Tiger Woods and his ex-girlfriend Erica Herman are battling it out in court after Woods dumped and kicked her out of his mansion. Now, Erica is accusing him of sexual assault in the lawsuit and there is another update about the drama concerning an NDA Erica signed.
According to the Daily Mail, Erica before signing an NDA expressed concerns of being left broken-hearted and jobless;
Tiger Woods’s ex-girlfriend Erica Herman expressed concerns about being left ‘heartbroken and jobless’ in emails from 2017 provided by the golfing icon’s lawyers ahead of the hearing in her lawsuit against him.
Herman, 38, who dated Woods, 47, for five years, is suing him over an NDA she claims she is being wrongfully enforced on her, citing the Speak Out Act and alleging sexual harassment.
In a court document filed by Herman’s attorney, Benjamin Hobas, last week, she alleged that the 15-time major winner pursued a sexual relationship with her while she was his employee at his South Florida restaurant and forced her to either sign a non-disclosure agreement or be fired from her job.
Woods’s lawyers retaliated Monday by filing a motion to compel arbitration in Martin County, Florida, submitting new court documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
The documents include a full copy of the unredacted NDA and alleged email communications between Herman and the golfer’s team discussing the implications of her job.
Herman expressed concern over being left jobless should her relationship with Woods come to an end in an email chain from August 2017.
‘My only concern is if by chance TW does something that brings our relationship to an end, do I automatically loose [sic] my job?’ she wrote in an email to Chris Hubman, CFO of TGR Ventures.
‘I don’t have any problems with what’s in the document because I wouldn’t go public or use anything I know to hurt him or the kids but with my whole life in his hands now I would want to have some kind of control over my future in the business.
‘If something happened 5-10 years down the road I don’t want to be in my 40’s heartbroken and jobless. Thoughts?’
Hubman assured her in his response that her employment at Woods’s restaurant, The Woods Jupiter (TWJ), and her personal relationship with the PGA Tour star were ‘two separate items’ and the NDA didn’t ‘address the terms of your TWJ employment.’
The documents show Herman indicating she understood before allegedly sending Hubman a signed copy of the NDA, dated August 9, 2017.
Woods also claims that he can verify that the signature on the NDA is Herman’s as he became ‘familiar with her signature and handwriting’ over the course of their relationship.
By allegedly signing the document, Herman agreed not to disclose private information, including communications, photos, videos, health, medical and sexual matters, to anyone, including her friends and family.
Herman now wants the court to determine that the NDA is invalid or unforeseeable for reasons.
His latest filing shows that the attached signed copy of the alleged NDA seemingly supports his argument.
The document states: ‘Each of Us understands, acknowledges and agrees that by agreeing to arbitration, We are giving up any rights We may have to a trial by judge or jury with regard to the matters which are required to be submitted to mandatory binding Arbitration.
‘We also understand, acknowledge and agree that there is no right to an appeal or a review of an Arbitrator’s award as there would be a right of appeal or review of a judge or jury’s decision.’
In Herman’s filing on Friday, her attorney noted that Woods did not try to take their breakup dispute to arbitration when he kicked her out of his house in October 2022.
‘Instead, he called a California attorney — who promotes himself as “Ray Donovan with a pen” — to unceremoniously eject Ms. Herman from the house through trickery and break up with her for him,’ said the document.
Ray Donovan is a television character, who is a professional ‘fixer’ for the rich and famous.
