Lady Gaga has issued an apology of sorts after text messages were uncovered in which she said Katy Perry was “mean”.
The comment was made in a 2016 text conversation with Kesha. Kesha was in the depths of her legal battle with Dr Luke at the time, and, believing Katy had been raped by Dr Luke and was staying silent (Perry has since said she was never assaulted) Kesha expressed her frustration to Gaga at Perry not speaking out.
Gaga replied:
“U are really strong standing up to him, she’s not as strong as u yet.
“Do you want me to see if I can talk to her?” Gaga added. “I know she’s mean.”
Addressing the comments after they came to light this week, the Born This Way singer attempted to clear the air.
“[Katy and] I have grown up in the industry together,” she tweeted.
.@katyperry & I have grown up in the industry together. We’ve gone through both celebrations & differences w/ each other. These are old texts. We’ve matured, gotten over the past, love each other & share deep respect. Katy is my friend and is truly a kind soul. End of story. ❤️

Katy, accepting the explanation and reciprocating the good vibes, tweeted in reply:
“Love you too friend. Onward and upward.”
