Honestly I wish they had fought this, but I understand why they settled.

Firstly, he was held liable for "sexual assault" which was legally different from rape at the time. (Obviously, he's still a fucking rapist). He loves to tout this fact, as weird and sad as that is.

Secondly, and most likely the biggest factor in their decision, fighting Trump's BS suit would likely cost way more than $15M and he's soon to be the president (uuuuuuugh) so that complicates things even further in his favor because the case would go on beyond his inauguration.
