Lawsuit against former radio host Eric Ferguson dropped

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The woman who claimed she was forced into sex acts by former Chicago radio hist Eric Ferguson has dropped her lawsuit.

This ends a two-year battle for Ferguson, who stepped away from his popular show on The Mix 101.9, WTMX-FM, in October 2021.

Ferguson's former assistant producer, Cynthia DeNicolo, also said in the lawsuit that station owners retaliated by blocking promotions – and ultimately used COVID-19 to terminate her.

Ferguson denies any inappropriate conduct.
