Katy Perry has just recently revealed that even though it was widely believed, she was never raped by the hitmaker, Dr. Luke.
The Roar hitmaker
accepted that she is fully aware of Kesha’s ongoing legal battle
with the producer, whom she claims slipped her drugs and then
sexually assaulted her. However, Katy declared in a redacted
statement released on the 27th of August that despite the
fact that Kesha gave a detailed explanation that Katy was also raped
by Dr. Luke, it was all untrue. She furthermore denied that the
reports that suggested that she was drugged by the producer were all
incorrect and that she had never indulged in a romantic or sexual
relationship with Luke.
The Tik Tok
hitmaker however, maintains her claims against Luke that he drugged
and raped her. The music producer too filed a lawsuit against the
singer stating that her claims carried no evidence and were only
jeopardizing his career. Rumors have been encircling this case that
Kesha allegedly told Lady Gaga that Katy Perry was also raped by Dr.
Luke.
When deposed,
Lady Gaga clarified that the CEO and chairman of Interscope Geffen
A&M Records, John Janick had claimed that he had heard rumors
that Dr. Luke had sexually assaulted Katy Perry. In a text to Kesha
later, Lady Gaga passed on the rumor and also apologized that she had
dragged Katy into the spotlight. After the text messages were
released, the frustrated Poker Face hitmaker was also found to be
frustrated. She protested that she had simply mentioned the rumor and
it had been portrayed as the truth. Lady Gaga went on to declare that
if she ever had any knowledge of anyone being raped, she would never
announce it in public.
On the other
hand, John Janick in his own deposition stated that he had only ever
met Katy Perry once and had never been directly told that she had
been drugged or raped by the music producer.
Dr. Luke’s
lawyers have announced that Kesha’s suit filed back in 2014
claiming that he took advantage of her was bogus, which was why she
voluntarily withdrew it from court. They said they believe that it
was only Kesha’s attempt to gain public attention and to put the
producer under pressure in front of the media so she may also get
paid in the process. The lawyers are now demanding that the
defamation lawsuit against Kesha should be processed as soon as
possible.
Meanwhile, Kesha continues to claim that she was taken advantage of
and that not only that, but several other stars such as Pink also do
not like working with the music producer because to them, he seems a
little strange.
