Back in 2014, Kesha accused songwriter and producer Dr. Luke (real name Lucasz Gottwald) of years of sexual abuse. Kesha's long legal battle to extricate her career from his clutches prevented her from doing new music until very recently.
But Dr. Luke hasn't gone anywhere, and Kesha isn't the only person he's worked with who doesn't think much of him.
Kesha is experiencing a career renaissance these days, but that doesn't mean she's putting her difficult past behind her just yet.
Back in 2014, Kesha accused famed producer Dr. Luke of sexual assault.
Kesha has dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against Dr. Luke... in California!
That much was confirmed on Monday, August 1 when the singer's legal team formally dropped the lawsuit in California (there's still one in New York).
In the midst of Kesha's highly publicized legal battle with Dr. Luke, the record producer who she alleges raped her, the singer now claims she was offered a deal if she recanted her story.
Kesha may have lost her case against producer and alleged rapist Dr. Luke, but it turns out she may end up the victor after all.
The legal battle between Dr. Luke and Kesha gets uglier by the day.
It was the most emotional night of the 2016 Academy Awards.
At one point during the long ceremony, Lady Gaga sat behind a piano and belted out the meaningful lyrics from "Til It Happens to You," a song about sexual assault.
Earlier this week, Dr. Luke, the music producer who has been accused of sexually and physically abusing Kesha, took to Twitter to defend himself, claiming he never raped or had sex with the singer.
"It’s sad that she would turn a contract negotiation into something so horrendous and untrue," he tweeted.
After a judge denied Kesha's request to be released from her recording contract due to alleged sexual and emotional abuse from Sony producer Dr. Luke, the internet erupted in outrage.
Lady Gaga visited the Howard Stern Show yesterday for a surprisingly revealing interview in which she revealed some traumatic experiences from early in her career.
Asked by Stern about an incident she alluded to in which she was "raped by a record producer," Gaga explained:
Last week, Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, claiming that her former producer had sexually assaulted her several times over the course of ten years.
Luke countersued and accused Kesha of blackmail and extortion.
