Lady Gaga visited the Howard Stern Show
yesterday for a surprisingly revealing interview in
which she revealed some traumatic experiences
from early in her career.
Asked by Stern about an incident she alluded to
in which she was "raped by a record producer,"
Gaga explained:
"I was about 19... It didn't affect me right after
as much as it did four or five years later. It hit
me so hard."
Some listeners noticed similarities between
Gaga's story and the descriptions offered by
Kesha, who claims she was raped by Dr. Luke -
one of the pop world's most famous producers.
Disgustingly, Mark Geragos - a lawyer for
Kesha who's had no contact with Gaga - seized
what he saw as an opportunity to make a better
case for his client:
Shortly after Lady Gaga's interview, Geragos
tweeted, "Guess who the rapist was?" When
followers began to guess that it was Luke,
Geragos replied, "#Bingo."
A rep for Gaga immediately issued a statement
after the lawyer's comment caused a stir, saying
that Geragos' claim is "absolutely not true."
Geragos is sticking to his story, however. The
famed celebrity attorney told TMZ, "I said it
because it's true."
He then compared Kesha to the women who
have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault, and
stated that he believes more Dr. Luke accusers
will come forward.
In any event, Kesha is suing Luke for allegedly
drugging and raping her several times over a
period of ten years, a claim he has adamantly
denied.
