One of the strangest things happened with Jim Carrey over the past few days. He was sitting around, tweeting away, and he decided to put his two cents in about Tiger and Elin Woods. I think maybe Jim was watching the Masters golf tournament? Maybe? Whatever, so Jim took to Twitter to discuss his feelings on Tiger and his whores and his marriage, and Jim set off a firestorm. At first, Jim basically just said that we should leave Tiger alone and let him play golf, writing: “Tiger Woods owes nothing 2 anyone but himself. 2 please his father he gave up his childhood and his freedom in the world. That’s enough!” The next tweet, however, caused more consternation: “No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity. Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason. kids/lifestyle ;^)” Now, Jim hasn’t pulled down those tweets, but he did write later that “I do not condone infidelity” and “infidelity has never been an issue 4 me”. Which isn’t how I remember his past relationships, but whatever. Then Jim said that his “people” told him to take it down a notch. Here’s some of the exchange:

Ugh. Don’t murder me in my sleep, but I see where Jim is coming from. I’m not saying I agree with his assessment of Elin being a “willing participant” but I can totally understand how Jim was just sitting around and he decided to throw out a theory on Elin and Tiger’s marriage via Twitter. It’s just how he was thinking at the time, and it’s not like he wrote “Every married man should go out and screw as many ladies as he wants, all the time.” The sheer quantity of Tiger’s whores has made me idly wonder if Elin had an inkling too – but then I think about the dozens of enablers Tiger has around him, servicing his every whim and covering his tracks, and it makes sense of Elin could not have known.
Now, notice how Jim doesn’t really want to pontificate on Sandra Bullock’s marriage though. Interesting…
so i wonder who cheated him or jenny
He forgot to take his meds? He can be so off kilter.
Much ado about nothing. I actually think Elin must have known to a certain extent what she was getting herself into by marrying Tiger in the first place.
I agree, I think she had to have been at least somewhat checked out to have not been aware. We always attribute such high ideals to the “wronged partner”, and now, given her unwillingness to kick Tiger’s nasty a$$ to the curb, it makes me wonder if she’s simply all about the fame and lifestyle. (Not that anything EVER makes Tiger Woods behavior acceptable- he’s just gross.)
i think she knew to a certain extent, like she found out before then forgave him because it was a one time thing then found out again (and this time it was going to be reported in tabloids)and went off and chased him to his car with a golf club.
He does have a point about the degree of naivety that Elin has shown. On the other hand she could have butchered Tiger in his sleep, in divorce court or in the media and chose not to. There’s most likely more to the story than anyone outside that marriage knows.
That was pretty douchey of Jim to make those comments. How does he know what Elin knew? Like Kaiser says, he had handlers and people covering for him. He was always away at golf tourneys so I bet she didn’t suspect anything for years.
Of course she knew. A majority of the people who get cheated on, KNOW. Either they refuse to acknowledge it, or just go along with it knowingly. People who don’t know they’re cheated on, must be out to lunch or something. I mean, come on, your man does like a 1000 women and you don’t know? Please! Oh well.
So if Elin “knew”, why did she go all crazy white girl on him/Tiger with a golf club???
Tiger had himself covered by a host of well paid “friends” and Elin didn’t expect him to be so stupid.
Is Jim off is meds again? Stupid idiot. He deserves all backlash from this.
Elin may have had her suspicions but no proof, or Tiger and his team were good at covering and she had no idea, but what is the point of publicly trashing her and supporting the massive cheater Tiger? A little notoriety at Elin’s expense?
I am sure he would say something similar about Sandra Bullock, but his people have probably shut him down on that subject.
Perhaps Elin knew that “something” was up, but was willing to look the other way as long as Tiger was discreet. Being confronted, publicly, by your husband’s busload of sluts is a different story.
I heard from a friend of mine two years ago about Tiger’s infidelities. How there is a No-Shame clause in his marriage that states that he can sleep around but cannot be caught. Apparently, there are a lot of celebs who have these clauses and at the time, I thought it was just a silly rumor. Lo and behold. Carey’s right, I mean, even housewives with husbands who are traveling all the time, have a heighten sense of intuition. Just my two cents.
