Herman filed two lawsuits against Woods. The first lawsuit, filed last fall, seeks $30 million in damages. The second, filed in March, was done in an attempt to be released from that nondisclosure agreement. Herman suggested allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment, but didn’t offer public details on those charges. Under new federal rules, those allegations could have voided an NDA.
In her decision, Metzger said Herman had not provided “factual specificity for any claim relating to sexual assault or sexual harassment.”
Woods filed a motion to dismiss Herman’s lawsuit last week, and provided emails that allegedly showed Herman discussing the NDA in 2017. Herman allegedly wrote in those emails to Woods’ chief financial officer that she doesn’t “have any problems with what’s in the [NDA] because I wouldn’t go public or use anything I know to hurt him or the kids.”
Now, per terms of that NDA, their dispute will be settled through private arbitration.
