Kiefer Sutherland, shown with Carlos Bernard at the 24 finale party a couple weeks ago, is apparently out of legal hot water with Jack McCollough, who alleged that Sutherland head-butted him at a party.

McCollough claimed the actor had attacked him for no reason at the Met Gala in New York on 5 May, while Sutherland’s side was that Proenza Schouler designer McCollough barged past Brooke Shields, and Sutherland confronted him.  Shields has confirmed Sutherland’s story and called the whole flapdoodle “unfortunate.”

McCollough ended up with a broken nose after the encounter, and Sutherland has since admitted that he “regretted” the set-to.

We don’t have details on the settlement, or how it came about, but the rapprochement may mean the assault charges against Sutherland will be dropped.  More as we have it.
