Erica Herman has filed two lawsuits against former partner Tiger Woods and his Trust in the wake of their split last October. The former partner of the golf icon is seeking both financial compensation and a release from a nondisclosure agreement signer by her at the beginning of their relationship. Herman is seeking release from the NDA on account of a new provision – known informally as the Speak Out Act. Passed by Congress in November 2022 and signed into law by President Biden in December, the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 is designed to protect the rights of victims of sexual harassment or sexual assault. In other words, an NDA can potentially be invalidated based on accusations of sexual harassment or assault.
