Tuesday 20 September 2022 11:50 PM Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears' accuser asks a judge to dismiss her lawsuit ... trends now
The anonymous woman who accused Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears of sexually abusing her has withdrawn her lawsuit against the two.
The 22-year-old woman asked the judge overseeing the case to withdraw her lawsuit with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled, according to court documents obtained by TMZ on Tuesday.
The former plaintiff, referred to only as Jane Doe, had originally sued the 42-year-old Girls Trip star and the 47-year-old former MADtv fixture for allegedly grooming her and her younger brother when they were 14 and seven, respectively.
DailyMail.com has reached out to a representative for Haddish for comment.
Moving on: A woman accusing Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears of sexually abusing her and her brother when they were 14 and seven, respectively, withdrew her lawsuit, according to documents obtained Tuesday by TMZ. She claimed they filmed sexually suggestive comedy sketches
After withdrawing her lawsuit, the woman issued a statement.
'My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years — and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us,' she wrote. 'We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us.'
Notably, Spears was not mentioned at all in the statement, though both appear to be in the clear.
Previously, the accuser had called on the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office to 'immediately arrest and prosecute' the celebrities.
The reason for her change of heart after making such disturbing claims were not immediately known.

In her lawsuit accusing the comics of abuse, the anonymous woman said that one of the sketches the group filmed was titled Through a Pedophile's Eyes.
The woman and her brother — John Doe — said they were forced to participate in sexually suggested acts on camera, which left them with crippling emotional scars they are still dealing with today.
In addition to filing the lawsuit, Jane Doe sent a letter to the Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, accusing authorities of doing nothing about the case in the nearly two years since it was reported by their mother to the Las Vegas Police in January 2020, according to The Daily Beast.
In the letter, Jane Doe alleged Haddish and Spears were mentioned by name in the initial complaint, and that the LVPD transferred the case to the Los Angeles Police Department, but that the LAPD officer assigned to it 'has done nothing with this complaint.'
Speaking out: 'My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years — and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us,' she wrote in a statement that didn't mention Spears. 'We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us'
'This matter's breadth and complexity require your jurisdictional powers and resources to tackle and end the stream depravity committed by Haddish and Spears,' the letter continued, 'My brother and I are prepared to speak with investigators and prosecutors from your office and provide you with irrefutable evidence that substantiates our allegations.'
Earlier in September, Haddish acknowledged her participation in the sketches, saying in a statement on her Instagram page from earlier this month that they were intended to be 'comedic,' but 'it wasn't funny at all.'
It was a change in tone after her attorney previously called the allegations 'bogus claims.'
Attorneys for Spears, 47, told the Washington Post that he 'Isn't going to fall for any shakedown.'
