*Russell Simmons has closed the chapter on one of his sexual assault claims after the case against the accuser was dismissed the accuser.
Jennifer Jarosik alleged Simmons raped her when she visited his Los Angeles home in August 2016 for a meeting about a documentary she was making. She sued him for $5 million.
Simmons called the allegation “absolutely untrue,” and in his legal response submitted friendly text messages he said Jarosik had later sent him.
Wednesday’s federal court filing says the two sides have agreed that the suit, filed in January, will be dismissed without prejudice, which means that Jarosik cannot refile her allegations in court. It says both will bear their own attorneys’ fees, but gives no other details on whether a settlement was reached, reports USA Today.
Over a dozen women have accused Simmons of sexual assault in recent months. In March, an unidentified woman filed a $10 million lawsuit against the former Def Jam mogul accusing him of rape.
Simmons has vigorously denied all accusations of non-consensual sex.
