New York Supreme Court Judge Jennifer G. Schecter ruled that Kesha had defamed her producer, Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald, in a private text message to Lady Gaga. The 2016 text said Kesha and fellow pop star Katy Perry had been raped by “the same man," referring to Gottwald. Even though the false statement appeared only in a private text, the judge still ruled it defamatory. ADWhen Kesha was kicked out of the party, Gottwald took her to his hotel room.
