Megan Fox has agreed to settle her three-year legal battle over a $3.3million 'moldy mansion' she bought from Brad Pitt's longtime manager that she claims gave her health issues and ruined her life.   The 35-year-old actress purchased the property from Cynthia Pett-Dante in May 2016, only to soon realize it was plagued with serious issues, including mold and leaks, and required at least $500,000 remedial work. Fox filed a $5million lawsuit against Pett-Dante two years later and, in an astonishing court deposition, complained that the bad purchase had given her 'chronic migraines' and 'constant stress.'    But in a court order filed earlier this month, Judge David Soleto ruled in Pett-Dante's favor, granting her motion for summary judgment.  Pett-Dante in turn offered a $100,000 compromise deal under the California civil code 998, where either party can propose a settlement before the case goes to trial.
