Tiger Woods Allegedly Used Lawyer to End Relationship with Ex-Girlfriend

Erica Herman, Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend, sent an email in August 2017 stating that her only concern about signing a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) was losing her job in Woods’ restaurant if the relationship ended and having control of her future in the business.

Herman filed a lawsuit against Woods, alleging that he began their sexual relationship when she was his employee and threatened to fire her if she didn’t sign the NDA that she now wants voided.

Woods’ attorneys argued that the NDA requires all disputes to be settled privately by an arbitrator, not in court.

Herman argues that the NDA is unenforceable under a new federal law that says such contracts can be voided when sexual abuse or sexual harassment occurred.

She also filed an unlawful eviction lawsuit against the trust that owns Woods’ mansion for US$30 million.

Woods’ attorney denies that the 47-year-old Woods ever sexually assaulted or harassed Herman. The case will be heard on Tuesday, but it is unknown if Woods will attend due to his ankle surgery last month.
