Former MLB All-Star and NFL Pro Bowler Bo Jackson is giving up his $21 million judgment in an extortion case involving his niece and nephew.
Per Rosie Manins of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jackson agreed to settle his civil extortion case against Thomas Lee Anderson and Erica M. Anderson, also known as Erica Anderson Ross.
In a court filing on Tuesday (h/t ESPN.com), Jackson and the Andersons reached a private agreement to resolve the dispute after two mediation sessions.
Jackson originally won the $21 million judgment in February 2024 after he claimed in a lawsuit that Thomas and Erica were attempting to extort him by posting threatening messages and posts on social media, public allegations that painted him in a negative light and public disclosure of private information with the goal of causing emotional distress.
