The settlement between Sharon Osbourne and Megan Hauserman – a former contestant on Rock Of Love Charm School was confirmed by Osbourne's attorney.
Jury selection had been scheduled to be completed today in the trial of Megan Hauserman's lawsuit, but the lawyers told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Abraham A. Khan that the case was resolved, attorney Howard L. Weitzman said on behalf of Osbourne.
The settlement terms were not disclosed.
Hauserman began the legal fight when she lodged her complaint against Osbourne in March 2009. The lawsuit stemmed from a confrontation in December 2008 between the two women, which was billed online as 'Sharon and Megan's big fight'.
Hauserman alleged Osbourne hit her, pulled her hair, and scratched her after the two exchanged insults. However, according to Osbourne's countersuit, Hauserman assumed the risk of injury while taking part in Charm School and breached her part of the agreement by suing.
A physical confrontation between the women lasted about a minute, with Hauserman and another contestant who joined the fracas all being pulled apart, according to Osbourne's court papers.
Hauserman was 'visibly drunk' and argued with a contestant named Rodeo before the confrontation with Osbourne, according to the countersuit.
After one exchange between Rodeo and Hauserman, Osbourne told the plaintiff that she 'was not fit to be a parent,' according to Osbourne's court papers.
"Hauserman responded by saying that the only thing Mrs Osbourne had managed as a celebrity was to watch her husband's brain turn into a vegetable," the countersuit stated.
"Mrs Osbourne reacted to this insult by calmly picking up a glass and dumping its contents on Hauserman. "
During the altercation, Hauserman "deeply scratched and bruised Mrs Osbourne and ripped her clothing, including a vintage Valentino leather jacket, " according to the countersuit.
Hauserman had less than $1,000 in medical injuries that consisted largely of a sore thumb and 'hair pain,' according to Osbourne's court papers.
Osbourne said in the papers that she believed Hauserman started the incident for publicity.
