What is Erica Herman’s net worth? Fortune of Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend explored as she takes star golfer to court over NDA
Erica Herman, Tiger Woods' ex-girlfriend, is suing her former partner. The legendary golfer has come under fire for an NDA he allegedly forced her to sign in 2017, which she claims is now null and void thanks to Woods' alleged sexual assault.
Erica Herman's estimated net worth is about $3 million, according to New Sun Zip. Before dating Woods, she was a restaurant manager and entrepreneur. Her life changed when she began dating Woods and it appears that it will change once again.
Since Herman is suing Woods and accusing him of sexual assault, it is reasonable to think that her net worth could change. Tiger Woods' net worth is currently over $1 billion, so she may be seeing a bit of that come her way depending on the exact type of lawsuit and the decision made on it.
The lawsuit focuses on the NDA Woods made Herman sign in 2017, when they began dating. Herman alleges that it is now null and void since he sexually assaulted her.
She cited the Speak Out Act, which says:
“Prohibits the judicial enforceability of a nondisclosure clause or nondisparagement clause agreed to before a dispute arises involving sexual assault or sexual harassment in violation of federal, tribal, or state law."
If Woods did assault her, and she will have to prove that he did, then the NDA cannot be enforced.
Understandably, Woods, like many other celebrities, has people sign NDAs, but if he did what she is alleging, then Herman needs to be legally allowed to speak out about it.
Woods' image could be damaged by this allegation, but regardless of whether or not she proves it in court, she succeeded in telling the public what she allegedly experienced just by filing the lawsuit.
According to US magazine, the lawsuit states that Herman is hesitant to detail anything yet due to the NDA, but she is suing nonetheless:
“Because of the aggressive use of the Woods NDA against her by the Defendant and the trust under his control, the Plaintiff 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. There is therefore an active dispute between Plaintiff and Defendant for which the Plaintiff needs a clarifying declaration from the court.”
Soon, Herman and Woods will appear in court and hash this out. It remains to be seen what type of punishment may be handed down if Herman wins, other than the removal of the NDA.
Were Erica Herman and Tiger Woods ever married?
Erica Herman and Tiger Woods were together for almost six years. It's unclear exactly when they broke up, but the relationship is certainly over now.
They were not married despite spending so long together. Woods has been divorced before, so he opted not to tie the knot this time. The two probably would have divorced, which can be very messy.
Woods and Herman's relationship may be over, but the saga is anything but.
