The Oscar-winning filmmaker behind 'Crash' was accused by publicist Haleigh Breest of raping her in his New York apartment after a movie premiere in 2013.
Oscar winner Paul Haggis on Wednesday dropped his lawsuit without explanation in a letter sent to New York's Supreme Court.
The writer-director sued publicist Haleigh Breest in 2017 after she made the accusations, alleging in his complaint that Breest has intentionally inflicted emotional distress and was motivated by money. Haggis also claimed he couldn’t have raped her due to “a serious back problem.” Haggis was seeking unspecified damages in his suit filed in New York.A judge subsequently dismissed his suit, but Haggis appealed.
“It is clear a scorched earth campaign is being waged against Mr. Haggis with the intent to utterly ruin him,” said attorney Priya Chaudhry, who represents the filmmaker, in a statement sent to The Times. “… To save his remaining resources, Mr. Haggis is not appealing his emotional distress claim — but he still fully disputes the accusations again him.”
