According to some unsealed depositions that were released and obtained by OK! on Monday, August 27, Katy Perry revealed that she was never raped by Dr. Luke. The record producer has been knee-deep in a legal battle with former songwriting partner and pop hit-maker Kesha since 2014. Keep reading to hear the latest on the lawsuit.
Kesha has been entwined in a lawsuit with her former record producer over allegations that he "sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused Kesha to the point where she nearly lost her life." Dr. Luke denied these accusations and had no choice but to countersue for defamation.
Now, according to documents from July 2017, Katy said in her deposition that Dr. Luke never raped or sexually assaulted her. Her legal team also accused Kesha of making up a rumor that he did sexually abuse the "I Kissed A Girl" singer.
The rumor circulated the airwaves when court docs showed a text message that Kesha sent to Lady Gaga, in which she claimed he raped Katy.
Dr. Luke's legal counsel released a statement in regards to the newly released depositions which claimed that he has been "falsely (accused) of a heinous act."
In another deposition, "Behind These Hazel Eyes" singer, Kelly Clarkson testified that Dr. Luke "is a bully and demeaning. "In general, I don’t know anyone that likes him...People have said he is sleazy. People have said he is belittling, the same kind of things that I say...I don’t like him as a person.”
