Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has been hit with a second sexual assault lawsuit by two former contestants of All-American Girl, an all-girl competition show for which Lythgoe was a producer in the early Noughties.
The second lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday (2 January) by anonymous plaintiffs Jane Doe KG and Jane Doe KN, comes days after Lythgoe was accused of sexual assault by former American Idol judge Paula Abdul. Lythgoe said he was “shocked” by Abdul’s allegations, and denied abusing her in a statement.
