Paula Abdul Settles Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against 'American Idol' Producer Nigel Lythgoe in Confidential Agreement
Dec 13, 2024, 09:05 PM
Paula Abdul and former 'American Idol' producer Nigel Lythgoe have reached a settlement in a lawsuit where Abdul alleged that Lythgoe sexually assaulted her in the early 2000s during her tenure as a judge on the show. The settlement was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, with terms remaining confidential. Abdul expressed relief that the ordeal was over, stating it was a 'hard-fought personal battle' and hoped her experience would inspire other women facing similar challenges. Lythgoe, who has denied the allegations, also voiced his satisfaction with the resolution, emphasizing his belief in his innocence. The lawsuit also accused Lythgoe of sexually assaulting Abdul after she left 'American Idol' for another competition show, 'So You Think You Can Dance.' Lythgoe has been a prominent TV producer for decades, working on reality competition shows in both the U.K. and the U.S.
