Charlie Sheen Settles Assault Suit

Although terms were not disclosed, Teri Star and Charlisse L'Amour who sued Hollywood star Charlie Sheen, claiming they were assaulted by his bodyguard Zippy and threatened with their lives, settled their lawsuit, a Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman said.

L'Amour and Star sued Sheen last July seeking unspecified damages for battery, negligence and infliction of emotional distress. In their lawsuit, L'Amour and Star claimed they were "intimate friends" of Sheen who were invited to his home in Malibu last July 26, only to find no one answering the gate when they arrived.

L'Amour and Star scaled the gates (as Star said she had done in the past, according to court papers) only to find Sheen's bodyguard, Curtis "Zippy" Hunt, waiting at the door. Hunt allegedly punched L'Amour in the nose and broke her jaw. When Star tried to intervene, Hunt lifted her by the hair, threw her down and repeatedly kicked her.

The women scrambled into the taxi that had taken them to Sheen's, when Zippy went purportedly after the cab driver, Surjit Lal, the third plaintiff in the lawsuit. After being punched, the cabby drove to a police station, where the two ladies said they decided not to press charges out of loyalty to Sheen.

According to the suit, the women changed their mind when Hunt called L'Amour the next day (supposedly at Sheen's instructions) and threatened to kill the women if they reported his behavior. They also claim that Sheen had been home the entire time of the incident.

Sheen then filed a restraining order against the two women apparently to keep them away from him and Zippy.
