Kelly tweeted at the time: "Anyone looking for cheap chunky LOW-lights a blow out and a blowjob call *********** (sic).

“My father is almost 70 ever heard of elder abuse?”

Michelle, 45, hit back, claiming she had been “sl*t-shamed, bullied and harassed” by the former Fashion Police star and insisted her relationship with the dad-of-five was “no fling”.

In August she then filed a complaint against Kelly, seeking compensatory and punitive damages, accusing Ozzy's youngest daughter of having "stimulated controversy for the purpose of making money" by taking to Twitter to post her remarks.
But despite the bitter exchange between the two women, it now seems like the case has been resolved.

Michelle's lawyer F. Edie Mermelstein told People magazine: "The tweets have been removed and the lawsuit has been privately resolved. The resolution statement is mutual."It is not yet known how the settlement was reached or what was involved.

In the original documents, Michelle had also taken aim at her 67-year-old former lover, who has been married to X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne for more than 30 years, saying he wooed her with "false promises and false representations".

However, she added that she had no regrets about the affair, saying: "You happen to meet someone and you have an amazing connection and it's not desirable to act upon it. End of story.

"Love is never a mistake. Even when it's messy and even when it hurts."
