The reasons Tiger Woods is accused of sexual harassment
Tiger Woods' reps weren't able to respond to any media outlet after this development was presented by the press. We will likely have a response within the next 48 hours that can offer clarity on Woods' legal team and their position. In a nutshell, Herman's lawyers helped her find the loophole she wanted by giving her the idea to accuse him of sexual harassment when Woods was still her boss. Court documents that were obtained by the folks at the Sports Illustrated, Herman is officially accusing Tiger Woods of sexual harassment. Attorney Benjamin Hobas wrote the following in the court filing: "Mr. Woods was Ms. Herman's boss. A boss imposing different work conditions on his employee because of their sexual relationship is sexual harassment."
Also, Hobas detailed Tiger Woods' tactics used to break up with Herman, which he considered brutal. He writes: "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. And, when he became disgruntled with their sexual relationship, he tricked her into leaving her home, locked her out, took her cash, pets, and personal possessions, and tried to strong-arm her into signing a different NDA.
