Matthew Morrison settles legal battle with ex-acting coach Peter Mattaliano

OHMYGOSSIP — Matthew Morrison has settled his legal battle with his ex-acting coach Peter Mattaliano. The 38-year-old actor was accused of not paying commission for over 20 years by Peter, who demanded $182,000 from ‘The Good Wife’ star, but has now ended the court case by paying the debt he owed. According to RadarOnline.com, the pair resolved the ongoing issue in a mediation session on October 27, although the details about their settlement have yet to be revealed. However, Matthew has previously insisted he had never signed a deal with Peter agreeing to pay the trainer two-and-half per cent of the profits he earned from the television shows and films he starred in, which led him to file a lawsuit forbidding Peter from using any images of him without his permission. Peter retaliated by launching a counter-suit against the star because he trusted in the legitimacy of their agreement, which was struck up in 2005 despite being amended over the next 10 years.Meanwhile, the hunky actor – who married Renee Puente in 2014 – has revealed is constantly working “crazy hours” because he is “very passionate” about his acting career and just wants to be recognised as a “good human being”. Speaking previously, the former ‘Glee’ actor – who played the role of Will Schuester in the Fox series for six years – said: “I always try to not let the business define who I am and I try to have my own identity. “And I am a laid-back kind of just, appreciative guy. And I work a lot of crazy hours and do a lot of crazy things. But I’m very passionate about what I do. At the end of the day, you just strive to be a good human being and always try to give back. That’s my motto.”
