Erica Herman, Tiger Woods' ex ex-girlfriend, sues him in larger domestic dispute over home, money
A domestic dispute between Tiger Woods and his former girlfriend has spilled into court in Florida after he broke up with her in October and allegedly had her locked out of the seaside mansion they shared on the Treasure Coast, according to court records obtained by USA TODAY Sports.
The former girlfriend, Erica Herman, responded by filing a lawsuit, not against the golf legend but against a homestead trust he controls in Hobe Sound, Florida. Now she is claiming damages of more than $30 million and said the trust and its agents misappropriated $40,000 cash that belonged to her, making “scurrilous and defamatory allegations how she obtained the money.”
Her lawsuit stated she had an “oral tenancy agreement” to remain at the home for five more years after being in effect for six years before the breakup.
“The duties that were performed by, and expected of, Plaintiff were extensive and of an extraordinary nature in light of the overall circumstances and environment in which she lived,” her lawsuit stated.
In a separate complaint this week, she also sued Wood and asked the court to release her from her non-disclosure agreement with Woods from 2017. She argued it is not enforceable under the federal Speak Out Act, which prohibits the judicial enforceability of such agreements in disputes involving sexual assault or harassment.
Both suits are intertwined as attorneys for Woods’ trust try to enforce the NDA and push the dispute out of public court and into private arbitration.
The first lawsuit was filed against the trust in October but was not previously reported until Wednesday
Lawsuit against the trust
“Plaintiff has continually demanded to be allowed back into her home, but Defendant's agents have refused,” said Herman's lawsuit against the trust.
The suit against the trust said she was forced out by the “trickery” of agents of the trust, who convinced her to pack a suitcase for a short vacation. When she arrived at the airport, they told her she had been locked out of her residence, in violation of the oral tenancy agreement and in violation of Florida law, the suit states.
The trust has responded to that lawsuit by asking the court to compel confidential arbitration for the dispute. It said the NDA between Woods and Herman requires arbitration for such disputes and that she sued the trust instead of Woods to avoid this requirement and "gain leverage by litigating her disputes with Mr. Woods in a public forum."
