger's skinny calves give him away. This dude's calves are thicker.

This guy is Keith Davis and he is with the Sheriffs Dept out of D'Iberville. I am from here and know that this is him. The Police are trying to keep the public away. Tiger is there, but he needs his privacy along with the other people there.

Who cares about him? I don't and anything he adverts for, I wouldn't buy.

Dr. Drew has said that Patrick Carnes, is the leading expert in sex addiction in the country. So naturally Tiger would go to the best no matter how camp like it looks to you.

X17 is clueless as usual. The Enquirer got it right.



Posted by: Elizabeth

If you had a Dad like Earl, who pushed you unrelentlessly, and then gave you the idea it was alright to cheat on your wife, you might end up like Tiger too. Give him some space to re-adjust his morals and conquer his addiction, if it is one. An addiction forms to fill emptiness. He had everything but he had nothing at the same time. Be kind!



Posted by: Ma Ma

The first picture of Tiger in rehab had a beard this guy does not.



Posted by: Flamer from canada

Tiger Wood doesn't deserve any attention. I hope his wife really bthinks things through god knows what dease it has picked up and can pass along to his beautiful wife and children

Now COME ON x17. This is The National Enquirer your talking about. They got it wrong??? That's like saying,
the world is flat!!!

The National Enquirer NEVER get's a MAJOR story wrong!!!

These people are one of the BEST investigative journalist in THE WORLD!!

I witnessed their TENACITY first hand when they were doing a cover story - these people are SHARP! They got EVERYTHING right! They don't have time to take on "silly' stories - and deal with lawsuits! They leave that to those other wanna-be mags to do!

The National Enquirer deserve THE PULITZER PRIZE!!

Their way better than even CNN. For goodness sake, HALF of their stories are from N.E. Exclusives!!

GOOD FOR THEM!!

You see why their so slick - THEY DON'T DO THE PR CRAP! They go undercover very well....... ;)

BTW: N.E., Can we get a story on this Illuminati b.s. that's going on? Lets break that story open next! Too much talk on that...

What went wrong on The X Factor today with Britney Spears?

Britney definitely had another meltdown. This is proof she's not ready to step back into the spotlight!
I think Britney may have overreacted to a bad audition, but it will be entertaining to watch later!
I think Simon Cowell planned this all along. Brit probably even rehearsed it!
