Farrah Abraham has reached a settlement in her lawsuit against Viacom.
The Teen Mom star sued MTV’s parent company for $5 million last month, claiming she was fired because of her decision to work in the adult entertainment industry. On Tuesday, Abraham’s lawyer filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the suit, according to Texas court documents obtained by The Blast
In the documents, Abraham confirms that the parties “amicably settled” the matter, though no terms of the settlement were released. The dismissal was filed with prejudice, which means the case cannot be brought back to court.
.In the original complaint, Abraham, who is mom to 8-year-old daughter Sophia, alleged Viacom “wrongfully terminated her employment because she did not conform to gender stereotypes.” The 26-year-old previously released sex tapes with Vivid Entertainment in 2013 and 2014 with porn star James Deen, and since then, she has done adult webcam shows and appearances at strip clubs, as well as sex toy endorsements.
“We respect Farrah’s decision to pursue other endeavors and we wish her the best,” a Viacom spokesperson told PEOPLE at the time. “Regarding her suit, the claims are without merit.”
According to Abraham, shortly after the confrontation, production informed her she was no longer needed for the show.
She sued for emotional pain, emotional suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life and other damages.
The suit came months after Abraham claimed she had been fired by Viacom in early November for working as an adult entertainer. She later backtracked, clarifying that Viacom’s legal team had not terminated her contract.
