Dr. Luke’s Legal Team Disputes Lady Gaga’s Testimony in Unsealed Deposition in Defamation Lawsuit

Dr. Luke’s legal team have emerged more details regarding the unsealed deposition Lady Gaga had made in September 2017. According to Rolling Stone, Dr. Luke’s lawyer made a statement regarding specific details that happened between Luke and singer-songwriter Kesha. The lawyer states “Being passionate about a topic that concerns us all is admirable. However, Lady Gaga has no knowledge of what happened on the night at issue because she was not there.” He continues to say “The actual evidence shows, among other things: Kesha got kicked out of a party after drinking too much and vomiting. As an act of kindness, Dr. Luke offered to allow her to sleep in his hotel suite, a few blocks away. Kesha slept on the bed in the hotel suite, while Dr. Luke separately slept on the couch. Dr. Luke testified under oath that he did not have any contact with Kesha. Kesha herself admitted under oath that she has absolutely no memory of Dr. Luke even being in the hotel room. Kesha has no memory of Dr. Luke engaging in inappropriate contact with her because it did not happen.”

In Gaga’s deposition, she fully defends Kesha and agreed to provide “unredacted copies … of the documents that were previously produced in redacted form.” The documents reportedly included text messages between Gaga and Kesha that Dr. Luke’s team believe include information regarding Kesha’s sexual assault allegations against the producer. The producer demanded Gaga to set a deposition date and even had her subpoenaed on the case, claiming she was spreading false information about Luke. Gaga’s lawyers then made a statement stating Gaga “has provided all of the relevant information in her possession and is at most an ancillary witness in this process.”
