'Love & Hip Hop' Star Masika Kalysha Drops $6 Million Lawsuit Over 2020 Hazel-E Fight
The reality star could re-file her case at a later date, within the statute of limitations.
Love & Hip Hop star Masika Kalysha dismissed her $6 million lawsuit without prejudice, ending her court war with Zeus network.
Kalysha submitted a new filing on April 10 after RadarOnline.com learned that she opted to drop all claims against fellow reality star Hazel-E and another woman named Jayla Williams following a fight that occurred between the trio.
Kalysha sued for alleged sexual battery and fraud, demanding the seven-figure sum in damages and the footage be taken offline.
According to her lawsuit, Kalysha and Hazel had lingering tension from a filming incident in 2020. Kalysha stated that she agreed to sit down with Hazel on camera soon after to settle their differences once and for all.
After filming the Zeus sit-down, the VH1 alum claimed all hell broke loose after Hazel and another woman allegedly burst into her dressing room.
Kalysha said the duo assaulted her and she was severely injured and had to recover from bruises and a broken finger.
Prior to her dismissing the lawsuit, the network submitted a motion asking for the case to be moved to arbitration.
Her petition stated that Zeus' security broke up the fight, claiming the guard groped her groin and butt and said, "She's thick as f---."

She mentioned Hazel and other parties in the initial filing because of their involvement in the incident and episode production, it was reported.
