Kelly Osbourne has settled a lawsuit brought against her by her father's ex-mistress.

Kelly Osbourne has settled the defamation suit brought by her father's ex-lover.

Michelle Pugh, who says she carried on a multi-year affair with Ozzy Osbourne, sued Kelly Osbourne for defamation over the summer. In her complaint, she said Kelly published her private phone number on Twitter and goaded social media followers into bullying her, as well as accusing her of "elder abuse."

Pugh and her attorney F. Edie Mermelstein had sent Kelly a cease-and-desist letter in May demanding that the disparaging tweets be pulled down.

On Friday, Mermelstein confirmed to People that "the tweets have been removed and the lawsuit has been privately resolved."

Kelly has not commented on the settlement.
