Hazel E didn't even respond to the lawsuit before being dismissed.
Kalysha filed a civil lawsuit in August 2022 against Hazel and Zeus Network. In her petition, filed without a lawyer, Kalysha said she was upset over what went down at a 2020 filming.
Kalysha said she agreed to sit down with Hazel on camera to hash out their differences. The chat was filmed by Zeus.
