L.A. Reid Settles Drew Dixon Sexual Assault Suit on Day Trial Was to Begin

The confidential resolution included no admission of liability.

Overview

  • The case was resolved in Manhattan federal court just before jury selection, and the terms were not disclosed.
  • Reid’s attorney said he resolved the matter without any admission of liability.
  • Dixon filed the 2023 lawsuit under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily reopened older civil claims.
  • Her complaint alleged two 2001 assaults and professional retaliation that hindered her signing artists such as John Legend.
  • A planned trial with expected testimony from John Legend, Aku Orraca-Tetteh and executive Roy Lott was averted, and Dixon said she will refocus on music and survivor advocacy.
