Erica Herman alleged that Woods, 47, and his agents unlawfully locked her out of their shared Florida home and she has not been allowed her to return since.
She had an “oral tenancy agreement” that gave her the right to reside in the Hobe Sound, Fla., estate for a “certain duration of time.” The agreement was in place for six years - the duration of her relationship with Woods.
Part of the deal was that the residence would be “fully paid” by Woods’ Trust.
Herman was dubiously forced out of the home via “trickery.”
Woods’ agents allegedly convinced her to pack a suitcase for a short vacation and “when she arrived at the airport, they told her she had been locked out of her residence.” “They then informed her she was not allowed to return to her residence,”
Woods’ agents attempted to “justify their illegal conduct” by paying her for a hotel room and certain expenses for a short period of time. The trust allegedly misappropriated an excess of $40,000 in cash that belonged to her.
Woods filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
Herman is not a “tenant” according to the Residential Landlord Tenant Act.
Herman filed a lawsuit against the wrong party, she sued the trust and not the trustee, which is Woods.
Tiger Woods’ ex Erica Herman asks to nullify NDA over sexual assault clause https://t.co/zgwiLvBB56 pic.twitter.com/WhbdnnXKES

Erica Herman is seeking to nullify an NDA Woods made her sign when they were still dating.
She cited two federal laws that allow NDAs to become null and void if sexual harassment and sexual assault claims arise. Herman has not publicly accused Woods of sexual assault or harassment as of yet.
Herman is unsure whether Woods’ NDA is “valid or enforceable,” so she is seeking clarity from the court.
If the NDA can indeed be enforced, she wants to know whether she still has a right to speak out on a bevy of issues, including her “own experiences,” the “experiences of her family members,” information learned by people “not covered” by the NDA and whether she can respond to statements Wood has “made or published about her.”
She is “unsure whether she may disclose,” among other things, “facts giving rise to various legal claims she believes she has.” “She is also currently unsure what other information about her own life she may discuss or with whom,”
