Days of Our Lives alum Arianne Zucker (Nicole Walker-DiMera) spoke out after settling her lawsuit against former producer Albert Alarr. The CBS actress didn’t just confirm the news, she also gave out a positive message for the future.

Zucker Reacts On Attorney’s Instagram Post

On Tuesday, Zucker’s attorney, Anahita Sedaghatfar, posted a message on Instagram celebrating the legal win. In it, she praised her client’s courage for standing up and fighting back. The post appeared on Zucker’s own profile as well, so a lot of DOOL fans saw it.  

In the comments section, Arianne Zucker shared her first public reaction. She wrote, “And now… we continue to help people around the world choose to live a life that inspires them to feel alive!” 

While it wasn’t specific on how she intends to do that, many people loved the focus on positivity. Remember, she has a reputation for standing up to powerful figures and once slammed Donald Trump a decade ago for inappropriate comments while filming a cameo.

Fans React To The Message

In the replies, DOOL fans suggested that she return to the show, or at least to some other daytime drama show. One of them wrote, “@ari8675 join Beyond The Gates and reunite with Greg Vaughn!!”

Meanwhile, others felt very happy that she stood up and fought back in an industry with a woeful reputation for discrimination against women.

“You are a wonderfully inspiring Woman. Your Daughter is very lucky to have such a great role model. We still miss you on #DOOL,” one admirer penned.

Zucker’s Lawsuit Officially Settled

According to The LA Times, Arianne Zucker settled her lawsuit against Alarr, along with Days of Our Lives executive producer Ken Corday and Corday Productions, Inc. The filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court confirmed the case had been resolved.

The report noted that Alarr agreed to settle to “end the dispute and move forward.” Notably, the exact terms of the settlement remain private. Even so, the decision closed a difficult chapter in Zucker’s long-running soap career.

Her lawsuit included allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation. At the time, Arianne Zucker claimed that after she spoke up about inappropriate behavior on set, she faced unfair treatment. Not long after, she filmed her final scenes, bringing an end to her 26-year run as Nicole Walker.
