Alas, the MMA fighter finally got some closure from the whole ordeal.
Cat Zingano drops the lawsuit against Halle Berry
According to a report from MyNewsLA on Jan 19, 2023, ‘Alpha’ Zingano dropped her lawsuit against American filmmaker, Halle Berry. She filed court papers at the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss her case “with prejudice“. Which prevents her from filing the same suit on a different date.

Which would mean a huge sigh of relief to the Hollywood actress, since the MMA fighter won’t trouble her again. However, it all started because of Berry’s vague promise to feature Zingano in her film. But she reportedly failed to stick to her words, after Zingano’s streak of losses. However, she featured Valentina ‘Bullet’ Shevchenko, who’s one of the fiercest female fighters.
