She clarified that she had never accused him of sexual harassment, despite previous statements to the contrary by her lawyer. Herman’s legal representative submitted a brief notification in a state court recently, discontinuing her $30 million lawsuit against the trust responsible for Woods’ mansion. This dismissal is definitive, preventing any future reassertion of the claim. Herman had alleged that Woods had promised her residency in the expansive 30,000-square-foot beachfront property until 2026 but evicted her abruptly last year. Erica Herman emphasized through her lawyer, Benjamin Hodas, that she has never been a victim of sexual harassment or abuse by Tiger Woods or anyone associated with him. Moreover, she asserts that she never made such allegations. Hodas had previously alleged multiple times that Woods had sexually harassed his client. Another lawsuit filed against Woods was dismissed by a judge in May, and an appeal regarding this decision was also withdrawn this week. There is no indication of any settlement in the court records for either case, although such agreements could have been made privately. Hodas was unavailable for comment on these developments, and Woods’ lawyer, J.B. Murray, also declined to comment. Herman and Woods were in a relationship from 2015 until October 2022, with Herman moving into Woods’ $54 million mansion near Palm Beach in 2016. She had been managing Woods’ restaurant in Palm Beach County before and during their relationship. In 2017, she signed a nondisclosure agreement prohibiting her from publicly discussing their relationship and mandating private arbitration for any legal disputes with Woods. Hodas claimed in court that Herman didn’t recall signing the nondisclosure agreement and suggested she might have been coerced, believing she would lose her job otherwise. Hodas also argued that the nondisclosure agreement was invalid under a new federal law, which allows such contracts to be voided in cases of sexual abuse or harassment. He claimed that Woods’ purported threat of termination constituted harassment. Circuit Judge Elizabeth Metzger, however, dismissed Herman’s attempt to invalidate the nondisclosure agreement, finding her allegations insubstantial and vague. Forbes Magazine estimates Woods’ net worth at $1.1 billion. In 2017, he transferred the ownership of his mansion to the Jupiter Island Irrevocable Homestead Trust, a trust he established for himself and his two children.
