Doing her best to separate herself from rumors of an affair with Tiger Woods, Rachel Uchitel is taking all of the necessary steps to make the situation as painless as possible.

“I did not have any involvement with him [Woods],” Miss Uchitel, who was spotted at LAX Airport on Sunday, told E! News. “Whatever was written in the Enquirer was not said by me, it was said by two people that claimed they were friends of mine, but they’re not.”

Rachel, who is a New York nightclub manager, continued: “I am overwhelmed, so I hired Gloria Allred to handle the situation. I don’t want to get this much attention, and I wish everybody would leave me alone.”

And while she’s denying any intimate happenings, a friend admits that it wouldn’t be out of her character, saying, “She is a fun party girl; she was definitely into celebrities. She’s into being around famous people. Her job was to rack up VIP clientele. She is a flirtatious girl.”
