Paris Hilton agrees deal to end lingerie lawsuit

Paris Hilton has worked out a deal to settle a lawsuit with a lingerie company by reportedly agreeing to front a new line with the firm.

The hotel heiress became embroiled in a legal dispute with Italian underwear company Le Bonitas after she signed a deal in 2010 to launch her own range, but the agreement fell through.

Hilton filed a lawsuit claiming company bosses failed to promote the collection in Europe, while Le Bonitas chiefs sued the star for allegedly ignoring designs sent to her for approval.

The case went to court in New York City last month (May12) and a judge ordered the two sides to settle the dispute in mediation, and TMZ.com reports they have now reached an out of court agreement to end the legal battle.

Hilton attended a settlement conference on Monday (04Jun12) and reportedly agreed to front a new line for the company.
