Katy Perry denies Dr Luke raped her in deposition; producer calls Kesha's claims 'bogus'
The highly redacted deposition of Katy Perry in the legal battle between producer Dr Luke and Kesha has been released and in it, she has revealed that she was not raped by producer Dr Luke. In the deposition dated July 21, 2017, the pop star also made it explicitly clear that she was not given a roofie by Luke, was never in a sexual or romantic relationship with him and has never told anyone – even jokingly – that the producer had raped her.
Kesha had reportedly messaged Lady Gaga claiming that an unnamed record exec (later revealed to be Interscope Geffen A&M Records chairman and CEO John Janick) told her that Luke had also raped Perry. According to Billboard, Katy's claims had become pivotal to Luke’s defamation case against the ‘Tik Tok’ singer, who had claimed that the producer raped her and gave her drugs against her will.
