Nigel Lythgoe Responds To Paula Abdul’s Paula Goodspeed Claims

Nigel Lythgoe spoke with UsMagazine.com about Paula Abdul’s claim that her efforts to keep alleged stalker Paula Goodspeed from auditioning on ‘American Idol’ were ignored. “I don’t remember Paula Abdul ever saying, ‘Don’t bring this one or that one in,’” the former ‘Idol’ producer said at the Superstars of Dance press day in Los Angeles on Thursday. “But she says she did – I believe her. My point is, this young woman went through the audition process. None of us believed she posed any danger to Paula. Believe me, if we had, she wouldn’t have been in the room.” The full story at usmagazine.com has since been removed.
