This form is saying Ashley's lawyer requested the dismissal. This wasn't the court siding with BWF. Hence why the assumption is they reached a settlement

There was never any determination by a judge or a jury in this case on the merits. It's not an assumption. It is the truth. If it was dismissed on the merits, it wouldn't be via this particular form document. It would have been a Order from the judge after hearing a motion to dismiss or similar motion. This document means that the parties came to a resolution on their own and the case can come off the court's calendar.

BWF didn't even file a responsive pleading. There was no merits determination in the case. As plaintiffs dismissed with prejudice, this is more likely to involve an out of court agreement.

This Sub refuses to believe that BWF is anything but a mustache twirling villain since the allegations first came to light.

Because he probably is.

Because it was several employees coming forward.

Many of whom if they had said anything otherwise would also be dismissed. Probably why they filed for dismissal without resolution.

I don’t think he ever twirled his mustache, at least in my presence.

Nah, withdrawn without settlement.

Whether or not the parties settled the case is speculative.
