According to an article on Gawker, reality show star Rachel Uchitel may sue over a media “misquote” making it seem as though she said she’s “almost happy” her fiance died on September 11.
Uchitel, whose fame ignited after an image of her dispair was distributed worldwide, has made tabloid headlines in recent years. Below, see the iconic AP photograph from 2001 when Uchitel publicly mourned the loss of her then-fiance James Andrew O’Grady.
Since 9/11, Uchitel has worked to move on and to find the positive side of her situation. She told the New York Post’s Page Six that, a decade later, she thinks she’s come a long way. According to Page Six (in comments that are being disputed), she allegedly said:
“I’m almost happy it ended the way it did because I’ve learned so many lessons from him. It would have been tragic if we got into fights and then divorced.”
Uchitel hasn‘t been married or engaged since O’Grady’s death. She admitted to being one of Tiger Wood’s “alpha mistresses” and has been a member of Dr. Drew’s “Celebrity Rehab.” Her life would‘ve been much different if she’d married O’Grady, she purportedly told the Post.
“I would be a fat housewife with three kids in Sands Point, LI,” she said.
Uchitel responded Tuesday on Twitter to the NY Post’s Page Six article, saying her comments were framed poorly.
“The NY Post Article today is COMPLETELY out of context and its horrifying how MEAN some media chooses to be to me even relating to 9/11. The NY Post ‘journalists’ are abusing the power they have by molding words and shaping how readers perceive people. This should be stopped,” she posted.
Now Uchitel is planning to sue Page Six for “misquoting” her.
In addition, The Daily Mail reports Uchitel told TMZ, “I would have loved nothing more than to be Andy’s housewife.”
During an interview with The Daily Mail last year, Uchitel said she and Mr O’Grady “were madly in love and I was the happiest girl in the world…. In Andy I had found my rock, a stable male figure that I’d never had… then 9/11 happened.”
She said she left for work early on that morning and didn’t kiss him goodbye because she didn’t want to mess up her lipstick.
“It’s something that haunts me,” she said.
Years later, Uchitel returned to Ground Zero as part of Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab television show. She speaks with others who’ve lost their loved ones in this video clip:

Page Six says she plans to move to San Francisco with her boyfriend, Matt Hahn, and that the couple is talking about children.
“I never wanted them … but I know how much I love my dogs, and I think I’d make a good mother to my own kids,” she said.
Here‘s part of Uchitel’s interview with Page Six:
Some are asking that the public not judge Uchitel too harshly. Andrew O‘Grady’s father, James, told The Daily Mail that Uchitel is not the same person she was when his son was engaged to her. “Maybe 9/11 had an impact on her and this is how she’s dealing with that,” he said.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 3:31pmAmen. Who in their right mind makes a decision to have children based on their affinity for their house pets? Not to mention that she obviously has no intention of marrying her shack-up stud, just create children with him. What a disgusting person.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 6:18pmYou noticed that about the pictures, too? I can see how tragedy can change a person, as I’ve often said I would trade my experiences for an easier life, but I’m not a celebrity because of them. Did her celebrity status start with a grief picture? That is truly sad.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 11:53amKJV John 8: 4-11
4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 4:54pmYou‘ve obviously an expert on this and I’m sure you’ve put much work in your thesis. Would it be asking too much to share your findings or have you already published them?
I’m just asking because it would be unusual everyone in a large group of people to act the same way. With your evidence you should be able to prove they got together in advance and planned to kill off their loved ones.
Please share.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 11:37amI’m sorry for Mr. O‘Grady’s loss, however this does not excuse this woman’s behavior one iota ! You either have morals, or you don’t. Just because your boyfriend died or you had a bad childhood does not give you carte blanche to be an adultress or murderer ! They’re lost !
