Abdul, una de tres jueces de American Idol, reclamó durante una entrevista reciente con Barbara Walters que los productores sabían que Paula Goodspeed la estaba acosando, y de todos modos la dejaron entrar en una audición.
Goodspeed fue encontrada muerta el mes pasado, en un aparente caso de suicidio, dentro de su carro, estacionado cerca de la casa de Abdul en Los Angeles.
Lythgoe dijo que recordaba a Goodspeed como "una chica encantadora" y "una gran seguidora de Paula".
