Joslyn James, a porn star and alleged mistress of Tiger Woods, held her first press conference on Wednesday since the golfer's infidelity scandal began. She's breaking her silence for an unusual cause: to protest a new line of golf balls called "Tail of the Tiger -- the Mistress Collection." As sold by Creative Classics, the balls feature images of the many women linked to the married Woods, 34.

James, whose real name is Veronica Swik-Daniels, doesn't want a cut of the profits from the quirky sports product.
Instead, she said in Los Angeles that "it is wrong for a golf ball to have my picture on it -- because golfers hit their golf balls with a lot of force."

Swik-Daniels continued, "as a victim of violence myself, it bothered me to think that someone would be standing with a dangerous club hitting a ball with my photo on it."
The adult film actress appeared with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, who has famously represented scores of celebrities as well as Rachel Uchitel, the first Woods mistress to be publicly identified last November.
Remember when Tiger's started? Look back on his worst week ever
Allred said at the press conference that "hitting a woman or an image of a woman is not a sport...this would be no different than using a picture of a woman's face for target practice." She noted that a "cease and desist" letter has been sent to Creative Classics, demanding that the company immediately halt sales of balls with Swik-Daniels' likeness. The famous lawyer argued that the "Tail of the Tiger" balls are "dangerous and reprehensible" and promote "violence against women."
Speaking on a personal note, Swik-Daniels surmised, "I don't think that Tiger would want my picture on a golf ball."

Of her actual affair with Woods, she claimed, "I was in love with Tiger...and I believed that he loved me too."
Allred said that the golfer had "feelings" for her client -- as expressed in numerous text messages. In one dated Oct. 1, 2009, Woods allegedly wrote to Swik-Daniels, "Baby, I'm not going anywhere or doing anything. You please me like no other has or ever will. I am not losing that."
Tell Us What You Think
91Joslyn James - what a looser. maybe she should care more about screwing around with a married man? WTF? how much did you pay for that interview US?? Leave Tiger alone, his business in NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!
ha ha wow. don't sleep with someone else's husband you wouldn't be there. classic.
this the gal he cheated his wife for..lol..to be fair Tiger is the one that should be blame..he a married man,he should know better..no excuse
I have a problem understanding how any of the consorts can demand anything (apology or otherwise) of thier customers. Eyes-Wide Open Chicks. You play you pay. I doubt that "golddigger" Alred can come up with any signed or verbal entitlements either.
It's just a bunch of golf balls and pictures of this girl. But those golf balls would look better with Reille Hunter's face on them.
Please, Ms Bimbo. Tiger cared nothing about you. You were just a piece of @$$. He has a sex addiction. He apparently will say and do anything in order to have sex with you and others like you. You are an adulterer! No one cares about any of the so-called mistresses on the golf balls. You knew Tiger was married and you put out anyway. I think there is a saying, if it walks like sluck and talks like a sluck, it is a Tiger Woods mistress. Case closed.
JOSYLN JAMES IS NOTHING BUT A BACKSTABBING SNAKE! GO SOMEWHERE AND SIT DOWN--AMERICA HATES YOU!!!
Via Clueless: X- "My plastic surgeon said I shouldn't have balls flying at my face" 0- "There goes your social life" LOL
I agree; it's degrading- Oh, wait, she's a porn star; writing the book on degradation of women. What a joke. She didn't mind when his balls were flying at her face. Why now?
I would like to have some so I could wake a few. You should stop winning you sleep with a married man. I do not feel a bit sorry for your crying a.. I hope that they make many more and hit them to the pound with your dirty a..
I am so tired of hearing these girls whine. They did it and they should get over it. What did they really expect-seriously? If they didn't want the consequences, they shouldn't have done it. Not one of these girls is an innocent victim-you would have to live under a rock in Antarctica not to know what happens when these details come out. If they didn't want this kind of publicity and ribbing-here is a thought-DON'T do it.
When the Tiger's balls were on her face, did she queal?
The best thing that happened to Michael Caldwell at www.tailofthetiger is that Veronica Siwek-Daniels (aka. Joslyn James) hired Gloria Allred and held a much heralded press conference to discuss the wrong that had been perpetrated on her client. As an outsider, I totally understand the frustration and the cease and desist request from Ms. James and Ms. Allred, as it seems that Mr. Caldwell is trying to capitalize of her image without her consent. The part that kind of made the press conference a little wacky was the part of hitting the golf ball and associating it with violence. I must say as a company that puts many facial images on Photo golf balls, be it girlfriends, boyfriends, kids or grandkids, itâ??s hard to make the violence connection when so many people love getting photo golf balls and playing a round of golf with said balls. On the issue of using her image without her consent, I must say if there is law that says a drawing of a person is not the same as a photo of a person, congrats to Mr. Caldwell and his lawyer for not only being creative but resourceful. As for the media frenzy associated with this sex scandal, itâ??s just unbelievable to me, it never seems to stop. Every day we get another snippet of information and we can only assume that it will continue throughout the year. Therefore, if youâ??re one of the lucky ones that can afford the Mistress Golf Balls and are looking for some golf tees to support the golf balls for your collection or your next round of golf, why not try our Wood-â??deeâ?? tees www.thegolfteestore to complete the sex scandal paraphernalia.
