Gloria Allred Speaks Out for Tiger’s Alleged Mistress

Tiger Woods' alleged "mistress No. 1" Rachel Uchitel is weathering a media firestorm, and her lawyer, Gloria Allred, tells ET that a joke made on "The View" at Uchitel's expense is "defamatory."

A crack made by Joy Behar on yesterday's show (where she said, "What's her name? Uchitel? Yeah, you could tell she's a hooker.") had the audience laughing, but not Uchitel or Allred.

"That's very, very upsetting to our client Rachel because the statement is not true," says Allred. "It is false, it is defamatory and it is very damaging to her. She values her reputation and we have, as a result, asked ABC … to retract that statement."
