Katy Perry’s deposition in Kesha’s sexual assault suit against Dr. Luke will be made public

Whatever Katy Perry said about producer Dr. Luke in a deposition for Kesha’s sexual assault trial will soon be unsealed in spite of Katy’s request to the contrary, according to the New York Post. A while back in the seemingly endless legal battle between Kesha and Dr. Luke, it was revealed Kesha claimed in a text message that the producer had also raped Katy. That text — sent by Kesha to yet another pop star, Lady Gaga — was dubbed a lie by Dr. Luke as the legal proceedings continued. Katy’s deposition is expected to be unsealed in the next three days after a Manhatan Supreme Court judge ruled whatever Katy testified was “relevant to several important factual and legal issues” and that there was “legitimate public interest” in revealing the information. The judge also ruled against Dr. Luke’s request not to make public the names of artists he’s working with in 2018. Kesha’s medical records will remain sealed, according to the Post, but could become public once the trial begins next year. The messy case began in 2014 when Kesha sued Dr. Luke on grounds he “sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally” abused her for more than 10 years beginning when she signed with him at age 18. Dr. Luke counter-sued Kesha for defamation.
