March 10, (THEWILL) – Erica Herman, the ex-lover of Tiger Woods, has sued the golf legend over a non-disclosure agreement she claimed she was forced to sign.
Herman and Woods started dating in August 2017. They, however, ended the relationship after six years.
They became an item after Woods ended his relationship with Lindsey Vonn, an American former World Cup alpine ski racer and his very public marriage and divorce from Elin Nordegren.
Erica now claims she is now entitled to $30 million in compensation following their split.
In court documents, Woods was accused of unlawfully locking Herman out of their shared Florida home with Erica claiming the NDA should be voided when there is evidence of assault or harassment.
She cited the Speak Out Act which states: “an NDA is not enforceable if agreed to before a dispute involving sexual assault or sexual harassment.”
She claimed she is being forced to comply with the agreement by a private trust run by Woods.
Erica, who previously managed Jupiter, Woods’ restaurant, also accused him of locking her out of his mansion in Florida.
The 38-year-old alleged that Woods tricked her into packing her bag for a short vacation only to be told that she had been kicked out when she arrived at the airport.
Herman claimed they had an oral agreement that meant she could live at the mansion for eleven years, of which she had five years remaining when they ended their romance.
In the legal filings, Herman used the word ‘trickery’, which she said violates the oral tenancy agreement and Florida law.
