TMZ: Gaga denies claim by Kesha's lawyer that Dr. Luke raped her

[uo111 5,265]

Not if other women come forward. As we have seen with other rapists, there are usually several victims. If others get the courage to come forward with their story, then Kesha will have a better case.

It's too late for that. No one would believe them without hard evidence, which they obviously don't have.

 

This lawyer lost the case for them, it's over.

It was very unprofessional of the lawyer to bring Gaga into this, and it was very unprofessional of Gaga's representative to comment on Ke$ha's allegations and the case itself.

what is going on? we didn't know she was raped until yesterday (at least I) and know this...

It's not too late. More victims give support to another victim's claims.

 

This case isn't close to being over, it hasn't even started. They aren't looking to convict Dr. Scumbag anyway, they are just trying to prove that Kesha was working under unhealthy conditions and that continuing with her current contract would hurt her mental stability.

Well there goes Kesha's case :brokemyhip:

If there was more victims.

 

They are grasping for straws. The lawyer is incredibly unprofessional and whether you like it or not, that loses legal cases. When they are caught trying to get people to falsely accuse someone, and are called out on it, it's over.

STOP ACCUSING Y'ALL!

Even if Gaga is speaking about Rob Fusari, we still don't know if he actually did something illegal.

If Gaga wanted justice or him getting punished she would have done something or taken him to court and not wanted us to interfere with her case.

 

You're not ****ing serious are you? Gaga just admitted something that happens to a LOT of rape victims: she was too traumatized and it took years for her to even accept for herself that he raped her. Most women don't report for a f*ckton of reasons (this being a rape culture we live in). Here are just a few, but there are many many more, rest assured.

 

- Police don't take rape accusations seriously in the least and it has been proven many times before that it's common for them to try to manipulate women into dropping the charges (especially if the rape wasn't committed by a total stranger);

 

- There is a statute of limitations to criminal prosecution for rape. If a woman wants to prosecute later because she couldn't before for any reason (for example PTSD, anxiety and all other byproducts of such trauma) but a couple of years have passed: too late! That rapist can never be criminally prosecuted and thus not punished, ever.

 

- People treat women who talk about their rape like absolute sh*t (victim-blaming, questioning everything about their rape, s-xual history, and SO much more). Victims, especially public ones, are almost inevitably dubbed attention wh*res and their accusation will haunt their public perception for the rest of their lives (paraphrasing Gaga in the exact interview we're talking about here: "I don't want my life, my achievements and my work to be reduced to one single moment in time a man did that to me"). Just look at Bill Cosby. 20+ unrelated women have come out over the years with similar stories that absolutely corroborate eachother and people are still victim-blaming them en masse. 20+ WOMEN.

 

- Trials can be immensely (re-)traumatizing and are highly likely to fail or will never even start;

 

- If you actually get a "rape kit" done (which is another invasion of your body and has to happen hours after the assault) it's highly likely it won't ever get used in court because there are literally more than 20,000 kits around the US right now dating from years and years ago just accumulating in warehouses because they're not being a--lyzed (even when the victims pay for those kits themselves, which is mandatory in some states);

 

I could go on for days and days listing the reasons.

 

You can be the "perfect victim" (stranger rape, not walking alone at night, wearing a ****ing burqa, having fought back and gotten wounds all over her body) who looks traumatized in all the "right ways" (read: doing everything people who know nothing about trauma THINK you should do and how you should act) and you're still damn unlikely to get any justice - and that's the understatement of the millenium. 3 out of 100 reported rapes lead to rapists seeing a single day in jail. Let that sink in for a moment. Your misogynist bullsh*t is the last thing this forum needs.

[Koreku 2,387]

Ke$ha's lawyer be like 

 

[Vernier 3,786]

She should be firing her legal team. Even if this was true, just the fact that he exposed it that way in a tweet is beyond unprofessional :smh:

[Koreku 2,387]

what if it was space cowboy :air:

[wahkeenasitka 1,995]

Obviously it wasn't Dr. Luke.  She was pretty darn clear that it was rob fusari 

 

Right? I thought that was obvious.

Do you know what the reason for this is? The best evidence that a crime was committed comes from one of those kits. Why wouldn't they be used?

 

Thanks for the facts and perspective.

That's what I said in the first place. That there might just be more victims come forward, due to the fact that rapists usually have multiple victims. Now, it could be that those victims don't want to come forward...because look at how society automatically questions and dismisses rape victim's claims. It also could be that there will be enough proof of emotional turmoil, with Kesha's eating disorder that almost killed her, that they won't even need to prove the rape allegations.

 

They aren't looking to convict him, just to prove that being in the contract is unhealthy for Kesha and her mental stability.

I thought it was Fusari too, just bad timing for Dr Luke XD

[cookiemonster 7]

It was obviously Rob. Does anyone remember when he tried to sue her back in late 2009 when she really became a huge star. He's an a**hole. The man is a freak.
