Mark Geragos, the lawyer, tweeted, "Guess who the rapist was?"

Someone responded confirming if the rapist was Dr. Luke, to which Geragos responded: "#bingo."

Gaga's rep, meanwhile, responded to TMZ, denying the claims.

"It's absolutely not true," the rep said, although the rep did not give any details on who the singer was referring during her interview with Stern.

TMZ further inquired from Luke's rep.

"Mark Geragos' statement is completely false and defamatory. Luke met Lady Gaga twice for less than half an hour total in those two meetings combined," a rep for Dr. Luke said.

"He has never been alone with her and never touched her. Neither meeting was in that time frame reported," the rep continued.

Meanwhile, Geragos did not retract from his statement, telling TMZ, "I said it because it's true."

Geragos also went on to say that the Cosby scandal triggered other rape victims to come out.

"The Cosby allegations have now made others more courageous about coming out," he said.

Geragos is planning to depose Gaga in Kesha's sexual assault lawsuit against Dr. Luke.

Geragos also revealed that she will depose three other women the case to testify against Dr. Luke.

While Lady Gaga admitted that she was raped by a music producer 20 years her senior, she however did not give further details.

In fact, the best-selling pop singer was not interested on talking about that harrowing moment in her life but the radio host pressed on.

Gaga said that the incident is now one of those "horrific things that I'm able to laugh [at] now."

The singer also detailed that she has gone through mental, physical and emotional therapy to be able to recover. However, what she is now is just a shell of her former self, the best-selling singer said.
