Ex-"So You Think You Can Dance" judges Paula Abdul and Nigel Lythgoe have settled a sexual lawsuit centered around the latter's alleged misconduct.

Paula Abdul and former "American Idol" producer Nigel Lythgoe have agreed to settle a lawsuit in which she alleged he sexually assaulted her in the early 2000s when she was a judge on the show.

Paula Abdul says her sexual assault lawsuit against producer Nigel Lythgoe is 'something I can now put behind me' after the case was settled in Los Angeles this week.
