Kesha took to her Instagram account to give a look inside as to what’s been going on since a judge ruled against her breaking her contract after accusing her exclusive music producer, Dr. Luke, of sexually assaulting her. She says that SONY has offered her “freedom” if she retracts the statement about Dr. Luke raping her.
Kesha says that she will not retract the truth and if her career has to suffer because of it, so be it.
A spokesperson from Dr. Luke’s camp gave a statement to BuzzFeed:
The Court repeatedly stated Kesha is already free to record without Dr. Luke, and that she had not presented any facts supporting her claims. That’s because all the evidence — including Kesha’s own videotaped sworn testimony — show her allegations are false. The only thing Kesha is not free to do is to continue to lie about Dr. Luke through publicity stunts and outrageous smears, ignoring the fact that by her own free will she went to work and entered into new contracts with Dr. Luke years after this “incident” supposedly happened. Her goal all along has been solely personal enrichment by seeking to break contracts that brought her success and millions so she can enter into more lucrative ones. We look forward to our day in court holding Kesha accountable for her lies.
Sticky situation. I hope Kesha is able to move on from this and use her music as a way to help others who may be going through the same thing.
