Summer Zervos is a former contestant on "The Apprentice" and was suing former President Donald Trump for defamation on Friday.
She dropped her defamation lawsuit that was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court that said the case was dismissed and discontinued without prejudice. This means that she cannot file the same claim in the future in state court.
The case had been in litigation for four years and the ruling now is that both parties are responsible for their own costs.
Zervos had accused Trump of groping and kissing her against her will in 2007 in a hotel in Beverly Hills while she was a contestant on his show. The accusation came nine years after the alleged incident, coincidentally right in time for Trump's 2016 presidential election campaign.
Zervos sued the then-president in 2017, saying that he had defamed her when he publicly called her a “liar” and said her accusations were “totally made up stuff” and “fake news.” Actually, it seems like Trump was being kind to her by simply calling her a liar--she seems to be more of a political whore.
Her attorneys, Beth Wilkinson and Moira Penza, said that “after five years, Ms. Zervos no longer wishes to litigate against the defendant and has secured the right to speak freely about her experience.”

She'll probably go for a book deal because that's what political whores do when they want to get paid for their allegations. Look at Andrew Cuomo, for example.
“Zervos stands by the allegations in her complaint and has accepted no compensation,” they said in a statement.

Until her book deal.
Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, said in a statement that Zervos ". . . had no choice but to do so as the facts unearthed in this matter made it abundantly clear that our client did nothing wrong,”

“It is so sad when things like this can happen, but so incredibly important to fight for the truth and justice. Only victory can restore one’s reputation!” Trump said in his own statement.
But will Trump run again in 2024?
