A new court filing shows that Tiger Woods has been accused of sexual harassment by his ex-girlfriend, Erica Herman.

Herman signed a non-disclosure agreement in 2017, but she says it should be rendered invalid due to her being the subject of sexual misconduct by the 15-time major winner.

Herman says Woods pursued a sexual relationship with her while she was a waitress at his restaurant in Jupiter, Fla. Herman says Woods made her sign the NDA, or else she would not have kept her job.

"Mr. Woods was Ms. Herman’s boss,’’ Herman's attorney, Benjamin Hobas wrote in the filing, via Sports Illustrated. "On Mr. Woods’ own portrayal of events, he imposed an NDA on her as a condition to keep her job when she began having a sexual relationship with him. A boss imposing different work conditions on his employee because of their sexual relationship is sexual harassment."

"Tiger Woods, the internationally renowned athlete and one of the most powerful figures in global sports, decided to pursue a sexual relationship with his employee, then – according to him – forced her to sign an NDA about it or else be fired from her job," Hobas added.

Herman and Woods have been in an ongoing legal battle for several months since she filed a lawsuit against a trust set up for his residence in October. Herman says that she had a verbal agreement to live at the estate for five years but was kicked and locked out of the home after an apparent plan by Woods.
