Kesha Accuses Dr. Luke of Raping Katy Perry
A new and very disturbing allegation has been leveled against music producer Dr. Luke.
To be more accurate, the allegation itself is not new.
But it has only just now been made public, and it has the music industry reeling in many different directions.
Allow us to explain…
The Blast has obtained legal documents that allege Kesha told Lady Gaga via text message in 2016 that Dr. Luke had raped both herself… and Katy Perry.
The first accusation listed above has been documented several times in the past.
Kesha claimed back in 2014 that Dr. Luke assaulted her and harassed her throughout their professional relationship and she has since filed a lawsuit against the infamous producer.
On May 31, however, Luke’s attorney filed papers that include the following sections:
On Feb. 26, 2016, [Kesha] sent a text message to Stefani Germanotta p/k/a Lady Gaga which repeated [Kesha’s] false claim that Gottwald had raped her.
In this text message, [Kesha] also falsely asserted that Gottwald had also raped Kathryn Hudson p/k/a Katy Perry.
Following this text message conversation, and with [Kesha’s] encouragement, Ms. Germanotta spread negative messages about Gottwald in the press and on social media.
For example, in February 2016, Ms. Germanotta posted multiple articles discussing defendant defamatory statements on her Twitter page.
To be clear, as mentioned above, it is Dr. Luke’s own attorney who included these text message excerpts in his court filing.
He is claiming that Kesha has defamed his client and is denying her accusations about both her rape and the rape of Perry by Dr. Luke.
We reported last August that Lady Gaga had agreed to submit unedited text exchanges she had with Kesha to the court in an attempt to assist Kesha with her lawsuit against Dr. Luke.
In addition to co-producing Kesha’s breakout hits “TiK ToK” and “We R Who We R,” the producer also worked on a number of Perry singles, including “I Kissed a Girl,” “Teenage Dream” and “Roar.”
There’s no debate here that he knows Perry well.
But there’s obviously a very big difference between knowing her well and assaulting her in the manner Kesha has reportedly described to her friends.
No one from Kesha, Lady Gaga or Katy Perry’s camps have commented on this story.
In a New York Times feature published a year ago, Perry simply said “I had to leave the nest” when asked why she stopped working with Dr. Luke.
Dr. Luke alleges he lost out on over $ 10 million that he would have made for working on various Perry’s albums… and thinks Kesha’s allegations damaged his reputation and led to his split from the American Idol judge.
The documents published by The Blast also reveal that Perry has been deposed as part of Kesha’s lawsuit, but they do not give details to what was said.
Luke, meanwhile, has strongly denied all allegations of assault and abuse by Kesha.
He has countersued the singer for breach of contract and defamation.
In February of 2016, Dr. Luke tweeted:
“I didn’t rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister.”
Two years after he made this statement, Kesha stole the show at the 2018 Grammy Awards when she performed her empowerment anthem “Praying” in support of the Time’s Up movement with a choir comprised of Cyndi Lauper, Camila Cabello, Julia Michaels, Andra Day and Bebe Rexha.

Pink: Dr. Luke is a Scumbag and I"m Glad He"s Getting Sued!
Back in 2014, Kesha accused songwriter and producer Dr. Luke (real name Lucasz Gottwald) of years of sexual abuse. Kesha’s long legal battle to extricate her career from his clutches prevented her from doing new music until very recently.
But Dr. Luke hasn’t gone anywhere, and Kesha isn’t the only person he’s worked with who doesn’t think much of him.
Pink is speaking out about Dr. Luke based upon their past work together, and she is not mincing words.
Kesha has described years of torment, alleging sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse, and disturbing and controlling behavior on Dr. Luke’s part.
Though Kesha withdrew one of her suits against Dr. Luke, she has another still in the works.
Most importantly, for Kesha’s well-being, is that she’s finally able to produce her own music again.
(Two friends of mine were at a Kesha concert earlier this week — and got glitter thrown on them by Kesha herself. Glitter doesn’t come out easily and one of those friends is an accountant, but
A large number of celebrities, from Adele to Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga, have come out in support of Kesha.
Other celebrities, like Kelly Clarkson, spoke extremely negatively about Dr. Luke, describing him based upon their own alleged experiences.
And now Pink has joined that latter group.
In the New York Times profile on Pink that was published yesterday, Pink spoke about Dr. Luke and Kesha’s accusations against him.
“I don’t know what happened.”
Well, Pink wasn’t there.
Though she could always just listen to Kesha’s firsthand account.
“But I know that regardless of whether or not Dr. Luke did that, this is his karma and he earned it because he’s not a good person.”
Wow.
We’ve heard “Dr. Luke is innocent” from a few people, and of course “Dr. Luke totally did it,” but this might be the first instance of “honestly even if this is a false accusation, Dr. Luke sucks and deserves this.” Pink does not like this guy.
The two of them have collaborated in the past, but that’s clearly not a part of history that’s going to repeat itself.
“I have told him that to his face and I do not work with him.”
Pink has zero chill, you guys.
“He doesn’t do good business, he’s not a kind person, he doesn’t do the right thing when given ample opportunities to do so, and I don’t really feel that bad for him.”
That’s quite the indictment of … basically every aspect of his character.
Can we be totally honest for a moment?
We get that some people might be leery of saying “I believe that these charges are true,” simply out of fear of being sued by a man who is clearly very litigious and doesn’t seem to care what the world thinks of him.
(Seriously, Kesha’s legal battle received vocal support from Adele and got financial support from Taylor Swift at the height of Taylor’s popularity — any man with sense would have bowed out)
Even if a lawsuit like that would be on shaky ground, nobody likes being sued, right?
But Pink could say “I support Kesha.”
Like: “I don’t know what happened but I totally support Kesha.” That’s gotta be safe to say, right?
You don’t even have to like her music (though, honestly, you have two ears and a heart, don’t you?).
But it’s still heartwarming to hear people blasting Dr. Luke.
Pink is a very straightforward person, so we imagine that she just felt uncomfortable at the idea of speaking about something that she didn’t personally experience.
Her description of Dr. Luke matches up almost exactly with Kelly Clarkson’s, who said that she and Dr. Luke “clashed” and basically that he’s an all-around scumbag.
Many wonder when the scales will finally tip and Dr. Luke will just give up his fights and disappear from public life.
And, frankly, considering what he’s accused of, merely fading into obscurity while remaining extremely wealthy (his net worth is estimated to be in the low 9-digits) might be getting off easy.
