Ke$ha's lawyer alleges that producer Dr. Luke raped Lady Gaga

by Tyler Munro

It’s been roughly a year since Ke$ha checked herself into rehab to treat an eating disorder, and that’s around the time that the pop singer, with support from her mother, started to make accusations of her producer Dr. Luke.

“Dr. Luke told a friend of ours he thought she looked like a refrigerator on her latest video, and could she please try to control her weight,” her mother said back in January.

A few months ago, the allegations ramped up. Ke$ha launched a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, alleging that he had been abusing her physically, verbally, emotionally and sexually since she first began working with him as an 18-year-old. She says she withheld going to the cops because she was suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

This week, things got even more intense. Yesterday, Lady Gaga admitted that she was raped by a record producer early in her career. A few hours later, Ke$ha’s attorney, Mark Geragos, claimed that the assailant was none other than Dr. Luke.

After asking his followers to “guess who the rapist is,” Geragos responded to a fan that yes, he was insinuating it’s somebody Ke$ha fans would know.

When someone tweeted “Lukasz,” Dr. Luke’s last name, Geragos replied with “#bingo.”

Both Lady Gaga and Dr. Luke’s camps have denied the accusation.

“Luke met Lady Gaga twice for less than half an hour total in those two meetings combined,” said Dr. Luke’s reps. “He has never been alone with her and never touched her. Neither meeting was in that time frame reported.”

But Geragos maintains that it’s true, and while we’re not lawyers and can’t predict how this will impact his client’s case against Dr. Luke, things are certainly about to get interesting. [h/t Billboard]
