Jana Kramer offered Rachel Uchitel a sincere apology on the January 17 episode of her podcast Whine Down. The former One Tree Hill star, 37, got very candid on the latest installment of her podcast with husband Michael Caussin, opening up about how she felt about Tiger Woods‘ former lover, 45, before the two sat down to chat. “I hate her, honestly,” Jana said. “That’s a really mean thing to say. I don’t know her. She’s the face of someone else I hate. That’s where I feel bad, I don’t know her story.”
The singer has previously discussed how her marriage to Michael has endured infidelity. The couple, who’ve been married since 2015, have since mended their bond, penning the book The Good Fight: Wanting to Leave, Choosing to Stay, and the Powerful Practice for Loving Faithfully about the work they put into their relationship. But for Jana, she still held her reservations prior to speaking to Rachel, who appears in the two-part HBO documentary Tiger, about the golfer’s very public personal struggles.
After hearing Rachel be so candid, Jana expressed her regret for making such hurtful statements. “You have a story and everyone has their story, so I apologize for just straight up being, like, ‘No I hate her. She cheated, she’s who cheated probably with my husband,'” Jana told Rachel. “So I really am so sorry for just not getting to know your story before I passed judgment. Because I’m sure you’ve gotten that judgment from a lot of people.”
