Erica Herman filed a dismissal of the lawsuit
on June 29, pending the result of her appeal of a judge's
decision that she must abide by a 2017 non-disclosure agreement
she signed with Woods.
Herman originally filed the suit against the 15-time major
winner's estate in October 2022, alleging Woods violated the
landlord tenant act by tricking her into vacating his mansion in
Jupiter Island in Florida.
A hearing in the case had been scheduled for August, but it has
since been canceled due to her dismissal.
"The Plaintiff, ERICA HERMAN, by and through her undersigned
counsel, hereby dismisses without prejudice her Complaint, filed
on October 26, 2022, pending resolution of the appeal in Herman
v. Woods and determination of whether her claims are subject to
arbitration," read a court document filed on June 29, per the
Post.
Herman, who was working at Woods' restaurant when they began
dating in 2017, had argued that his pursuit of a sexual
relationship while he was her boss constituted sexual harassment
-- a circumstance she argued should release her from her NDA
commitments.
In May, a Florida judge rejected Herman's attempt to dismiss the
NDA and ordered the former couple to settle the lawsuit through
arbitration. The judge said her claims of sexual harassment were
not supported by documents requested by the circuit court.
Herman has appealed that decision and the case is still pending,
according to the Post.
