The newspaper claimed in an article in April 2000 that Ms Freehill (56) had used an expletive in a comment about the media as she emerged from a meeting in a Co Monaghan hotel.
The case began in the High Court yesterday, but was halted over a legal point. The jury was discharged.
However, the court was told this morning the dispute has been settled.
The Starapologised to Ms Freehill in a statement read to the court and stated its report was incorrect.
