On September 9, 2022, ZeRo published a video giving an update on his situation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADUYFK-KJng|title=THE LAWSUIT IS OVER}}</ref> First, he and Jisu made a joint statement stating that the lawsuit had concluded. Both parties called for their audience to cease harassment towards each other, and requested publications and any other YouTube commentary content creators referencing the event to respect the parties' wishes in that regard. He talked about how both parties came to an understanding of their shortcomings: ZeRo regrets his role in Jisu's experience in the Sky House as he had exacerbated it in online public discussions, while Jisu apologized and retracted the statements she made regarding Vanessa. Ultimately, both parties agreed to resolve the litigation and move on.
On September 9, 2022, ZeRo published a video stating he along with Jisu made a joint statement stating that the lawsuit has concluded.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADUYFK-KJng&t=248s&ab_channel=ZeRo</ref> Both parties called for their audience to cease harassment towards each other based on the events in the Sky House and the parties' respective social media statements.

In addition, ZeRo stated that he plans on appealing his Twitch ban, and has reiterated that he had no intentions on returning to competitive ''Smash'' as he did not feel welcomed by the scene. In turn, ZeRo accused the community of maintaining an inconsistent bias and having a disregard for the law with its handling of these cases, noting that he felt the higher-ups of the community never liked him, and pointed out how they're trying to stop him from producing content by coercing other players and content creators from collaborating with him or acknowledging him in any capacity, with the threat of being banned from ''Smash'' events or losing their sponsor (ZeRo alleged this had happened to a close friend of his after they played ''Valorant'' together offstream) whilst allowing other controversial figures to be collaborated without repercussion.
