Nigel Lythgoe Faces Fourth Sexual Assault Lawsuit

The former 'So You Think You Can Dance' producer is accused of assaulting a woman in 2016, adding to previous allegations by Paula Abdul and others.

A fourth woman has accused Nigel Lythgoe, former producer of 'So You Think You Can Dance' and 'American Idol', of sexual assault, alleging the incident occurred in 2016.
The new lawsuit claims Lythgoe forcibly touched the woman in his car after offering her a ride home, leading to a 10-15 minute assault.
Paula Abdul and two other women previously filed lawsuits against Lythgoe, accusing him of sexual assault and misconduct.
Lythgoe has denied the allegations, calling them 'false' and 'deeply offensive', and has vowed to fight the claims.
Following the allegations, Lythgoe stepped down from his role on 'So You Think You Can Dance', with Jojo Siwa replacing him as a judge for the upcoming season.
