Kesha and the producer have been involved in the legal dispute since October 2014, when the Tik Tok singer filed a lawsuit in California against the producer citing “mental manipulation, emotional abuse and sexual assault” while also seeking to end her contract with Sony.
Dr. Luke responded by countersuing the singer for defamation. Kesha’s case had been dropped in August 2016 so that she could focus on the defamation lawsuit.
The legal battle recently saw Dr. Luke summon Lady Gaga to testify in court.

On Saturday, lawyers for Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, issued a statement regarding their attempt to depose Lady Gaga about relevant conversations she may have had with Kesha.
On Monday, Lady Gaga’s representatives issued a statement The Times stating, “As Lady Gaga’s legal team will present to the court, she has provided all of the relevant information in her possession and is at most an ancillary witness in this process. Dr. Luke’s team is attempting to manipulate the truth and draw press attention to their case by exaggerating Lady Gaga’s role and falsely accusing her of dodging reasonable requests.”
Lady Gaga has publicly supported Kesha since the singer first filed her lawsuit in 2014.
Tickets for Kesha’s Rainbow tour will be available to the public starting Saturday, Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. (ET/PT) at KeshaOfficial.com.
