Tiger Woods's ex-girlfriend, Erica Herman, has dropped her $30 million lawsuit alleging unfair eviction from the home they once shared. The dismissal comes as she appeals a judge's ruling that she must adhere to a non-disclosure agreement she signed with Woods in 2017. Herman claimed she was tricked into leaving the mansion after their breakup, contrary to an oral agreement allowing her to live there for another six years. Woods denied the allegations of sexual harassment and unlawful eviction, while his attorneys referred to Herman as a "jilted ex-girlfriend" seeking public litigation instead of confidential arbitration.
A judge in Florida has ruled that Tiger Woods' ex-girlfriend, Erica Herman, must abide by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) she was seeking to have nullified. The case is part of a wider dispute between the pair related to a tenancy disagreement. Ms Herman is suing Mr Woods and the home trust he owns for $30m (£25m). Wednesday's ruling means that the $30m case will now be heard in private out-of-court arbitration - out of the public eye.
Tiger Woods' ex-girlfriend Erica Herman must abide by a nondisclosure agreement she purportedly signed and resolve her lawsuits seeking millions from the golf superstar through private arbitration behind closed doors, a Florida judge ruled late Wednesday. Herman wanted to quash the 2017 agreement by saying Woods had committed sexual harassment against her. Circuit Judge Elizabeth Metzger called Herman's allegations "vague and threadbare" in an 11-page opinion sending the case to arbitration.
Tiger Woods' ex-girlfriend, Erica Herman, failed to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) and sue Woods for $30 million in public court. The judge ruled that Herman's attempt to claim sexual harassment against Woods was vague and lacked factual specificity. The NDA signed by both parties requires disputes to be settled in private, and Herman may only continue to pursue claims against Woods through private arbitration. Herman also claimed unlawful eviction in a separate $30 million lawsuit filed against Woods' trust, which took ownership of his $57 million mansion in 2017.
A Florida judge has ruled against Erica Herman's attempt to nullify a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that would require her to arbitrate complaints she has filed against Tiger Woods. Herman claimed that the golfer pursued a sexual relationship with her while she worked for him and then forced her to sign an NDA or be fired from her job. The ruling allows the arbitration process to move forward privately, within the terms of the agreement.

However, the judge granted Woods’s requests to stay Herman’s claims and compel arbitration, saying the claims had been “implausibly pled.”

A judge in Florida expressed skepticism about Erica Herman's claims to nullify a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that stipulates their legal disputes be adjudicated by a private arbitrator. Herman had filed a $30 million suit against Woods’ trust last October for alleged sexual harassment. She has since claimed that Woods imposed the NDA on her while she was working at his restaurant in Jupiter, Fla. The judge asked Herman’s attorney what choice she had other than to quash the lawsuit and determine that it had to be resolved in arbitration, as the NDA had required. The judge said she would issue a decision on the matter in writing, but did not specify a date.
