“After protracted and respectful negotiations, I’m pleased to announce that we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution,” Buzbee wrote. “All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily, and the matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice.”
Terms of the settlement have not been made public. Doe was initiall seeking $50 million.
Sharpe staunchly denied the allegations made by Doe in April in which she claimed he sexually assaulted and abused her as part of their years-long relationship.
The Super Bowl winner stepped away from his ESPN duties — notably absent on the “First Take” panel alongside Stephen A. Smith — in April while the legal process played out.