No one knows what Elin knew, certainly not Jim Carrey.
He comments on Tiger’s right to privacy. Tiger used his family to promote his image, to attract sponsor’s. Fair game! Carrey has two failed marriages and a third relationship has ended and he’s busy commenting on Elin. Foul play!
Stick to peanut butter.
I find it difficult to believe she agreed to any infidelity, after the incident of the golf club and broken windows.
Jim Carrey is a giant douche nozzle. Such a dank. There is just no need to comment on this crap.
On the one hand, I think she (like most “wronged” women) probably had an inkling that something was up or she’d taken him back after mistress number one, but what woman would seriously consider unprotected sex – which they have 2 young kids as a result of – with anything that had been shoved up a bunch of pay-per-hour hobags? You also don’t suddenly take a 9-iron to your husband’s back window if you’ve been complicit in his cheating all along…
God I hate twitter. I never wanted to know the inner workings of an actor’s mind. I just want them to act in movies. This twitter business ruins the suspension of disbelief we all agree to when we watch a movie. I hate imagining jim carey having ideas about tiger woods. I hate thinking about him thinking about infidelity, and I hate thinking about him and a peanut butter sandwich. Twitter is ruining the mystique of actors. i can’t watch demi moore ever again in a movie (not that she even has a job in one) without thinking about her stupid twitter life and verbal diarrhea. please actors, remember that you owe a large part of your success to the ability to be a believable chameleon on screen. the less we all know about you, the more the audience can be transported. think about it, and then shut up on twitter.
I think it was the public exposure of Tiger’s douchery that made Elin go all bat sh*t crazy on him with the golf club. I think she probably knew he was a scab, but didn’t want the rest of the world to be in on it.
When you marry men in positions of power expect to be cheated on. Period. Too many are megalomaniacs with too much wherewithal at their disposal. In this sense, yes, I do suspect that one “knows” about extramarital excursions.
I don’t like quoting the Bible as I am a born-again pagan, but I really like the verse that roughly says:
“It’s easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle than to enter into Heaven.”
Love it, for who needs moral culpability and spiritual evolution when you are sitting on mounds of cash :/ Morality is for the middle class and faith is for the poor.
As regards Mr. Carey, it’s not his place. It’s not our place to speculate either, but we don’t have a successful Hollywood career to manage. Tread carefully, James. It’s open season on capricorns as Tiger Woods, Mel Gibson, Nicholas Cage, and Kirstie Alley can attest.
I enjoy twitter, but could not stomach Jim Carrey’s tweeting. Thirty seconds of those crazy emoticons and I had to unfollow. Still going strong with celebitchy, though!
I can relate to his argument. I am not condoning what Tiger did but as a wife, you have to be living in a shoe box for your husband to have 19 mistresses and be a member of several ‘madam’ clubs and you are still blissfully unaware,
I am not saying it is impossible, just that when am idling, I do wonder. He is a golfer, so he is hardly busy year round and if he is not with you, you’ve got to wonder.
Tiger had the world fooled, then again, we do not sleep in the same bed with him. I don’t think Elin was an accomplice but she has to be either very dumb or something if she had no idea. My guess is that she had an idea and that is why she is sticking around. She is more humiliated than hurt. If my husband had half as many mistresses as Tiger, I would have packed and left by now. But it is her life and her problems.
“When you marry men in positions of power expect to be cheated on. Period. Too many are megalomaniacs with too much wherewithal at their disposal. In this sense, yes, I do suspect that one “knows” about extramarital excursions….
… Morality is for the middle class and faith is for the poor”
yup, yup, yup.
I cannot BELIEVE that ANYONE is shocked about it.
Leave Tiger alone??? Why doesn’t Tiger leave the world alone??? Why does Tiger continue to shove his face into my world with TV commercials, ads, and interviews!! Jim Carey has this ass backwards – it’s Tiger Woods shoving his face into my world and honestly, I’d really wish he’d crawl into the nearest hole so I don’t have to put up with him!
