Report: Kesha Told Lady Gaga That Dr. Luke Raped Katy Perry

According to documents filed by Dr. Luke.

Documents filed by Dr. Luke in an ongoing defamation case against Kesha have revealed a new allegation that the music producer refutes: that he raped Katy Perry. According to documents obtained by The Blast, the allegation comes in a text message from Kesha to Lady Gaga sent February 26, 2016. “Following this text message conversation, and with [Kesha’s] encouragement, [Lady Gaga] spread negative messages about [Luke] in the press and on social media,” the filing claims. Luke subpoenaed Gaga to submit the text message and testify in the case in July 2017. Perry also submitted a deposition, according to the documents; she has not publicly accused Luke. The documents also claimed Kesha’s allegations of being drugged and raped by Luke are false.
