Anna Nicole Smith’s former lawyer abruptly dropped his gay-sex libel suit against author Rita Cosby late yesterday.
Howard K. Stern sued Cosby over published claims that he was videotaped having sex with the father of Smith’s baby.
The $60 million case was heading to trial until the one-page settlement agreement was filed in Manhattan federal court after the end of the business day.
Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, and lawyers for both sides didn’t return requests for comment.
Stern is due in a California court next month to face charges that he and two doctors supplied the busty Playboy Playmate with mountains of prescription drugs before her overdose death in 2007.
