Sean Penn has settled his defamation lawsuit against Lee Daniels which came about after the Empire co-creator made comments about the actor and a past of alleged domestic violence.
ABC News reported that while the exact terms of the settlement were not disclosed, Daniels did agree to make a donation to Penn's J/P Haitian Relief Organization charity. Daniels also wrote an apology letter to the Oscar winner which was made public.
"I am so sorry that I have hurt you, Sean, and I apologize and retract my reckless statements about you. How thoughtless of me,” he continued, “You are someone I consider a friend, a brilliant actor and true Hollywood legend and humanitarian."
Penn accepted Daniels’ apology. He was originally seeking $10 million in the suit.
