What was the controversy involving Lady Gaga and Katy Perry during Kesha's lawsuit against Dr. Luke?
Lady Gaga and Katy Perry were two names that emerged prominently when Kesha sued Dr. Luke for s*xual assault, battery, emotional abuse, and gender violence in 2014.
After the lawsuit began, some of the court documents revealing Gaga's texts with Kesha went viral on X, wherein the latter expressed discontent with Katy not speaking out, given that there was an assumption about the pop singer being abused by Dr. Luke as well. However, Katy denied the same during a court deposition in 2017.
In the text exchange between Lady Gaga and Kesha, the former commented on Katy, saying:
“She is probably really afraid to lose everything. U are really strong standing up to him, she’s not as strong as u yet. Do u want me to see if I can talk to her. I know she’s mean. … She makes me angry about sh*t [but] I just try to have empathy for her.”
After the text exchange went viral, Lady Gaga took to X on December 1, 2018, to clarify her stance on her relationship with Katy Perry, stating:
".@katyperry & I have grown up in the industry together. We’ve gone through both celebrations & differences w/ each other. These are old texts. We’ve matured, gotten over the past, love each other & share deep respect. Katy is my friend and is truly a kind soul. End of story."
Katy was quick to repost Gaga's statement and responded with "Love you too friend. Onward and upward" in a tweet on the same day.
In other news, Katy Perry has recently been the target of multiple memes and comments targeting her for being a part of the all-female crew to go to space for 11 minutes via Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft.
