The lawsuit claims that Lythgoe "openly groped" them during filming of the series in 2003 and made unwanted advances after the show ended.
It comes days after US singer Paula Abdul also sued him, claiming multiple instances of assault.
The BBC has contacted Lythgoe's representatives for a response.
Last week, he denied abusing Abdul, saying he was "shocked" by the allegations.
