The public Twitter statements come after the texts were revealed in court documents used in the legal battle between Kesha and Dr. Luke that started in 2014, with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga becoming involved in January 2017.

In a statement on Friday, Lady Gaga’s spokesman Sean Cassidy added (via Variety): “These text messages paint a picture of one friend trying to help another through an extraordinary difficult time.”

He added that the “private texts” are “several years old and in no way reflect Lady Gaga’s relationship with Katy Perry”.