“I think it was the public exposure of Tiger’s douchery that made Elin go all bat sh*t crazy on him with the golf club.”
Ermmm… but the accident is the incident that started all the media hoop-la, not the other-way round, surely?
“God I hate twitter. I never wanted to know the inner workings of an actor’s mind.”
Ditto. See also: excessive courting of the paparazzi. I can no longer stomach watching anything featuring: Demi, Ashton, Speidi, the Brangeliston Triangle, Katie Price & Peter Andre, Courtney Love, Paris Hilton, the list is (unfortunately) almost endless.
How I crave a little old-school Hollywood mystique! (Whilst understanding the irony of writing that statement on a gossip blog)
Epic fail on Jim’s part here.
I don’t know whether she knew or not, I suspect not, but I don’t know, and sorry Jim Carrey, neither do you! I seriously doubt he knows the inner workings of their marriage. Either way, to call her a willing participant is out of line, IMO.
As a celebrity himself, I doubt Jim would like other celebs commenting on the private details of his relationships. When you’re in the public eye, you have to think about what you’re saying and putting out there.
BTW, Tiger owes nothing to anyone but himself? I agree regarding the public, but I do think he owes something to his wife, children, and family.
Whether Elin knew about it or not, their children certainly didn’t know about it, and Tiger should have gone to better measures to protect his family (there are many ways to run a libido-driven life discretely.)
I find it interesting that he is suddenly clean shaven. Do men who are unhappy in their relationships start looking like goats? Witness Brad and J*** and Jim Carry. Hmmmm. And now we have bored goatish Brad now. Hmmm.
Bros: Good post.
As for Elin knowing about the infidelity? I think not. I think she was naive. Often the one being cheated on has no radar for it because they themselves would never consider doing it so it never enters their mind. Those who cheat, or who have been cheated on previously, are the suspicious ones.
She’s not in it for fame- she does zero interviews. And if she knew, then why did she flip out and destroy his car with a golf club? Those aren’t the actions if someone is complacent. And the media frenzy shows that no one knew- that’s why it was such a big story. Look at the facts, people.
And he is right.
I also sort of see his point. When all the mistresses first started coming out, my dad and I were wondering if maybe Elin and Tiger made some kind of arrangement. You know, something like, “Okay, you’re going to be gone for long periods of time, you can sleep with other women, but I don’t want to know anything about it, and you keep it away from the family.”
We thought maybe the breaking point came when he brought some of the women into the family home, and then Elin learned about the no condom shenanigans.
So, I see Jim Carrey’s point, but it’s really none of his business, and why go posting that on his Twitter? Who does he think he is, Demi Moore? It’s sort of different when we discuss it on this site because we’re relatively anonymous, non-famous people, but Jim Carrey’s a star. Did he not think that comment might tarnish his reputation a little?
I think celebs that use twitter to comment on other celebs or start stuff with them are just doing it for their own publicity & attention, in their minds it gives them 15 minutes of attention they wouldnt otherwise have had.
That said, i do agree that it would be hard to believe she didnt know something was going on. Most know or suspect but some in that world would consider it a trade off to keep with the celeb lifestyle.
Carrey is a fool. He is supposed to be some sort of relationship expert now? With his track record?
Pathetic.
No, no, no. The responsibility for infidelity is NOT shared by both parties. Cheating is never justified. If your partner is making you miserable, GET OUT before you dip your doodle in someone else’s poodle. It’s THAT simple.
I agree with Jim and think his tweets come off as playful and friendly. NBD.
it’s sooo funny to see Carrey trying to stay revelant
he’s a bipolar mess
take ur meds dude and take a nap
hmm that an old picture of jim carrey
I thoguht he lost the crazy when he dumped Jenny.
Anyway, I think she may have suspected, but you don’t leave a marriage just because you suspect. You have to have proof. Some people don’t want to believe their loved ones are doing something wrong.
I agree with Jim, whether it was any of his business to comment on it or not. Reading gossip websites and giving ones opinion is what we are doing here, no?
