Elin Nordegren, Tiger's now ex-wife, recently gave People magazine an exclusive interview, describing what she's gone through with her divorce from Woods. 

Nordegren was largely viewed as the victim in all of this, and with good reason. Given the number of women Woods slept with, Elin will have a tough time playing any role but victim. 

While the interview is drawing largely positive reviews, here are 10 ridiculous reasons she hurt her image with the interview. 

(editor's note: Please note that this story was meant as satire. No one actually thinks these kinds of things regarding Elin Nordegren.) 

10. Not the Sharpest Knife in the Drawer

Nordegren admitted people might think she's dumb.
Nordegren admitted people might think she's dumb.

"I felt stupid as more things were revealed. How could I not have known anything?" - quote from the interview. 

Clearly Nordegren saw that one coming. With as many mistresses as Woods had, how did she not know? 

9. Still Lying?

Just because she used to be a model, doesn't make her not a liar.

In her interview, Nordegren claims not to have hit Tiger with a golf club the night of his accident. 

But if she didn't, why didn't Tiger come out publicly with the bruises? He didn't get them from the accident, he wasn't going fast enough. 

8. Concealing the Truth?

She might be dangerous. Be careful!
She might be dangerous. Be careful!

If she's lying (which she might be), she's not just a liar, she's a violent liar! Watch out, future boyfriends!

7. Why Now?

Why now?
Why now?

Why'd Elin wait this long? She claims it was because she wasn't ready. Everyone was on your side! People would have understood (the general populace, not the magazine). 

She lost some points for staying silent for so long.

6. A Degree in Psychology?

Elin said she was studying for her degree in psychology, and that was part of the reason she was oblivious to Tiger's infidelities. 

But, wouldn't someone studying the way people think notice a change in her husband's behavior? Plus, people don't like shrinks very much, as a general rule. 

5. Been through Hell?

How does she know what hell's like?

Nordegren said she's been through hell the last few months with the divorce and the infidelities coming to light. 

How does she know what it's like? Has she ridden coach on JetBlue too?

4. She's Rich

Hard to feel sorry for someone who gets $100 million for divorcing their husband. 

3. Tiger's Game

Given the way Tiger's played lately, it's easier to feel bad for him than for her. 

2. She Wants to Stay in the U.S.

Why not move where kids turn out like this?
Why not move where kids turn out like this?

Elin also said she wants to stay in the U.S. to raise her kids. She doesn't want to raise her kids where the women look like this?

Now, I love the U.S. as much as the next guy, but come on!

1. She's Disappearing

That's right. She's disappearing.
That's right. She's disappearing.

That's right, folks. This interview was the last we'll hear from Elin Nordegren. See? I told you there were reasons why this would hurt her image.
