Kobe Bryant and the woman who accused him of raping her at a Colorado resort reached a settlement Wednesday when lawyers representing both asked that her civil lawsuit against the NBA star be dismissed.
In a joint request, lawyers for both sides asked U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning it can not be filed again.
The request in U.S. District Court in Denver was signed by Hal Haddon, representing Bryant, and Lin Wood, the Atlanta-based attorney representing the woman.
Although no papers were filed indicating a monetary settlement, most lawyers believe Bryant probably paid the woman a substantial sum of money.
In a news release, the lawyers simply said the lawsuit "has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties. The parties and their attorneys have agreed that no further comments about the matter can or will be made
Please, please, please do not resurrect that horrible Kobe Bryant dispute. Don't you remember how mind numbing it was the first time? Let's not relive it just to prove a point.
PLEASE!
