WENN.com Tiger Woods Pleads Guilty In Court On Friday Tiger Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving on Friday afternoon in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as part of a program that will likely keep him from serving any prison time. The professional golfer largely remained silent in court and only spoke in order to answer “yes” when asked several questions about his plans to plead guilty. Woods was arrested in Florida on Memorial Day under suspicion of driving under the influence after police discovered him in his car stopped on the side of the road. Tiger had pain, anxiety, and sleeping medications as well as THC in his system at the time of his arrest according to the toxicology report. Shortly after his arrest, Woods released a statement saying he did not realize the mix of medications “had affected me so strongly.” In August, he entered into a DUI first-offender program, under which the state dropped the DUI charge, which allowed him to plead guilty to the lesser charge of reckless driving. There is no jail time in the plea deal unless Woods violates probation in a major way. The deal calls for 12 months of probation, standard court fees, a $250 fine, $250 charity donation, 50 hours of community service, an online class and completion of DUI school.
Tiger Woods was arrested on DUI charges last month after police in Jupiter, Florida noticed the famous golfer was driving in bizarre fashion. In the aftermath, it was revealed that Woods was not drunk. Instead, he was under the influence of a cocktail of prescription drugs. The issue at hand was put down to back surgery the 41-year-old had, and he allegedly took a bad reaction to the painkillers prescribed to him by doctors at the time. Tiger recognized that he did need some help in a statement shortly after the incident. “I’m currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder,” Woods said at the time. “I want to thank everyone for the amazing outpouring of support and understanding especially the fans and players on tour.” While this proved Tiger showed he was remorseful for what went down, not everyone felt like he was taking the treatment seriously. He was spotted out and about with his kids, presumably meaning he was not in an in-patient facility. Some felt that he was using the treatment as a tactic to get a lighter sentence. On top of that, the treatment has now been completed, with Tiger taking to Twitter to let his followers know this was not something he was just going to brush under the rug. “I recently completed an out of state private intensive program,” he said in the statement. “I will continue to tackle this going forward with my doctors, family, and friends. I am so very thankful for all the support I’ve received.” With the treatment over, Woods is scheduled to appear in court on July 8. We’re unsure what the court date will hold for the gold legend, but we’ll have more clarity in the coming days. What do you think of all of this? Sound off below!

Why is Bill Maher the worst? Serious question. He insists on making outrageous, offensive statements because … well, we don’t know why, exactly. We just know that it never, ever seems to stop. Just last month Bill made an incest joke about Donald and Ivanka Trump, saying “When he’s about to nuke Finland or something, she’s gonna walk into the bedroom and — ‘Daddy, Daddy. Don’t do it, Daddy.'” He then made a gesture indicating that she’d grab his penis to calm him down. He also once compared Zayn Malik to Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , which, you know, isn’t great. The point is that he’s known for pushing boundaries at each and every opportunity. And apparently he thought last night’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher was a great chance to be a jackass. His guest last night was Nebraska Senator Bill Sasse, and at one point, Sasse invited Bill to visit Nebraska. “We’d love to have you work in the fields with us,” he told him, smiling. Bill, in his strange little mind, felt the appropriate response was to say “Work in the fielnds? Senator, I’m a house n—–.” Bill Maher Says the N-Word on Real Time His audience had some mixed responses, and understandably so, but Bill was quick to assure them that it was a joke. But Twitter wasn’t convinced. “I for one am shocked that giant racist Bill Maher is in fact a giant racist,” one person tweeted. Another wrote “Bill Maher said the N-word? Wow this totally changes my previously high opinion of that smug Islamophobic misogynistic attention-whore.” One person theorized that “Bill Maher seems way too comfortable using the n-word. I mean, that came naturally to him. That… says a lot. And none of it is good.” And, for the obligatory “hold my beer” joke, someone tweeted “‘Nobody can screw up a career better than me’ Tiger Woods ‘Hold my beer’ Kathy Griffin ‘No, both of you hold my latte’ Bill Maher.” Meanwhile, Ben Sasse himself took to Twitter to discuss the controversy. “I’m a 1st Amendment absolutist,” he began. “Comedians get latitude to cross hard lines.” “But free speech comes with a responsibility to speak up when folks use that word. Me just cringing last night wasn’t good enough.” He wrote that he wished he’d been able to gather his thoughts enough in the moment to say “Hold up, why would you think it’s OK to use that word?” View Slideshow: 14 Celebrity N-Word Scandals “The history of the n-word is an attack on universal human dignity. It’s therefore an attack on the American Creed. Don’t use it.” Too little, too late, or an appropriate response? It’s hard to know when everything is such a great big awful mess.

