At the time Reynolds was under extreme pressure from Higgins media supporters, mean girls, #metoo movement, PMO and her own health frailities to cauterize the issue. So she reluctantly settled, paying from her own pocket.

Reynolds not only was justified in calling Higgins a lying cow, in relation to her claim of not being supported by Reynolds after her rape allegation, but is fully entitled to restore her reputation.
