Sources claim Tiger Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren is “concerned following his latest crash. Meanwhile, his ex-girlfriend Kristin Dodson Smith called the whole incident “triggering.”
“The kids are close with Tiger, so of course Elin cares too,” a source told People. “She wants him to be well. Both kids are great and love spending time with their dad. Elin’s concerned that he had another car crash and got arrested.”
Tiger Woods hit a pickup truck and rolled over his Range Rover on Friday, leading to his arrest for driving under the influence (which may or may not hold up in court) in Jupiter Island, Florida.
Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend Kristin Dodson Smith speaks out
On Sunday, Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend Kristin Dodson Smith wrote a lengthy message on social media addressing the legendary golfer’s crash.
“Regarding recent events and my past, I have moved forward and being dragged back into these moments, and untrue narratives is triggering,” she wrote.
“Beyond that, after traumatic unrelated incidents over the last couple of years, I don’t handle being unexpectedly approached or confrontation well, and it can be deeply unsettling for me.
“Anxiety and fear of my family and me being contacted, watched, followed, in hopes of provoking a reaction about something that has not involved me for a very long time simply does not get easier.”
She went on to add that she has “taken the time to process” her personal experiences and is “grateful for moments that have shaped her.”
Kristen Smith asked people to treat Tiger Woods with ‘decency’
“I hope people will remember that the person they have celebrated and been entertained by is, above all, a human being, and deserving of decency too, just like anyone else,” she continued.
“I respectfully ask that my family and I be treated with dignity and privacy now and as this process plays out.
“For nearly ten years, I have chosen silence around this situation. That decision wasn’t always easy. Finally not abandoning myself feels cathartic. Moving on.”
