'Tawdry' texts from Woods out

Los Angeles - A former porn star and alleged mistress of Tiger Woods released a series of sexually explicit text messages on Thursday she says are from the superstar golfer.

Veronica Siwik-Daniels, known in the American porn industry as Joslyn James, released messages on her website that portray Woods as someone who fantasizes about having violent sex with submissive women.

"I would like Tiger to one day tell the truth, the whole truth," she told New York Daily News. "We will see if that happens."

Her release of more than 100 messages comes just two days after Woods announced he was returning to competition to play in the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, ending a four-month self-imposed exile from the sport.

"I want to treat you rough," Woods allegedly wrote to the 32-year-old porn actress in August last year. "Throw you around, spank and slap you."

Woods could not immediately be reached for comment.

Daniels, who says she pursued a three-year affair with Woods, is one of the golfers' many alleged mistresses.

"I just wanted the public to know and the truth to be out there for me to have people see what I was being told and not just judge me for being with a married guy," she said.

Daniels says she has more than 1 000 texts from Woods and would be posting more in the days to come.

She said they met while Daniels was working at a Las Vegas nightclub and carried on an affair until late 2009.

At one point, the sender of the texts got mad at Daniels after their relationship came close to being discovered.

"Don't (expletive) talk to me," the text said. "You almost just ruined my whole life. If my agent and these guys would have seen you there."
