JUPITER ISLAND, FLORIDA: Tiger Woods' ex-girlfriend, Erica Herman, is seeking financial compensation in court as she was left red-faced after how the ace golfer broke-up with her. Sources reportedly said, “Erica feels humiliated by her experience with Tiger and she wants to collect for her troubles."
According to Radar Online, Woods and Herman called it quits in 2022 following which she sued him for $30M, asserting that he promised her that she could reside in his Florida estate for a specific period of time.

‘Their sexual relationship is sexual harassment’
Herman said that after things ended between them, Woods' crew deceived her into leaving the home before changing the locks without her knowledge. She said that this was a violation of his earlier oral promise. She stated that the agreement had five years remaining.
Herman also wanted a copy of an NDA she purportedly signed in 2017 that forbid her from publicly discussing Woods or their relationship. She met him while working as a manager at his restaurant in Florida.
Herman claimed Woods committed sexual harassment. "Mr. Woods was Ms. Herman’s boss. On Mr. Woods’ own portrayal of events, he imposed an NDA on her as a condition to keep her job when she began having a sexual relationship with him. A boss imposing different work conditions on his employee because of their sexual relationship is sexual harassment," her lawyer alleged.
‘Utterly meritless’
Woods has denied all of Herman's allegations. He denied ever telling Herman she could live in his home even if they split. "Ms. Herman's position is utterly meritless," his attorney said.
"She has never asserted any claims for sexual assault or sexual harassment against Mr. Woods, does not do so in this case, and never can assert such claims truthfully," his attorney had stated earlier.
Calling Herman a "jilted ex-girlfriend," Woods said she "wants to publicly litigate specious claims in court." The issue at hand between the two was whether the lawsuit would be tried in a public courtroom or through private arbitration. A court decided in Woods' favor earlier this week and ordered that the matter be taken out of the public spotlight.