This week on Teen Mom: OG, Catelynn lamented giving up her daughter for adoption, and Amber suffered a huge breakdown … again. Meanwhile, rumors of Ryan Edwards’ drug use continued and Farrah Abraham … well, one never knows what to make of Farrah Abraham. The focal point of Teen Mom OG Season 4 Episode 9 was a trip to Puerto Rico for Catelynn Lowell’s birthday. Everyone was invited! Well, except for Farrah Abraham who deliberately wasn’t. Maci Bookout commented that “the only important people on the show” were attending. Call the fire department, someone got burned! Catelynn then summed up the snub this way: “I’m sure everyone’s gonna wonder why didn’t Farrah go? It’s ’cause she wasn’t invited.” That pretty much clears it up. Thank you, Cate. In Puerto Rico, the “important people” promptly delved into personal drama, such as whether Maci’s ex Ryan Edwards is on drugs . It’s a real concern, and Amber Portwood has been down a similar, dark road enough times to spot this problem a mile away. “Ryan’s f–ked up. I watch it. I see it.” “I know it. Where he’s at right now, when I see him, I know where he’s at and I’m just like, ‘Wow, he needs some guidance.'” Maci, who on last week’s Teen Mom OG said she wanted to get Ryan’s parents involved, said everyone is in denial about his battle. “What I’m saying is that everyone else around him is too afraid of what it will look like more than his health,” said Bookout. “Absolutely, it’s all denial. They all know.” “Honestly, the hardest thing is for me to see Ryan not love himself because he is a person worth loving. He deserves to love himself.” Bookout then broke down in tears and revealed her fear that Ryan will die of substance abuse and leave Bentley fatherless. “I’m just sick of cleaning up his mess. I get tired of dealing with the s–t. Just being the only one that f–ing sees everything and cares.” “I talk to Taylor about it like, ‘I wonder if today’s going to be the day that Ryan does something that he can’t come back from?'” Maci married Taylor McKinney, with whom she has two additional children, in 2016. Her confession had an impact on Catelynn. Lowell teared up and had to leave the table, while her husband, Tyler Baltierra, clarified that Catelynn still struggles with PPD. Not just from Nova’s recent birth, but Catelynn feels guilty for giving up Carly for adoption years earlier, her spouse revealed. “She’s got a lot of guilt,” Tyler said. Cate often thinks about how she “could have a 7, 8-year-old running around,” Baltierra said, and this can be simply unbearable. After opening up about her father’s death, Amber Portwood also stormed off crying, telling a producer, “That man stayed alive.” “Told me he was waiting for me to get married and s–t … I said I was gonna get married before my dad died and that never happened.” Matt Baier reminded her that she told him about their engagement; Amber and Matt actually getting married remains a murky prospect. Meanwhile, Farrah was off to South By Southwest to discuss her various business endeavors (she has a surprising amount of them). She also discussed her dating life. After being interviewed about her businesses at SXSW, the Teen Mom firebrand asked a reporter, “Can you hook me up on a date?” Asked what type of guy she might be interested in, the mom of one responded reasonably, saying, “Founder, badass, Forbes 500.” Simon Saran doesn’t qualify?! “I wanna be in L.A. but I love Austin, too,” she told her friend about her future plans, which no doubt involve conquering the world. Asked about her prior plan to move to San Diego with Simon, Farrah responded, “I feel like I’d get more work done in L.A.” Of course. Everyone moves to Los Angeles because it’s a bastion of productivity. She’s really going places, this girl … View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: A Ridiculous, Sometimes X-Rated Life in GIFs
Tiger Woods is not asking for a mulligan. The legendary golfer admits in a new statement that he got arrested early Monday morning in Florida for DUI and he says it’s his responsibility and he’s very sorry. HOWEVER, Woods also insists that alcohol did not play a role in this unfortunate incident. As previously reported, Tiger Woods was arrested around 3 a.m. yesterday on suspicion of driving under the influence and was released on his own recognizance a few hours later. The bust took place in Jupiter, about eight miles from the athlete’s house. Law enforcement sources told TMZ shortly afterward that Woods “driving erratically, all over the road” in his 2015 Mercedes when the police pulled him over. The officer at the scene reportedly smelled alcohol on Tiger’s’ breath and described the star as “arrogant.” Woods then refused to take a breathalyzer test, which prompts an automatic arrest and license suspension in Florida. Such behavior would lead one to presume Woods was rather wasted, but the golfer (it’s true! Tiger Woods was once very good at golf!) says in his statement that he wasn’t drunk at all. “I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” said Woods on Monday evening, adding: “I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. “What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn’t realize the mix of medications affected me so strongly. “I would like to apologize with all my heart to my family, friends, and the fans. I expect more from myself, too. “I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again.” Concluded Woods: “I fully cooperated with law enforcement, and I would like to personally thank the representatives of the Jupiter Police Dept. and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for their professionalism.” We don’t know at this time whether or not any tests were done at the police station to determine Woods’ blood-alcohol content. So we may never have definitive proof of whether he’s telling the truth about his alcohol consumption. But Tiger did undergo back surgery last month. On April 19, to be exact. The fusion in his lower back means he will miss the rest of the 2017 golf season, but Tiger said at the time that such “instant nerve relief” led to him feeling his best in years. It marked Tiger’s fourth back surgery since 2014. “The long-term prognosis is positive,” Woods said just a few weeks ago. “My surgeon and physiotherapist say the operation was successful. It’s just a matter of not screwing up and letting it fuse. I’m walking and doing my exercises, and taking my kids to and from school. “All I can do is take it day by day. There’s no hurry. “But, I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again. “Presently, I’m not looking ahead. I can’t twist for another two and a half to three months. Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me. “I am concentrating on short-term goals.” View Slideshow: 21 Most Memorable Celebrity Mug Shots of All-Time Back in 2009, when the downfall of Tiger Woods as an athlete and a human being began, Woods slammed into a tree while behind the wheel of a car. It happened after then-wife Elin Nordegren learned her husband had been cheating (prolifically!) on her and it was reported at the time that Tiger was under the influence of ambien when the accident occurred. He did not face any criminal charges as a result. In this case, TMZ claims that Woods’ girlfriend, Kristin Smith, learned about the arrest while shopping at a Neiman Marcus store in Dallas. Someone allegedly called her to explain what happened – and then, according to multiple onlookers, “she went crazy” and said “I knew it, I knew it.” Knew that Woods was cheating on her, perhaps? Smith must be assuming that Woods could only have been in his car at 3 a.m. because he was either head to or coming from some kind of booty call. Smith broke down in tears, spent $5,000 at the store and left, TMZ writes. That’s some damn impressive reporting if true. It’s almost as impressive as Tiger’s former mastery of the golf course, which now seems like a lifetime ago. How sad.
