Lady Gaga reiterated her support for Kesha amidst the continued legal dispute with Dr. Luke.
Lady Gaga continues to show support for Kesha amidst her legal battle with Dr. Luke, emphasizing that she cannot stay silent while witnessing a fellow woman facing public scrutiny for something common in the music industry. Gaga, who shared her own experience of sexual assault at 19, expressed her determination to stand by Kesha, who has accused her producer of abuse and assault over the years. The singer highlighted the importance of showing solidarity and not dismissing another woman’s pain, drawing from her personal connection with Kesha and witnessing the devastation of her struggles.
She continued by discussing the reasons behind the reluctance of many individuals in the music industry to speak out, noting that a lot of people are afraid of potential repercussions. “No one wants to say anything negative about anyone. Firstly, because we are not vengeful individuals. We don’t want to harm anyone. But secondly, I believe everyone is genuinely worried about facing consequences from someone else. This is just the reality of how this industry operates… I want to support her, but I also need to consider protecting myself and my loved ones, which adds a layer of complexity to the situation.”
She continued, expressing her support for the artist, emphasizing her desire to make it easier for young artists to have their music heard in the industry. She shared her own struggles coming up in the business, highlighting the challenges faced in terms of morality, ethics, money, and contractual obligations. She stressed the importance of educating young people about these issues while the country debates where justice should be served. In contrast, Kelly Clarkson, who has collaborated with Dr. Luke, revealed that she felt “blackmailed” by her label to work with the producer in an interview with an Australian radio station.
