A publicist dropped her lawsuit against Hercules actor Kevin Sorbo, which alleged the plaintiff was not paid for helping promote the “Hercules” actor’s career in Russia.

Peter Bersin, an attorney for Sophia Bardo, filed court papers on Dec. 24 with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gregory Alarcon asking that the complaint be dismissed. The documents did not state whether a settlement was reached.

Bersin did not immediately return a call for comment today. Sorbo’s lawyer, Gregory Girvan, declined to comment.

Bardo’s lawsuit was filed in June 2014 and alleged breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and fraud.

According to the lawsuit, Bardo began work in 2009 to promote Sorbo as an actor, entertainer and investor. In 2013, the two agreed to have Bardo, who is Russian, “promote Sorbo as an actor and to expose him to investors seeking to purchase Sorbo’s scripts or develop television shows and movies starring Sorbo,” the suit stated.

Bardo arranged interviews between Sorbo and the Russian media, had ads published concerning the actor, set up appearances for him at clubs and other locations and scheduled events aimed at further publicity for him, the suit stated. She spent so much time working on behalf of Sorbo that it became her full-time job, according to the complaint.

“In addition, a documentary film was made in Russia involving Sorbo,” the suit stated.

But Sorbo did not pay Bardo for her work and refused her requests for compensation, the suit stated. She would not have worked for him had she known he would not pay her, according to the lawsuit.

Sorbo is best known for the role of Hercules in “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.”
