Kesha Sues Dr. Luke, Alleges Sexual Assault & Forced Drug/Alcohol Use

[Rebecca]

  Well it's unlikely he whisked her off to some hideout and started in on her the minute she arrived in LA, right? :-)   

Yes, true. It would have been after she signed a contract. However, it still puzzles me why she has waited so long to say anything. I think she'll find it very hard to prove he date raped her.

This is getting weirder and weirder with time...

[Rebecca]

  You may be right on that last part, but I think that incident is just one part of the whole picture.
         The one thing that's sure: it really takes some doing to turn your best selling label artist against you on the level she's against him.

Yes, it does. I feel very sorry for Kesha. I hope this whole lawsuit doesn't end up ruining her whole life.

[j.fco.morales]

There's a thin line between "what I see in you as an artist" and an abusive relationship.
If you're working with a creative person, you know they're way more sensitive and sometimes have some issues.
I tend to think she was insecure -weight issues, for example- and that put Luke in advantage, he was in a position of control and for someone who's having some self steem issues, it could be devastating.

In other hand, if the contract is in fact so abusive... it's like being a prisoner.
And when you're starting your career and you have an opportunity like that, you just take it and you don't even think about legal assistance.

The way it's looking right now I see Kesha dropping the case and resuming her career with Luke. I don't think they'll work together in the same room, but she'll still be signed to him and finish out her deal.

Whether you believe her or Luke, this seems to be the most logical conclusion for her. The court will not allow her to work with other people while this case goes on. I would be truly shocked if they did. Second, if she goes ahead with this, don't forget she recently dragged Sony into this. Her career with major labels will effectively be over. And that means her career as Kesha, the money-making pop star is done.

So the next step will be probably be: let some time pass, reach some sort of compromise with Luke, and eat your words. She'll probably say her mom forced her to do it, or she was going through drug abuse and/or depression. I think the writing is on the wall for her, and you can see it in the latest comments from her team.

Kesha sending pr-releases with misleading "Demi Lovato had Issues with that Rapist too"



So lame.

[Dr. Fleischman]

When millions of dollars are involved, people can go crazy.

[Rebecca]

That doesn't surprise me at all that Dr Luke would want his song to be the first single. I'm sure it's a common request from producers.

Yes, people definitely go crazy when so much money is involved!

[j.fco.morales]

Remember when Break A Sweat was released, I thought it was Demi?

DANG!

[J_A24]

Not surprised

[Adamoadam]

If this horrible stuff with Dr. Luke is true I will be deeply upset. I hope that Kesha would still work with Max tho...

Luke's lawyers apparently couldn't prove Pebe had control over Kesha and there were also 'jurisdiction issues' which persuaded judges to throw out the case.

So much lies from Kesha.

[Rebecca]

I'm glad that Kelly disputed that.
