Tiger Woods Accused of Sexual Harassment In Court Filing By Ex-Girlfriend Erica Herman
Tiger Woods is the subject of a sexual harassment allegation in a new court filing by ex-girlfriend Erica Herman.
The accusation stems from an NDA that Herman signed in 2017 during their relationship.
Herman alleges that she had to sign the NDA, or lose her job at Woods' restaurant in Jupiter, Florida.
"Mr. Woods was Ms. Herman’s boss,’’ her attorney, Benjamin Hobas wrote in a court filing. "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."
It continues, "Tiger Woods, the internationally renowned athlete and one of the most powerful figures in global sports, decided to pursue a sexual relationship with his employee, then – according to him – forced her to sign an NDA about it or else be fired from her job."

Serious Allegations Against Tiger Woods
It's previously been reported that Herman accused Woods of tricking her into leaving the house they shared as a couple.
Allegedly, Woods told Herman to pack for a trip to the Bahamas before leaving her at the airport to speak to his lawyers.
This latest filing, though, takes that treatment to a new level.
Woods is now accused of essentially an inappropriate workplace relationship, rising to the point of sexual harassment.
The New York Post reached out to reps for Tiger Woods for comment, but didn't hear back.
Herman is suing the 15-time major winner for $30 million.
