It's not her job to ask a witness, "What if your father raped someone?". That's immaterial.

Thank you for the kind words.  It helps to have someone else remind me to be kind to myself.

Smells are widely considered one of human kind’s most powerful memory triggers. Unless you’ve got a bottle of that person’s scent, there was no reasonable way for you to prepare yourself for that experience and you did great handling it. Absolutely fantastic. 30 minutes is nothing! Hell, there are some of us who…

Last year I became that crazy person for a bit. One day I was getting lunch and waiting in a line. A woman walked over and stood next to me and I was immediately in the middle of an anxiety attack. This poor woman had the same natural scent/body odor of the man who molested me when I was a kid. Hadn’t thought about…

Most likely she was and doesn’t want to admit it to herself. And just to be clear, that’s not supposed to be judgement, everybody is completely entitled to deal in whatever way works for them as long as it works for them.

I was skeptical but she fucking held her own. Voracious. Fearless. 

I can’t believe his legal team released a statement about this. If they wanted to rebut and question her, that’s what the deposition was for! That lawyer should be ashamed of herself for being so unprofessional. 

Oh, I have factual knowledge of her depression. I have factual knowledge of her need for support and love. I have factual knowledge of the spiral that I watched that girl go down. I have factual knowledge of trauma. I am informed and intelligent about this issue. That girl has experienced serious trauma and she is in…

I loved this part:

I didnt realize you could even be asked a hypothetical in a deposition. I thought it was just about your knowledge of whatever happened. That whole line of questioning was completely uncalled for. It has nothing to do with why shes even being deposed

Yep.  There is no need for those questions to prove up your case.

I remember at one point casually saying to a friend something like “you know when something reminds you of someone who sexually assaulted you and you’re just a crazy person again for a minute” and she was like “I’ve never been sexually assaulted” and I was like “Oh! Wait really?!” because at this point that seems so…

Yes. This was all a part of her plan to win an Oscar.

Gaga went on, and told Dr. Luke’s lawyer that she ought to be ashamed of herself:

“Don’t you roll your eyes at me.”

Like most humans, she has had good moments and bad moments. This is an example of a stellar A+moment. It’s not an application for sainthood. I can live with the ambiguity of giving her the props she’s due for this one, and continue to feel disappointment over R. Kelly.

Yeah - I shouldn’t have read this at work. Having someone defend Kesha while acknowledging her pain, is so powerful. This is brutal and Gaga hits it out of the park.

Fuck yeah, Stefani. Drag that future Fox Correspondent.

I wasn’t in the room and that about brought me to tears. I wish we didn’t live in a world where almost every woman I know has a story like this. 

JFC, go Gaga. I can’t imagine that line of questioning. What a fucking scumbag lawyer. What the F does her opinion on a hypothetical situation involving her father or her opinion of being falsely accused have ANYTHING to do with Kesha? Fuck that asshole. So infuriating.
