Nigel Lythgoe, the co-creator, co-producer and judge on the long-running Fox reality comp "So You Think You Can Dance," has left the show a week after Paula Abdul filed a sexual assault lawsuit against him over alleged actions while she was working on "American Idol," which he co-created and co-produced, and then on "Dance" in 2015, when she was a panelist for that year--Lythgoe denies the accusations, but has still decided to leave, perhaps to the relief of Fox and show producers Industrial Media and dick clark productions (what a week for dcp!):

Her love and support for the contestants will be greatly missed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
