Cuba Gooding Jr. settled a Manhattan federal lawsuit accusing him of rape — just as jury selection was set to begin Tuesday morning in the case.
The “Jerry Maguire” actor, 55, had been slated to face trial over a woman’s allegations that he raped her twice at the Mercer Hotel in Soho on Aug. 24, 2013.
The trial was set to begin at 10 a.m. in Manhattan federal court, but at 10:24 a.m., a note was entered in the case saying “the parties have resolved the matter.”
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