Fact is, there is this little thing called intuition, and it is almost always right on. Tiger was a good liar, and his handlers helped with the cover ups. But the fact remains,in a marriage you know when something is not right with your spouse, even if you don’t know the reason why. And any concerned spouse would do a little digging. And she found the tip of the iceberg when she looked through his phone, correct? I would have been like Magnum PI if I thought something was off with my husband. Tracks couldnt have been covered that well, as we have since discovered.
Yeah right, is that why Tiger called one of his ho’s, and told her to erase her voice mail greeting to a generic voice message,when Elin found the number and questioned him about it.
Is she knew why did she chase his butt down with a golf club when she confirmed for herself what a cheating bastard he was, and try to lobotomized his brain.
I think she is staying right now because she does not want to lose out to all of his skanks, but I truly doubt she is in for the long run, and when she does leave I hopes she takes both kids back to her country.
Several things: He’s a Jackass who can’t even type like an adult!!! The guy can’t stay married either, what does that tell you?
Considering Elin grabbed a blunt object and went after him while he was sleeping, I have a hard time believing she was a willing participant. To even suggest that is disgusting. Does he know Elin and how perceptive she is or not? Apparently not, since he’s tweeting about it. Idiot.
I hate twitter!!!!!! It’s only a vehicle for Jackass narcissists like Carrey.
“Morality is for the middle class and faith is for the poor.”
Truer words were never spoken!!
I really hate Twatter. It is one of the stupidest things ever invented. I just don’t think we need to know THAT much about each other! I don’t blame Jim Carrey so much for saying something thoughtless, as much as the medium in which he said it. I just wish Twatter would go away, but it’s not going to.
Please, Celebitchy, do a little digging and find out what caused the Jim Carrey/Jenny Mccarthy break-up. Was it his crazy behavior? I am inclined to think so…especially after this Twitter nonsense!
We get mad when Dr. Pinsky, a trained and liscensed doctor, specializing in addiction, speaks about celebs he doesn’t know/never treated (same for Dr. Phil), but Jim Carey, a (twice-divorced) actor gets to publicly analyze someone else’s relationship he doesn’t know?
He may be right, but he has no more insight than the rest of us, and waaay more influence (people pay more attention to fifty celebtwatters tweaking than a million Joe Blow blogs), and he needs to be more responsible with it.
Bottomline: he is totally screwing with a part of his fanbase that might be women who’ve been cheated on. That’s bad business.
At this point who cares. This woman will have more money than all of us for the rest of her life whether she stays with him through good times or bad and she did not have to earn one dime of it herself, she was a nanny *rolls eyes*. SO, I really don’t care if she knew or not… bitch is paid, and good for her. I mean didn’t uchitel (sp)? get like 10 mil? *seethes* Other than the fact that I would probably get some kind of std or cervical cancer, I would sleep with Tiger for a milli or ten. LOL judge me I don’t care.
Yeah, I agree that his frantic calls to the hos to change their voicemail greeting pretty much showed that his wife didn’t know and had just caught on to his bs. He was cheating mostly away from home and appears to have a whole network in place to protect his antics. Doesn’t sound like a wife who is cool with cheating.
Carey is a annoying loud mouth. Always was.
I disagree completely. She didn’t know. He spent a lot of energy making sure not only on her not knowing, but the rest of the world. She was as shocked as the rest of us, which her actions certainly suggest.
Right on… Someone in Hollyweird is finally stating the obvious. Elin is apparently with Tiger for his status and money. And she confirms that fact every day.
Well he’s wrong about a few things, including that Tiger doesn’t owe anyone anything… if he didn’t want to owe anyone anything he shouldn’t have got married and fathered two children.
Yeah Elin knew. She knew from about late November 2009. That’s when Tiger started feeling some consequences to his actions.
there is no way she didn’t know something was wrong, but when you love someone you always hope they will change. sadly, they don’t – they go on to make douchey commercials for nike.
I would believe that Sandra knew before I would believe Elin knew. Women who know generally don’t go after their husbands with golf clubs.
Okay Jim.. time to go back on meds!!
As for Elin.. Look how many douchey friends Tiger had on his payroll.. how many ‘yes men’ at his beck and call.. how many to make damn sure she never found out..
