Dr. Luke Suing Kesha's Lawyer Over Lady Gaga Rape Tweet

(Radio.com) Dr. Luke is suing Kesha's lawyer Mark Geragos for defamation after he implied on Twitter that the producer raped Lady Gaga. Gaga revealed in an interview that she had been sexually abused as a teen, possibly by a music producer.

Gaga did not name her assailant, but Geragos took to Twitter after the interview became public to give his two cents, tweeting, "Guess who the rapists was?" replying "#bingo" when someone tweeted "Lukasz"--Dr. Luke's real name is Lukasz Gottwald--at him.

Gaga's reps soon after denied that Dr. Luke had anything to do with her sexual assault telling E! News, "This ridiculous, manufactured link between Lady Gaga and the Kesha-Dr. Luke lawsuit is utterly incomprehensible. This simply isn't true and how dare someone take advantage of such a sensitive matter." Geragos has since deleted his "#bingo" tweet.

According to Billboard, Gottwald filed a lawsuit against Geragos--who most notably handled Michael Jackson's molestation case in 2011--for the "horrific, outrageous and maliciously false assertion that [Gottwald] raped the world famous musical artist Lady Gaga." Read more here.
