She doesn’t have good memories of that time. Paula Abdul (61) was a successful pop singer – over the course of her career she was able to look forward to two Emmys and a Grammy. She became known to a larger audience as a judge on the popular talent show American Idol, in which she judged the singing talents of the candidates between 2002 and 2009. But shocking incidents are said to have occurred behind the scenes: Paula is now suing a producer for sexual assault.
As TMZ reports, the 61-year-old filed a lawsuit on Friday. According to the court documents claimed Paula, that the first assault occurred during “one of the first seasons of Idol.” The accused, Nigel Lythgoe, is said to have touched her breasts and other places in an elevator. In 2015 the producer should Paula harassed and harassed again.
Nigel has not yet commented on the allegations at this time. It’s not just the Briton who is facing violent accusations: Paula also took issue with “America’s Got Talent,” accusing the show’s bosses of discriminating against her in terms of her pay.
