Make Up Artist Drops Rape Claims Against Snoop Dogg

The makeup artist who was trying to sue rapper Snoop Dogg for millions of dollars has dropped all charges.

The dropped lawsuit alleged that the make up artist, Kylie Bell, had been raped by Snoop and members of his entourage following a taping of the 'Jimmy Kimmel Live Show', where Snoop was a guest host back in 2003.

Bell’s lawyer filed a request last week to dismiss the suit with prejudice, meaning that it cannot be refilled.

Snoop’s lawyer has also asked that a suit he filed against Bell be dismissed; he claimed in his suit that Bell had been attempting to exhort money from him in exchange for keeping quiet.

Snoop has maintained throughout that he paid “absolutely no money in the settlement” to make up artists Bell.

A lawyer for Bell said in a statement that “the matter has been resolved amicably”.

Snoop Dogg protested his innocence on the Larry King show in February, he said: "I refuse to be another entertainer who writes a check for false allegations,"

"I'm innocent...I wasn't even in the building. That's a serious allegation (rape).This happened two years ago...I got a lot of money, true indeed, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give it to you."
