Heather Bormann had hoped to collect damages over the alleged bust up despite the fact that Cleveland prosecutors opted not to press assault charges against the 45-year-old thesp.

However according to EW.com, the woman's attorney, J. Norman Stark, withdrew her lawsuit in April. He also noted that the Party of Five actor did not fork over any money as part of a settlement to make the matter go away.

Fox also dropped his countersuit against Bormann.

News of the civil suit's withdrawal could not be more timely.

Just this week, Fox's Lost costar, Dominic Monaghan was asked by a fan of their famed ABC adventure series about getting the erstwhile Jack Shephard on Twitter to which Monaghan tweeted back, "He beats women. No thanks."

While Fox couldn't be reached for comment, a source close to the Vantage Point star denied the beating allegations.

Though Fox is out this legal snafu, he was popped three weeks ago for a DUI in Bend, Ore.
