NBC defamation settlement with Georgia doctor finalized in court following MSNBC's 'uterus collector' coverage
Fox News
NBCUniversal avoided a high-stakes $30 million trial after it settled a lawsuit filed by Georgia gynecologist Dr. Mahendra Amin, reaching a formal conclusion in court.
Both parties struck the settlement in February, but the lawsuit was officially dismissed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. The terms of the settlement were not publicly disclosed. Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital.

"We are pleased that Dr. Amin is able to move on from his years-long litigation against NBCUniversal," Amin's attorneys, Stacey Evans and Scott Grubman, told Fox News Digital. "It is unfortunate that he had to sue to get confirmation of what was known all along—that he did not perform mass hysterectomies on women detained at Irwin County Detention Center. We are glad that the judge found those statements false as a matter of law because, in fact, Dr. Amin performed only two hysterectomies, both of which were medically necessary and consented to by the patients."
