US iconic Comedian Bill
Cosby has given up on his legal battle with Andrea Constand, the woman
who accused the comedian of rape in 2004, in which he claimed breached
their confidentiality agreement.
The
disgraced entertainer headed to court on Thursday and filed a voluntary
dismissal of his lawsuit against Constand, her lawyer and American
Media Inc.
It
remains unclear what caused Cosby to cease his litigation with Constand
after months of back-and-forth dueling lawsuits. But he dismissed the
case without prejudice which means he can refile the lawsuit in the
future if he wishes.
Earlier
this month, Cosby was granted the right to continue his lawsuit against
Constant, claiming she breached the terms of a confidentiality
agreement she signed with him years before.
