In Monday's filing, Harper dismissed all the claims he had asserted against Howard with prejudice, meaning he cannot refile a lawsuit on those claims. Howard denied those allegations and said in an October filing that he and Harper engaged in"consensual sexual activity." In the original complaint, Harper's lawyers said he and Howard first began corresponding over direct messages on Instagram in May 2021, with Harper initiating the exchange. Harper's complaint showed screenshots of the alleged Instagram exchanges between Harper and Howard, along with an Uber receipt for Harper's trip to Howard's residence on the night of the encounter.
