Pras Michel Drops Lauryn Hill Lawsuit Without Prejudice Ahead of Prison Term

The voluntary dismissal leaves the dispute unresolved days before Michel begins a 14-year sentence.

Overview

  • A March 11 filing in the Southern District of New York dismisses the case without prejudice, with each side covering its own costs and fees.
  • Michel’s 2024 suit against Hill and MLH Touring accused them of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, improper accounting, and blocking a tour audit tied to the halted 2023 reunion.
  • The complaint alleged Hill sought a 60% share of tour proceeds and rejected a $5 million Coachella offer; Hill has called the claims baseless.
  • No reason for the dismissal was disclosed, and attorneys for both parties have not provided comment.
  • Michel is due to report to prison on March 30 for a foreign-influence and illegal lobbying conviction, while Hill’s representative says she is complying with a New Jersey tax repayment plan.
