Sept. 4 2009, Published 7:17 a.m. ET
Mel Gibson's girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has settled a lawsuit against a man she claimed infringed on the copyright of four of her songs, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Oksana has been locked in an ongoing battle with Samuel Oriti, first filing a 10-count suit against him centered around her music and later suing him for allegedly distributing photos of her in lingerie.
And now that Oksana has hooked up with Mel, she's been using one of LA's top law firms, Lavely & Singer, to go on the attack for her.
While the lingerie suit is still pending, the settlement in the songwriting suit stipulates a dismissal of all counts and Oksana agreed to add Oriti, a music producer, as co-author to the four songs that were in question.
