Paula Abdul and Nigel Lythgoe settle sexual assault lawsuit

“Opposites Attract” singer Paula Abdul has agreed to settle her lawsuit against former “American Idol” producer Nigel Lythgoe. In the suit, she alleged that Lythgoe sexually assaulted her when she was a judge on the show in the early 2000s.

As reported by NPR, Abdul filed a notice of settlement for the initial case in Los Angeles Superior Court on Dec. 12 and is waiting for approval from a judge to make it official.

Abdul explained her reason for settling with Lythgoe in a statement on Dec. 13. She said of the lawsuit, “I am grateful that this chapter has successfully come to a close and is now something I can now put behind me. This has been a long and hard-fought personal battle. I hope my experience can serve to inspire other women facing similar struggles to overcome their challenges with dignity and respect so that they too can turn the page and begin a new chapter of their lives.”
The terms of the settlement between Lythgoe and Abdul have not yet been revealed, but Abdul’s attorney, Melissa Eubanks, confirmed that the court filing was unconditional.
