Little Miss Sunshine fame Abigail Breslin became the center of controversy and reportedly received death threats after commenting on X about Katy Perry's latest album, 143, being produced by Dr. Luke.
In 2014, producer Dr. Luke and Kesha were involved in a legal battle where Kesha alleged that the producer drugged and r*ped her, while Dr. Luke counter-sued Kesha for defamation.
On July 11, 2024, Abigail Breslin indirectly took a dig at Katy Perry for working with an alleged abuser, which led to significant backlash. Clarifying her stance, Abigail asked everyone to calm down, stating she didn't say anything awful. The actress stated:
"I said I dont support abusers. crucify me. and I also never said I have an amazing music career. God... calm down."

Additionally, the Zombieland actress mentioned in another tweet that her statement supporting an artist she loves and condemning abusers has resulted in her receiving death threats.
"I never said a negative thing about your fave" — Abigail Breslin defends herself from Katy Perry's angry fans
Katy Perry's involvement in the lawsuit concerning Dr. Luke, the producer of her latest album, and Kesha dates back to 2017. According to Billboard, a particular point in Dr. Luke's defamation case against Kesha was her claim that she told Lady Gaga about the music producer r*ping Katy Perry. Kesha also alleged that an unnamed CEO of a major label gave her this information.
In a deposition released in August 2017, Katy Perry denied the allegations of Dr. Luke r*ping her or giving her roofies. Katy clarified that she never alleged or mentioned being in a romantic or s*xual relationship with the producer, nor did she claim that he engaged in physically derogatory behavior with her.
In June 2023, Kesha and Dr. Luke mutually settled their long-standing legal battle without disclosing their settlement agreement's terms and particulars.
On July 11, 2024, Abigail Breslin posted a series of tweets referring to Kesha's allegations against Dr. Luke and expressed her disdain for Katy Perry working with an alleged abuser.
Abigail's first tweet mentioned that working with known abusers in any industry adds to the narrative that "men can do abhorrent sh*t and get away with it." She also mentioned her love for Kesha, who gave Abigail one of the best shows she had attended last year.
Abigail added another tweet to her initial statement, asserting that she has been an advocate against s*xual abuse and domestic violence for a long time. She stated that she would continue to speak out, regardless of being called "disgusting and awful."
After receiving alleged death threats from Katy Perry's fans for bringing up the Dr. Luke and Kesha controversy again, ahead of Katy's new album's release, Abigail Breslin clarified her stance in a final tweet.
Abigail Breslin's tweet stated:
"im not gonna stop speaking out against abuse. I never said a negative thing about your fave. please relax. im allowed to have a perspective. youre allowed to roast my career and treat me horribly but idk why you would. I stand by what I said. gn"
Apart from Abigail Breslin, music fans have shown mixed support to Katy Perry's latest album, 143, being produced by Dr. Luke. However, neither the music producer nor Katy Perry has commented on the controversy surrounding the album.
