Love Child Claim A Secret Plot To Blackmail Tiger Woods, Says Porn Star's Mom

Porn star and escort Devon James, aka Melinda Brinling-Caso, claimed Tiger Woods fathered her secret love child -- but her mother doesn't believe a word of it.
Sandra Brinling said her daughter is a “pathological liar” who lost custody of the child and made up the extortion plot because she owes tens of thousands of dollars in child support.
"There is absolutely know way that it is Tiger Woods son," Brinling, who has custody of the nine-year-old, told RadarOnline.com.
"My daughter is nothing but a pathological liar... all she is trying to do is to get Tiger Woods to pay her some money to shut her up."
When asked if James was trying to blackmail the philandering golf star, Brinling said adamantly: "Absolutely."
As RadarOnline.com revealed, James, 29, has claimed she fell pregnant in 2000 and gave birth to Tiger's son in early 2001 - before he and Elin Nordegren were married.
RadarOnline.com has seen photographs of the purported love child, who bears a striking resemblance to Tiger.
Brinling agreed: "You're right absolutely right, I said that to my husband if you looked at the boy and then looked at Tiger... they look the same."
However, she said the boy's father was a mixed race: Puerto Rican and black.
James has claimed to have had a two-and-a-half year affair with the superstar when he paid her and another woman $2,000 each for a "two-girl party."
The porn actress said she slept with Tiger once a month during the golf great's admitted reign of adultery.
But like the secret love child charge, Brinling said she doubted the affair even happened.
“There was no relationship with Tiger Woods," her mother said.
"I would do anything I possibly could to put Tiger in front of me and tell him the truth.
“I’d apologize to him that I'm so sorry my daughter is doing this to him.
“This is so unfair, this is not true... somehow he has got to get the word, ‘Do not to pay those people a damn penny’ because it's just nothing but a lie.”
