Nigel Lythgoe Breaks Quietness On Paula Abdul’s Sexual Attack Allegations

‘American Idol’ boss Nigel Lythgoe has damaged his quietness at the sexual attack allegations made via singer Paula Abdul.

In a long observation, Lythgoe stated he’s “shocked” and “saddened” via the new allegations.

“To say that I am shocked and saddened by the allegations made against me by Paula Abdul is a wild understatement. For more than two decades, Paula and I have interacted as dear — and entirely platonic — friends and colleagues,” he started.

The ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ boss added, “Yesterday, however, out of the blue, I learned of these claims in the press and I want to be clear: not only are they false, they are deeply offensive to me and to everything I stand for.”

He concluded with, “While Paula’s history of erratic behavior is well known, I can’t pretend to understand exactly why she would file a lawsuit that she must know is untrue. But I can promise that I will fight this appalling smear with everything I have.”

As you might know, the day gone by, Friday, December 29, Paula Abdul filed a lawsuit, claiming that Nigel Lythgoe verbally and sexually assaulted her.

“Right through considered one of ‘American Idol”s initial seasons, while on the road for the show’s regional auditions, Lythgoe sexually assaulted her,” the felony doctors mentioned, in keeping with our earlier file.

“One evening, following the day’s auditions, Lythgoe and Abdul entered the elevator of the hotel where they were staying,” the doctors persevered, including, “Upon entering the elevator, Lythgoe shoved Abdul against the wall, then grabbed her genitals and breasts, and began shoving his tongue down her throat. Abdul attempted to push Lythgoe away from her.”

The felony doctors proceed, “When the doors to the elevator for her floor opened, Abdul ran out of the elevator and to her hotel room. Abdul quickly called one of her representatives in tears to inform them of the assault,” the doctors persevered.

Paula Abdul says the ‘American Idol’ boss assaulted her a 2nd month pace at a cocktail party at Lythgoe’s space, the place he “attempted to kiss her” and claimed the 2 would form a “power couple.”
