TIGERS MADAM SPEAKS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME

To be broadcast Wednesday, February 10, 2010  

New York, NY - Feb. 10, 2010 - Hollywood madam Michelle Braun, who says she supplied women for Tiger Woods, is speaking out for the first time to INSIDE EDITION'S Paul Boyd. 

She calls herself the most successful madam in history, and that her business catering to the rich and famous earned about $17 million dollars over 13 years. 

Braun even says that she has another athlete as a client who is far more famous that Woods, but that she cannot give out his name.

Braun says her business was so successful because her escorts were also high-profile.

Braun: "I made celebrity introductions.  I only booked famous girls, Playboy Playmates, Penthouse Pets, actresses, models...I never used the word ‘escort', I never discussed sex.  It was all about the introduction...I didn't have to talk about sex.  Sex was going to happen.  That was given."

Braun was drawn into the Tiger Woods sex scandal when two of his alleged mistresses, Loredona Jolie and Jamie Jungers, were identified in reports as her escorts.  She says Jungers - who denies ever having worked as an escort - was hanging out with Woods in Las Vegas when he called her for the first time.

Braun: "He said, ‘This is Tiger.  I got your number from Jamie.'"

Braun says Woods and Jungers were looking for more women to party with.  She also says he requested a specific type of girl.

Braun: "Petite, blonde, natural, not overly busty - and girls that partied...in my industry, a girl that was open to doing drugs."

She says that Woods usually requested multiple women and that he was willing to pay big bucks - as much as $60,000 in one weekend and $250,000 over the course of a year.  She says she arranged women for him on twelve different occasions.

Braun: "One girl, when I called her to go back, she said, ‘I don't know if I can keep up with him...he can go for days.'"

The madam, who is a divorced mother of two daughters living in Boca Raton, Fla., says she hopes Elin will take comfort in the fact that Woods was not having love affairs with her escorts.

Braun: "It was not a love affair.  He was not in love with another woman.  It was just sex."
