Lindsay Lohan may be a lot of things, but a fraud isn't one of them.

The bodyguard who claimed the actress failed to pay him more than $55,000 for VIP services rendered—and whom, it's worth noting, Lohan has maintained she's never even met, let alone hired—has formally dropped his lawsuit against the star.

It's unclear whether David Kim dropped the complaint as a result of an out-of-court settlement or for other reasons.

In any case, the Ugly Betty guest star-no-more is cleared of fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of oral contract and a laundry list of state labor violations, all of which Kim alleged in his April 7 filing.

Lohan and her lawyers, who sought to dismiss the lawsuit last month, were not present in court this morning to mark the demise of the suit, and have yet to comment.
