Tiger Woods’ lawyers dismissed the notion that Erica Herman’s claims constitute a "sexual assault dispute" or a "sexual harassment dispute" amid her lawsuit against the Jupiter Island Irrevocable Trust.

According to new court documents filed Monday in Florida, Woods’ lawyers say that Herman did not allege any sexual harassment or assault claims against the legendary golfer and say the "bare reference to the statute, without any allegations to support its application to the facts of this case, is insufficient to relieve Ms. Herman from her contractual obligation to arbitrate."

Woods’ lawyers called Herman’s case against the golfer "a transparent abuse of the judicial process that undermines the purpose of the federal statute and those whom the statute seeks to protect."

Furthermore, the lawyers described Herman as a "jilted ex-girlfriend."

Herman cited the Speak Out Act as a reason to get out from under the nondisclosure agreement (NDA) she says she was forced to sign working as a restaurant manager for Woods’ eatery in Florida. She asked the court to review the NDA for clarity on what she can say. There were no claims of sexual assault made in either lawsuit.
