As the court case between Dr Luke and Kesha escalates, the producer is now suing Kesha's lawyer over a series of defamatory tweets relating to Lady Gaga.
Currently being sued for allegedly abusing Kesha "sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally", Lukasz Gottwald has been explicitly linked to the unidentified attacker who Lady Gaga claimed assaulted her when she was 19.
Dr Luke was named by lawyer Mark Geragos on Twitter. Geragos wrote: "Guess who the rapists [sic] was?" and when someone replied "Lukasz" he retweeted the answer and replied "#bingo".
"Through the publication of these 'tweets,' [Geragos] unambiguously and crassly asserted that [Dr. Luke] was the 'rapist' who sexually assaulted Lady Gaga," the summons, which has been filed in New York City, according to Rolling Stone. Geragos also told TMZ: "I said it, because it's true."
The summons also refers to the claims as "demonstrably false and defamatory." It then adds that Dr. Luke has "never been alone with her, has never touched her and has met her only twice for very brief periods of time."
"This ridiculous, manufactured link between Lady Gaga and the Kesha/Dr. Luke lawsuit is utterly incomprehensible," said a spokesperson for Gaga. "This simply isn't true and how dare someone take advantage of such a sensitive matter."
