TL;DR

Paula Abdul has filed a lawsuit against television producer Nigel Lythgoe, alleging two instances of sexual assault, one during her time on American Idol and another while working on So You Think You Can Dance. The lawsuit, filed under California's Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act, claims Lythgoe's behavior was widely known and that Abdul remained silent for years due to fear of career repercussions. Abdul is seeking unspecified damages, and Lythgoe has yet to respond to the allegations.
