Update in Sean Penn's Defamation Case Against Lee Daniels

Remember when Lee Daniels pointed out that Sean Penn pointed out that Sean Penn beats women, and Penn got all offended and sued Lee Daniels for defamation? Daniels tried to get the suit moved to federal court, but that move was denied and sent back to the state of New York. Daniels' attorney released the following statement, as reprinted by Deadline: “Having considered the arguments and authorities raised in Penn’s October 22, 2015 pre-motion letter requesting a remand and having diligently met and conferred, Daniels has agreed to withdraw his Notice of Removal, and to have this matter remanded to the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Further, the parties’ resolution includes Daniels’ payment of a confidential monetary amount to Penn consistent with the guiding principles [of the U.S. Code]." That payment is for Penn's legal fees, as requested by Penn's lawyers. The next court date is still TBD.
