NYPD Blue Star Settles 2022 Hit-and-Run Case

NYPD Blue star Kim Delaney has settled a lawsuit with a man who accused her of slamming her car into his motorcycle before leaving the scene, more than three years ago.

Lawyers for the motorcyclist told Superior Court in documents reviewed by the Daily Mail that the case with Delaney, 64, had been unconditionally settled on May 19.

The motorcyclist, whose name is Dzhamal Badalov, had previously told the court that the Emmy-winning actress struck him in a November 2022 incident on Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Badalov said in a previous legal filing that Delaney, best known for playing Detective Diane Russell on the ABC police drama, had hit him while he was stationary on his bike while at a red light.

Delaney initially attempted to leave the scene, Badalov said in a prior court filing, noting that he had been thrown from the bike in the collision.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for both parties for further comment on the story. 

After witnesses prevented her from departing, Badalov told the court that Delaney began speaking on the phone with someone who advised her to try and offer him cash to avoid contacting the authorities, which he declined to do.
