Despite Having Millionaire’s Backing, Tiger Woods Fails To Catch a Break, Thanks to Ex-GF Erica Herman’s Latest Masterstroke
In a year that is full of profitable deals for Tiger Woods, he made another successful endeavor just days ago when he collaborated with popstar Justin Timberlake for their new T-Squared Social Club, which is a fusion of a sports bar and an indoor golf experience in New York.
But the celebration of this merger is now mitigated by a concerning matter for Woods which has erupted from his past. His ex-girlfriend Erica Herman, who is involved in a legal battle with the golfer, has made yet another massive strike on him in the case.
Tiger Woods might be on a self-imposed sabbatical but his life is constantly in motion filled with planned and unplanned action. His year has been full of off-course action which saw him making many successful deals. The latest is collaborating with Timberlake for T-Squared Social Club which is located on East 42nd Street, between the iconic New York Public Library and Grand Central Terminal. But as Woods’ ex-girlfriend’s latest claims surface, his worries increase.
His ex Erica Herman has recently filed a 53-page brief in a Florida state appeals court with the hopes of reviving her former public lawsuit against Woods. She has taken this step after her earlier plea was thrown out by a judge in May. Woods dated Herman who is a former employee at one of his Florida-based restaurants.
In the brief, Herman’s attorney has claimed that she is a victim of sexual harassment at the hands of Woods and thus should not be forced to seek private arbitration. Her lawyer, Benjamin Hodas has cited a recently implemented federal law which in cases of sexual assault invalidates non-disclosure agreements (NDA) and arbitration.
Hodas quoted from the brief: “Congress recently passed the Ending Forced Arbitration Of Sexual Assault And Sexual Harassment Act of 2021, precisely to prevent a plaintiff like Ms. Herman from being forced into arbitration by a former boss and sexual partner related to her employment and sexual relationship.”
