Paula Abdul has settled her sexual assault lawsuit against TV producer Nigel Lythgoe, bringing an end to a year-long legal battle. Abdul accused Lythgoe of sexually assaulting her during their collaboration on ‘American Idol’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. Both parties expressed relief at the resolution, with Abdul hoping her experience will inspire other women facing similar challenges. The settlement terms remain undisclosed as they prepare to dismiss the case, which was set for trial next year.
