Britney Spears, photographer settle suit

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Court records show Britney Spears and a photographer whose foot she ran over have settled a lawsuit.

Ricardo Mendoza sued the pop singer in May, accusing her of assault, battery and negligently driving her car when she ran over his foot in Beverly Hills in October 2007.

Court records filed in Los Angeles show a settlement notice was filed on Monday. The records do not disclose the terms of the agreement.

TMZ, who employed Mendoza at the time, auctioned his tire-stained sock and donated the proceeds to charity.

The incident happened during a turbulent period for Spears, who hours earlier had lost custody of her two sons. She now has the No. 1 song on Billboard's charts with her single "3'' and has since regained visitation rights.

  • Maybe they can settle out of court. I know she could teach him how to lip-sync. And maybe she can let him have some of her ugly hair extensions, for a down payment.
