## Paula Abdul and Nigel Lythgoe Reach Settlement in Sexual Assault Case
Pop icon Paula Abdul and former “So You Think You Can Dance” creator Nigel Lythgoe have settled a lawsuit alleging sexual assault, bringing an end to a legal battle that began in January 2024. The terms of the settlement remain confidential.
The lawsuit, filed by a former contestant on the popular dance competition show, accused Lythgoe of sexual assault and harassment, alleging a pattern of inappropriate behavior towards contestants. Abdul was named in the suit for allegedly enabling Lythgoe’s actions and being complicit in creating a opposed work habitat.
Both Abdul and lythgoe have denied the allegations. Lythgoe, in response to the initial accusations, vehemently refuted the claims, stating, “I categorically deny these allegations. Thay are completely false and without merit.”
The settlement, while bringing closure to the lawsuit, does not signify an admission of guilt from either party. It merely represents a resolution to avoid a protracted and perhaps damaging legal battle.
