Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend Erica Herman has accused the golf legend of tricking her into leaving his Florida mansion by pretending he’d booked her a “short holiday” – only to lock her out once she got to the airport.
Court papers state that people working for Woods convinced Herman to “pack a suitcase for a short vacation and, when she arrived at the airport, they told her she had been locked out of her residence, in violation of the oral tenancy agreement and in violation of Florida law.”
Herman says that Woods paid for a “hotel room and certain expenses for a short period of time” – and “frightened her away from returning” to the property. His employees then removed her personal belongings from the home and took $40,000 in cash before making “scurrilous and defamatory allegations about how she obtained the money,” reports the NY Post.
In the landlord filing, Herman claimed the couple had an “oral agreement” that ensured she could live at the mansion for a total of 11 years – which sounds like a weird agreement to have. I mean, who the hell moves in with their girlfriend and says “you can live here for 11 years no matter what happens with our relationship.”
She claims she still had five years remaining when Woods called it quits on their relationship. But now, she’ll settle for $30 million in compensation.
It’s just funny to think of a billionaire like Tiger Woods coming up with this plan to get his clingy ex-girlfriend out of the house because she outright refused to leave. The guy literally tricked her into believing she was going on a luxury holiday break, only to lock her out of his mansion and tell her to never come back. Just imagine the insane comedown of that pre-holiday excitement when you get to the airport with your luggage and are told that you’re not actually going anywhere and what’s more you’ve been booted out the place you called home.
Well anyway, I’m sure Tiger Woods’ lawyers will fight this case tooth and nail even if $30M is basically pocket change to him. Has to be tough for Erica Herman though – she became so accustomed to this billionaire lifestyle that it’s gotta be hard to accept that it’s over. And in such ruthless fashion, too. That’s Tiger Woods for you.
