 Rachel Uchitel Says She’s A Love Addict

Remember Rachel Uchitel? She was the first woman named as a mistress in the Tiger Woods scandal. Then David Boreanaz. Since her reported $10 million settlement from the golf pro, she’s participated in Dr. Drew’s ‘Celebrity Rehab‘ show, and now she’s talking publicly about her problem: she’s a love addict.

“It is the most common addiction in the world, yet it is also the addiction most commonly pushed under the rug because people don’t believe it exists,” Uchitel told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive new interview.

“People think it is a moral issue if somebody falls in love, all over the place. It is not, it is a disease and disorder; it is where you feel like you have a hole in your heart and you are waiting for a knight in shining armor to come and save you.

“But it is not an excuse for anyone’s behavior. You get stuck in relationships that are not right for you; you basically put a mask over somebody’s head and pretend they’re somebody who they’re not. In the end, you get disappointed when they don’t react the way you want them to.”
