The TV Zone

Remember that huge kerfuffle in December '06 between News Corp. and onetime Fox News Channel contributor/publisher-with-big-stick/Bernard Kerik-very-close-friend Judith Regan? Of course you do (who could forget?): She got fired over that ridiculous "If I Did It" O.J. autobiography which was going to be turned into a TV doc, and subsequently sued News Corp. It got uglier and uglier after that. News Corp. said she was anti-Semitic, and then Regan - who really knows how to go nuclear - went nuclear on her ex-employer.

In any event, peace has been achieved in our time. News Corp. and Regan have settled out of court, and here's the (rather bizarre) press release announcing the detente:

"Judith Regan and News Corporation announced today that they have settled her lawsuit arising from the termination of Ms. Regan’s employment in December of 2006. The parties are pleased that they have reached an equitable, confidential settlement, with no admission of liability by any party.

News Corp. said, “After carefully considering the matter, we accept Ms. Regan’s position that she did not say anything that was anti-Semitic in nature, and further believe that Ms. Regan is not anti-Semitic.”

News Corp. also said, “Ms. Regan is a talented publisher who created many award-winning and bestselling books during her twelve and a half years at the company. News Corp. thanks Ms. Regan for her outstanding contributions and wishes her continued success.”

Ms. Regan said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with so many gifted people and am looking forward to my next venture.”
