The following was reported by TMZ:
“It’s unclear if the two sides reached a monetary settlement … Cartwright’s attorney, John Chwarzynski, tells us only, ‘The parties have put this in their past and are focused on the future.’
We reached out to Riddle’s attorneys for comment … but so far, no word back yet.”