Tiger is a master liar and may have done one hell of a job talking his way out of any suspisous (so can’t spell today) situations that may have come up.
And she may have had some major suspicious situations come up and could they could have both fallen for the lies he and his friends told.
But something triggered the golf club incident.. and that could have been her finally getting proof.
Didn’t even read the article or all the comments, but I did notice he was communicating via twitter.
Twitiots need to be eliminated.
no Kaiser, hes just saying that we shouldnt give tiger shit for his affairs but instead we should partially balme his wife?. WTF i am sick and tired of when men cheat on their wives theres always some bullshit excuse about how its partially the wifes fault for some reason.
he said the reason he cheated was because Elin was spending too much time with the kids-so shes roasted for that. if she didnt, she’d be roasted for that too. seems like wives cant win in these cases and your dialogue is only adding shit to the manure pile!
Feebee said: “Well he’s wrong about a few things, including that Tiger doesn’t owe anyone anything… if he didn’t want to owe anyone anything he shouldn’t have got married and fathered two children.”
exactly! well said Feebee!
while I think there is some truth behind what he said regarding Elin’s knowledge, I do not think she would have ever guessed the extent of Tiger’s indiscretions. And she is certainly in a tough spot now, damned if she do, damned if she don’t.
And while I may see some shred of truth in what Jim Carrey tweeted, I do not think it was very kind or even appropriate of him, but at least he did not backtrack.
ok the wife stays home with the kids (just like I do) she trusts that her man is out makin’ money and nothing else..she trusted him,he broke the trust,that simple..
why shouldn’t Jim be able to say what is on his mind without people freaking out??
I think the reason he didn’t want to comment on the whole Bullock thing was a joke – you know, because he upset everyone so obviously nobody wants to hear his opinion on Sandy/Jesse James.
And why is it potentially life-threatening to say the truth? A lot of the time the other person in the relationship has some *small* role in the affair of their partner and the “other man/woman”. Whether they’re a Kate Gosselin type, or they’re a “I’m gonna look the other way” type…. I see what Jim was saying. He wasn’t saying it was Elin’s fault, that she deserved it, or that she caused it – he’s just saying she probably knew and looked the other way.
Then again – when you’re THAT famous, the amount of enablers/handlers you can afford might just be enough to cover your tracks. Who knows?
He’s projecting here, because he cheated on his first wife Melissa with Lauren Holly, and there were stories that he cheated on Lauren shortly after THEY were married as well.
I know several women whose husbands cheated on them and they had no clue. One husband had 3 other mistresses and kept these affairs from each of them for 4 years. She was busy raising their children, paying the bills, and running a home. Her husband pulled the same “you knew – you just didn’t care” card, and you know why? Because it removes blame from them.
Look, if you’re going to be an asshole, own it. Otherwise, you’re lower than a ballsack on a dead munchkin.
Elin may have known about Tiger’s affairs and they could have had a “understanding”. What may have sent her over the edge was the fact he was having unprotected sex with these women. What really happened between Tiger and Elin the world may never know, but the rumours of Tiger paying millions to one of the women to keep quiet makes me think there is more to this story.
No women stay at home anymore just to care for kids??? UM what pkanet does he live on? There are thousands upon thousands of moms in the US alone who stay home just to care for their children.
Why does he feel the need to comment on someone else’s marriage period?
Me thinketh thou protest to much Jim.
I think Elin knew she was being cheated on, but I don’t think she knew the extent of it all (ie – how many chicks Tigers really had on the side) and THAT’S why she went all crazy on him with a golf club.
Jim Carrey’s right on the money. I wanna shake him so hard, though, for overusing those damn smiley faces.
“Stick to peanut butter.”
I think you missed his point here and it makes me sad.
Where were all you tiger haters, when Bill Clinton cheated on his wife with tons of women?from Pauka Jones to Jenifer Flowers, to Kathleen wiley to Monica.?you women still voted for him. where was all this outrage then?leave tiger alone.
4SvbSz I�m a serial-commenter. It�s probably because I have an opinion on everything an
