Lil Peep‘s mother Liza Womack has reached an out-of-court settlement in her wrongful death lawsuit against her son’s management team.

According to The Blast, attorneys for both sides — Womack and First Access Entertainment (FAE) — told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Teresa A. Beaudet that the case was resolved “in principle” earlier this week.

Lil Peep passed away following a drug overdose in 2017. His mother sued FAE over his death, claiming they, along with former manager Brian “Chase” Ortega and tour manager Belinda Mercer, enabled her son’s drug use and pushed him to perform when he was in no shape to do so.

Womack is suing FAE for wrongful death, negligence and breach of contract. However, FAE denied any wrongdoing in a statement issued in 2019.

“Lil Peep’s death from an accidental drug overdose was a terrible tragedy,” FAE said. “However, the claim that First Access Entertainment, any of its employees, or Chase Ortega, or anyone else under our auspices was somehow responsible for, complicit in, or contributed to his death is categorically untrue.”

Peep’s mother spoke to Pitchfork about her son’s case in 2021 explaining why she filed the lawsuit and what she hoped to accomplish with it in the first place.

“If people are held accountable for their actions, I will feel that justice has been done,” she said. “You learn to live with the pain, and you’re a different person, because when your child dies, the person that you were dies, too. But I will be glad, and I hope to feel satisfaction.”

Earlier in the year, Judge Beaudet had given the green light to move forward with the trial after Womack “demonstrated a casual connection” when it came to the negligence shown by First Access Entertainment during her son’s 2017 drug overdose in Arizona.

Judge Beaudet believes that FAE could’ve done more to create a safer environment for Lil Peep.

“If you’re going to create an environment like that where drugs are flowing, and you’re providing it, and hey, you actually don’t have any life-saving device or any Narcan to help people who are going to have a problem with these drugs, it seems to me you are creating a very dangerous situation there,” the judge said.

The trial was reportedly slated to begin in March 2023, with both FAE and Peep’s tour manager Belinda Mercer taking on the suit.
