Overview
- A court stipulation filed this week says the parties have amicably resolved all disputes, with Haggis to pay just under $2 million.
- The agreement closes a New York lawsuit brought by former publicist Haleigh Breest over an alleged 2013 assault after a film premiere.
- A civil jury in 2022 found Haggis liable and returned a multi‑million dollar verdict, with a judge later adding $2.8 million in attorneys' fees.
- Haggis denied wrongdoing, asserting consent and suggesting a Scientology-related plot, defenses the jury rejected at trial.
- Haggis withdrew his appeals in 2024, and by March of that year Breest's lawyers had collected about $61,000 while settlement talks continued.
