Lady Gaga found herself in the middle of a sexual assault lawsuit between Kesha and music producer Dr. Luke.
The 28-year-old "Born This Way" singer made headlines Tuesday after revealing during an interview with Howard Stern that she was raped at age 19 by a music executive who was 20 years her senior.
Soon after, Kesha's lawyer Mark Geragos made a claim that Dr. Luke was the man who sexually assaulted Gaga while she was a struggling teenage artist. A lawsuit filed by Kesha claimed that Dr. Luke sexually and emotionally abused his client over the course of her career.
Geragos took to Twitter on Tuesday to suggest that the music producer had committed the same sexual offense to Gaga.
"Guess who the rapist was," the post read, along with a link to a story about Gaga's revelation. When a fan asked if he was insinuating that the alleged perpetrator would be familiar to Kesha fans, he replied, "Oh Yes."
However, a representative for Gaga quickly dismissed that rumor.
"It's absolutely not true," Gaga's rep told TMZ. "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."
According to E! Online, Luke's rep also released a statement, which read, "Mark Geragos' statement is completely false and defamatory. Luke met Lady Gaga twice for less than half an hour total in those two meetings combined. He has never been alone with her and never touched her. Neither meeting was in that time frame reported."
